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 …

Stand by😎

    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.

    I don’t know who I should forewarn first… Jeffo or the Yowies.

    All very well but a fishing glove? 

    In the words of a fish shop owner, Please Explain!

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
