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.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
