Probably just what they heard this morning. 
So many ways for them to find and hear music these days…

I better stop before I sound too old.

Sure is, but I still buy vinyl so... I am old. :P

All I can say is there will need to be an apology book available for many D/Landers and Demon fans to sign after Jeffo is selected and played for a year or two.

Great to see his physical development along with his mental resolve plus ability over the journey.

His career may well be the perfect way for a recruit to approach AFL adaptation.

Lets hope he can fulfil his promise in spades. 

I'll be happy to purchase the book, will a thousand pages be enough??😎

This is Demonland and MFC supporters, they will have a new whipping boy to sneer at, my money is on either McAdam or Fullarton if they don't make the AFL team by mid season.

McAdam is already mine

In this respect we are no different to some "supporters" of every other club. 

It's not just a Demonland / MFC thing.

Spargo - heard that they are being cautious with his return but doesn't look like it will be before Christmas but that is just a guess. Didn't do anything other than stationary warmup stuff with the footy. Not running at the moment.

Was running the boundary on Wednesday

He must not have made it past where I was watching.

More likely I got the day wrong - Monday...

Put it down to post draft hysteria

Impressed to see you have put supporters in quotation marks, agree, but anecdotally MFC are some of the worse, you only have to look at the Insta feed after a loss.

I was actually disappointed myself with McAdam's season and the fact he is not at training at the moment, but there may be reasons we are not across, but I leave the decisions on a players future to the Footy Dept itself, although that being said every man and his dog knew Josh Schache was done.

Please don’t say it’s a song featuring Brian Johnson. I know I’ve probably mentioned this before, so at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I walked out on a free Canberra Day concert in the early 1970’s feeling ripped off, mid way through a performance by the band Geordie, of which he was the frontman (I won’t do him the honour of referring to him as their singer 😉). For mine, the only person who should ever have been considered as Bon’s replacement, was Alex Harvey!! (sadly, he too passed just a year after Bon).

It is, I love Shoot to Thrill. But in fairness I was about 5 when I first heard AC/DC in the early 80s so I heard Brian before Bon.

Not Vambo surely🤣.................there was nothing wrong with Geordie a good set of ear plugs wouldn't fix.

My choice would have been Sammy Hagar.

Saw him a few times with the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, and he had the voice (almost identical to Bon) and the attitude and swagger (and a Scotsman to boot). One of the best front men I’ve ever seen.

He would have been bored within a couple of songs, would have made for some interesting interaction though, if you are interested and want to track it down the Alex Harvey Soul Band is an interesting listen.

Yes, I have the album(s?)…he also had a very folksy album out before that… his Donovan period perhaps?

I’m hoping to get down there with my son when they resume training next year… but QANTAS are making it hard with their changes to the frequent flyer program. Even looking ahead to January or February next year, if we want to use classic rewards points, the only flights from Sydney to Melbourne require us to go via either Adelaide or Launceston!! This ends up costing us 50% more in points. Grrrrrrrrrr!!

 I would think so, yes. Great opportunity to meet the new teammates.

Good chance they (new draftees) will also be down at Gosch's tomorrow.

I wonder if TMac slides forward again?

If all going well, I think he plays 2’s more often thus year.  Petts back and hopefully Jeffo takes his spot up forward

Reckon they are a good chance. Probably won't train but will likely be trackside to soak it in.

In previous years the new draftees have joined in right after the draft.

If you love footy and running after that ball, tough to sit on the side. Though, I understand if they give them time to observe some of the drills, set-ups, and routines.

Did they train the day this photo was taken? It was right after the draft last year.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
