@Neil Crompton! I’m loving this zoom thing. Zoomin’ in n out like a boss. Might be some heads cut out of the shots coz sun in eyes. Hashtag swings and roundabouts.

Vids to come shortly.

More importantly… all-time favourite songs:

Bowser: Sweet Lies - Fleetwood Mac

BBB: The Car Song - The Cat Empire

Clarrie: I Remember Everything - Zach Bryan

Langers: Heroes - David Bowie


Same question, totally different ways of answering: 

Bowser didn’t have to think. I had barely finished the word “… song?” and he blurted out his choice.

BBB gave me the beautiful backstory of how when he and Hester first met they bonded over their love of The Cat Empire and attended many of the band’s gigs.

With Clarrie it was like getting blood from a stone. It took so long to get an answer that I was almost in the rooms at AAMI, and we began the convo at Gosch’s! At first he called out to Max “Hey Gawny! What’s my all-time favourite song?” Maxy said a song title and Clarrie said, “Nah it’s not that one anymore.” He kept saying he had several in mind but he  couldn’t pick just one. In the end it took for me to say, “If I had a gun to your head right now, what would be your FAVOURITE BLOODY SONG???”

Langers didn’t have to think long about it. He said, “Heroes, David Bowie.” I asked, “ Bowie fan? Or just a fan of that song?” He said, “Huge Bowie fan.” I showed him my Bowie tattoo and he was like “That’s so cool!” And I’m not 100% sure but I think we’re engaged now 😝

edit: two years ago I asked Goody the question and he chose My Happiness by Powderfinger. I asked him today if that’s changed and it hasn’t. Guess he is stubborn after all 😉

Does this mean we're in a polygamous situation, WCW?  Because my conclusion on reading "Langer- David Bowie" was that he's my soul mate 😂

(Although Rock and Roll Suicide is my all time favourite in truth, due to that beautiful crescendo and compassionate lyrics)

I’m not sure what I filmed but the usual apologies for the poor quality. Actually, extra apologies this week because since discovering the zoom function, I think the sky features a lot in the vids. 🤭

Will happily share Ed, DP. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays: he’s yours. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays: he’s mine. Sundays: we’ll give the poor bugger a day off.

*pencils Ed in for every single Sunday* 🤫 don’t anyone tell DP.

Ed's choice 70's Rock 'n Roll anthem absolute Bowie classic.

Rather 'hear' that on the 'G PA than being aurally assaulted by Hell's Bells or whatever else is going around .

One match at a time "We can be heroes just for one day".

Two extra vids to show that when @Dingo was chatting with Richo about JS29 last week and the chat was cut short due to Richo playing with the players’ kids, it wasn’t a ‘sneaky deflect’ as suggested by a poster on here. As you can see there’s not a fan in sight. 

https://streamable.com/uzt22q

https://streamable.com/yehofo

I could’ve captured way more of this. It happens every session. The kids absolutely adore Richo. In particular, Lmac (Leo McDonald) and George Gawn never tire of playing with him. Even in the training vids I posted above you can hear the kids squealing with delight.

That's adorable.

Also great news for Tmac and his wife who are expecting their third child after the sad loss of their baby earlier this year. Rainbow babies are very special.

@WalkingCivilWar  elite preparation?? I’ve seen more engaged blokes at our local footy club on a Tuesday night.  Yeah it’s cool but … anyway thanks for the vids!

It’s a captain’s run…whaddya expect???

The serious training is on a Tuesday or Wednesday (depending on what day we play) and it’s at Casey and it’s a closed session.

Serious training is also indoors at either AAMI or the amazing new facility at Casey. The captain’s run is an open session, one of the main purposes of which is player/fan engagement (photos/autographs).

Honestly, if you wanna see “elite preparation” maybe take yourself out to Casey and watch from afar through a fence.

Hard to be certain from the videos, but changes looked like:

In: Hunter, Tholstrup, Sparrow

Out: Windsor, Billings, Laurie

Yep agree. Hopefully I just picked him incorrectly with the VFL group in the vids.

He was actually quite clean in close last week. We need to give him time to see what he can do.

I don’t want to play Hunter again. But he’s on 199. So perhaps they’ll get him 200 against the old mob. But maybe would have been announced by now?

A few 'observations' if I may from WCW's videos this AM.

1. T'was a lovely brisk morning in Old Melbourne town.

2. Tommy Sparrow has learnt his lesson and after an 'appropriate' timeout wishes to be re-admitted to class.

3. During the kicking drill those that failed to hit their target were required to do five or so push ups. Bring back old school master Mr Blight and have the recalcitrants do push ups "live" during game time. Humiliation builds resilience or was that avoidance?

4. Jack Viney gave the #3 guernsey a new cachet. Takes no prisoners on field or at training.

5. That WCW be nominated for a Walkley award for services to Footy photo-journalism. To go with her other 'gongs' and her backstage pass.

The re-selection of a milestone player wouldn’t be announced any earlier.

If you know anyone who was involved in making tomorrow’s banner, you should ask them about the content of the banner. That’s a dead giveaway. 😁🙃😁

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
