Does anyone know where entrance E is on brunton avenue?? I have no idea where im supposed to park...

You won't be able to park there I don't think mate. It's actually UNDER the mcg, almost beneath the bridge that leads across to Rod Laver Arena. Best bet is probably to park in that street that sort of leads down around near the practice nets for the cricketers, with all those shmick looking apartment things on it.

Lads,

There's only two days to go and I can feel the excitement building up to a crescendo as the game nears.

I've heard on the grapevine that most of you are following my training advice and not only that, but you're champing at the bit at the prospect of taking the field on Sunday against our traditional enemy.

That Big Carl Cup means a lot to me and it should mean a lot to all of you. My assistant, Redleg, was actually team manager for the great man when he coached the Demons in 1979 and he has some great stories to tell about his experience in the role (but please don't even think of mentioning the game v Fitzroy that year to him).

Anyway, I want to thank you guys for maintaining the discipline in our quest to retain the Big Carl. It's really important to me as the coach to know that you're totally dedicated to the cause and that you've made such massive sacrifices in terms of your lifestyle over the past weeks in order to be cherry ripe for this game.

As a coach I really have to feel for blokes like Worsfold who must be filled with fear and trepidation whenever they turn on the telly to watch the news knowing that one of their own players are going to be in the headlines.

No such problems with me.

You blokes have got your heads screwed on properly. You're a coaches dream and I'm sure you'll all remember those important 1% ers that help to win games: basic things like "don't forget the sunscreen, the mouthguards and the water bottles!"

Keep it up and I'll see you on Sunday when we'll be going for the ride of our lives.

Sincerely,

Your coach.

BTW, do any of you have tattoos on your midriffs?

I am now the owner of a new jumper, even got number 12 put on while I was there :D

As offered Rollo I will do something about water and such, perhaps if anyone has water bottles they could bring, it would be helpful. I don't know how people feel, but shared water at sports is not recommended by health departments and most sports administrations.

thanks, legend...

forum footy games are exempted under the health dept regs... :lol:

I hear the forecast is now 31 and late showers

It'd be a real shame if it rained. You see, I prefer an open game where I can use my superior fitness and skills to really hurt the opposition.

It just sounds to me like you're soft :lol:

Good luck for the game everyone. Do Demonland proud or we'll revoke your posting rights :P

Phew. As long as you don't revoke them. :P

Soft? Incidentally I've modelled my kicking style on TJ's... you'd be surprised how much success I've had in a short period of time, though I wouldn't dare say I've gotten myself anywhere near his level. I'd like to think that adopting his kicking style hasn't inflicted any of his less-desirable traits on me, however. Sorry TJ lovers, a cheap shot I know...

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
