Ross Lyon got the email and ordered 40 sets of cymbals.

One of many reasons, apparently....

Who the hell is his barber? I’d like to send the missus!

Some buses have wi-fi!

Looking at the photos, Trac is looking spectacular. People that have asked if he looked fat, I would say that the pictures tell an incredible story. He looks like a beast. A ripped one at that.

Mainly toothless, uneducated swine. Oh, and a few Dees supporters.

Many thanks. Conflicts with another appointment. Was hope to sneak down for a look...

“Morning” means what time exactly? When is the bounce?

Writing this must be like kissing your sister, @Satyriconhome? thanks for the Don watch. I wish him well. Like wishing a goldfish in a swirling toilet of backed up turds well. i wonder what you saw that stands them out vs MFC, plus and minus, from your brief observation?

So we have an utterly meaningless AFLX to follow an utterly meaningless big bash. there is no soul in either of these, and seven will try to make them ‘meaningful’.

Looking at the AFLW, the ball is getting past 50 quicker from kick ins. If we believe we can win the midfield, then the basic press will be deeper and we will man on man closer targets, get the ball on the deck, and win the contested ball. Maxy will have a role in the press, or will cover their ruckman if he sits inside 30-60m. Each team has wins and losses based on accuracy. If we can make them kick under pressure, we can limit their accuracy. Our strategy of the target diamond 30m out gives us the best chance of accurate set shots. i hope your angst will be misplaced....

This is a significant issue for people with visual impairments. In the US, electric cars have to make a noise below 20 kmh. It is an option that is switched off as normal in Australia, and is a real danger to visually impaired people in car parks...

What compensation do teams get if their stars are injured? Imagine if Dangerfield busts something, and Betts blows out a knee. Could have serious implications on the series proper. Hope none of our lads grace this stupidity with their presence

Port should put some of that white powder and a pair of [censored] at the bottom of a pack. Might encourage sir run-around-the-outside to get a possie of his own.

Thanks McQueen. I have reserved it based on your recommendation. Interesting area of human performance...

Toe joint?

One thing they must avoid.... really? Der! no evidence this is remotely in play. we should also avoid playing with funnel web spiders, drinking bleach and dwarf burning. Idiotic piece of summer filler journalism.

I was in a ZZ Top phase and this song was playing when I signed up. Liked the idea that to be a demon tragic often feels like you got no clothes on. People stare and wonder aloud how small your stocks are. Not any more, proud to have my membership out at every opportunity. Avatar is from the tv show the Banana Splits.

An article on the famous 100 100’s run by the 4 Brayshaw boys, but Angus says ‘this year I will be watching on, unfortunately...’ Does anyone know what is going on with Angus that he would miss? Is he carrying an injury, being load managed, or ??? I cant recall having surgery post season (but could be wrong). Would welcome any insight....

I just watched the video ‘inside the top 4 picks’ posted by the AFL. On AFL.com.au if you can stand it. Some points: Carlton delayed making their first selection for several minutes for no reason. Gold Coast were about as interested as someone inspecting someone else’s tinea. They all think they are comedians. Saint reckon drafting King was worth 10000 members! Shows what a complete and utter toss-fest the event was. Poorly delivered viewing experience, and stage managed by idiots. THis should have been footage that should never have been allowed out. Awful stuff.

I love the fact that there is so much competition for spots, that you have to start now and go hard to get a spot in the team. We have competition at all lines in the squad now (although Gawn is a cert for 1st Ruck). Great environment to take it to the next level. Lets see what we do with the new rules (666). Thanks to all for the training reports and pics!

I am interested to know how they will train for the 6:6:6. (I know the devil is in the detail, but it seems like on name alone, this system should suit the Demons?) I would be keen to hear if we are doing specific drills for this, or if this will come much later just before JLT??

Thanks Saty for the pics, and DL for posting them here. Keep up the great (and much appreciated) work!

I would summarise our drafting as ‘Smoke gets in your eyes’. At every pick, there were kids available that we would have been slated to take. Instead, we read from our own hymn sheet and picked absolute Smokey’s. Half the kids had no profiles, and were taken well out of where they were expected to go. But I love that we do what is right, not what is expected. And overall, we have added most of what we needed. I still think we are one project big man shy, but we have addressed a lot of needs with May, KK and Preuss, adding Midfield depth with Sparrow, adding potential small forwards, and building more depth across the lines. Overall, we will probably be rated as mid-level in the draft/trade period, but that is actually a good thing. We are sharpening the axe, not racing around Bunnings trying to find one.

I wonder what the philosophy behind this choice was?
