Yes, why haven’t these kids heard of Bon Scott??!!

TBH my fav song of theirs isn't Bon Scott either...

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

Do the new draftees go on the training camp?

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.

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

[Roost it far 8,223]

Does anyone know where and what time they’ll be training this coming Monday?

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!!

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

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

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.
