Well Demonlanders I will be departing soon on the M1 from beautiful downtown Berwick to Goshville! 

I am fully prepared with Snake anti vax kit (not that I plan to get that close), anti Yowie mating cream, Gossamer hairspray, sunscreen, Vegemite sanger and fishing glove! 

Hopefully I can bring you incisive report in the genre of Robert G Barratt, Stephen King, Lachlan Mc Culloch, Enid Blyton and H.G Wells! If you see me, I'm the one up a tree with binoculars …

All good WJ, I’m across it. Anyone who forgets the Aerogard or sunscreen is welcome to hit me up. I’ll be the one who’s not swatting flies away.

High flying KPP. I believe he’s signed on with the Casey Demons for 2025 in the hope of getting a list spot at Melbourne in the SSP if a position opens up.

The 191cm, Johnny Weissmuller comes from another sport (swimming) so I would contend, he could be recruited as a Category B rookie. His age could be a problem.

Forget the Aerogard, there are far better insect repellents out there.

Bushman's is stronger and more effective as it has a higher DEET content.

However,  the best I've ever used is an organic product called Nature's Botanical which requires only a small application and which flies absolutely hate.  It's active ingredients are rosemary and cedarwood.

I find Bushman’s too strong as in when inhaled.

watching Storm training rn. They look in great shape but not as fit as our boys. I’m the only spectator which is surprising. They’re super friendly people.

Don't let the fact that he died get in the way of reincarnation as Tarzan or Jungle Jim.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
