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 😉

Can't believe they've dropped Laurie after his game last week.

Didn't think Tholstrup was playing great footy to be an automatic inclusion and if Hunter comes in off poor form and recent injury then it's just baffling. No disrespect to Hunter but would rather see Woewodin or Howes on the wing than him.

Where are you hearing Laurie’s been dropped?

Just going by your videos. He was training with the seconds team in the bottom two videos you posted and I didn't sight him in any of the clips with the senior team.

I like him, don't get me wrong. But his freo game was well below the standard before he got concussed. Expected inconsistencies given its his first year. Not an automatic selection for mine at this stage of his career. I suspect he'll be a permanent best 22 player next year though.

Well most people usually melt when he's in the team so I'm predicting generalise apathy with a hint of confusion.

Thanks WCW greatly appreciated and how good is it having all those happy kids running around the club, can’t remember seeing happy children at training with RDB, Northey or even Danners when coaching. Lol.!!

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
