There’s only one way to drive a Ferrari. 

Sorry Roost it but only a git with more money than brains would pay nearly $2m to solely drive a Ferrari fast and in a straight line.

I’d pay $2m to drive it fast on all roads, unfortunately my driving skills far outweigh my financial skills so I’ll settle for driving at the limit in my old Toyota.

Fair call, I partially stand corrected.

Ang is a philosophy based coach and won't apologise for it. It can take a while to implement and it was great that they did well last season so he could continue with it but in reality it probably needs two full seasons and some more signings. 

He was pretty devastated in his presser after the Liverpool game this morning, I really hope they can win some games soon because I really would like to see him get some long term success there. 

I know they're missing players but they're a complete mess at the back. I think it's poor coaching.

My expectations are not unreasonable I would have thought:

  1. A president and CEO that do not operate in a parallel universe
  2. A game style that results in more goals than behinds in finals
  3. A recruiting regime that can find more that one competent big forward in 10 years.

The other day I got rid of some unwanted stuff (tip; evaporative coolers do sweet f-a when you don't have the option of also ventilating the space) at Cash Converters and was Christian Petracca there? NO! I get that it was a couple of days before his wedding, but he'll still be married tomorrow while it could be years before I drop in to Cash Converters again.

We'll never make finals with this attitude.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    Some veteran Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations from another Preseason Training Session. WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    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
