Docs Demons

He was there watching.

Family drove up from Brissie today and staying at Coolum. Great spot right on beach and in fact Jones and a few of the boys were around town and having a feed then surf. Will be at Maroochy in morning and looking forward to seeing the lads train ( can't say boys anymore!!). However I am well into 60's and have no idea how to post via mobile so will let others report.

My contact up on Sunny Coast that told me about Maxy (great news being not as bad as first thought) chatted with HB and he mentioned calf better than what was reported but is aware if it pings again he is gone as a Dee.

Great news and hope he is there on Sunday in good spirits as Grand Kids really only want to see him and maybe Trac.

As I mentioned in initial post I trust and hope it is only a minor problem. Will be at Maroochy on Sunday along with family and hopefully Big Maxy is there and feeling better.

EDITED 31 JANUARY 2020 7:05PM I sincerely trust my contact at Maroochy is completely wrong but he told me Maxy left training today with what appears to be a knee injury. He was in rooms getting attention and in a fair bit of pain. Contact could hear him yelling. Let's hope for the best as nothing out in media as yet.

Bloody hope so DD as my Sons mate up here in Qld works at GC in fitness area and told son if (and probably a BIG if) he does get himself fit he can be a gun for us. Fingers crossed for HB

Seeing you will miss the open training on Sunday I would keep an eye open on the website for twitter details etc as they normally go to the Maroochy FC every 2nd day so you could pop along as its a big open complex. Also maybe as a tourist go along to Twin Waters where I assume they will be staying as in past and you may catch them wondering around doing their stuff.

In again thanks. Docs Demons and not sure what comp I was in last year.. Cheers

Big front runners as in the past and struggle big time if Stoinis and Maxwell fail. No back up in the batting at all. Heat if they get in or Sixers for me. Stars are just like the morning. They are fading.

[censored] we are training the house down. We must be back!

Agree and not bad for a club that finished 2nd last in 19. To obtain New Era and keep the others is a great thing for the club.

Agree then you can spend rest of day on Sunny Coast with family or if want to beat traffic back to Brisbane go after training. Not much traffic south at that time.

Of course he is going to say that. He is employed by us. Imagine if he came out and said I AM UNIMPRESSED!!

Totally agree. We need our best 6-10 players (which includes above 3) to improve that little bit and play to full potential plus the last 10-15 players to go up 10-20% and we'll be right up there.

A tragic happening but that game at the G against Essendon the following season was a great tribute to him with the Everly Bros song as the players ran out with his wife standing on the side. Plus we won for him.

Used to go watch Prahran a bit in those days seeing old Blackburn team mates in Rod Appleton and Alan Peach. Many a fine Sunday arvo was had by all particularly seeing we were allowed in those days to take our Tallies in !! By the way that Fitzroy player may have been Appleton as he had a couple of seasons at the Roys. Those days in the VFA were great. Used to love Dandenong play Port Melbourne. Sure bet their would be a BIFFO

Didn't Graeme Yeats play for Prahan or like many before me the memory is fading!!

Concur and along with Wheels we are in a good space with our indigenous boys

Number 4 if my memory is correct. He went on and played a season or two at East Ringwood in the then EDFL (now EFL). Played against him when at Blackburn. Him and John Ronaldson who played at Vermont had huge backsides and were hard to get around!!

As Saty and others have mentioned it is very early in December. Back in my day we would be lucky to see a footy in December. Then again we didn't really train until Cricket season was finished. Lets be positive and hope these so called high % of turnovers are not prevalent in late February which, I and you all will be trusting is not the case. I'm sure all clubs will be having issues with disposals early in Dec. Remember we will have turnovers. Matter of limiting them to as little as possible.

You and Chook are quick off the mark with the Ricky and Peter responses. Good one's.

Agree. More the Vic boys that get drafted to Interstate teams that want to come home.

Trust he is better than the last Jacko we had!!

Concur fully.
