Why, on this forum that provides an incredible source of information ( I still remember the excitement I felt when I found DL over 10 years ago) do people insist on deriding comments made by contributors like Ghost Writer. Her insights along with a few (very few) others provide the tangible fuel that keeps this place valid. Remember that she is the one that committs to attending training sessions, reaching out to players and generally immersing herself in the club and is then generous enough to take time to post on DL. That alone is far more than can be said for almost all of the rest of us. My point is this; you may not agree with everything she says but my goodness her reporting comes from a more reliable place than most of our opinions. I don't know Ghosty but by jingoes I want to thank her for the work she does for our great club and this forum!!

I was there this morning and don't have a heap to add except that Jeffo looks bigger and stronger than last year. He is a curious body shape, almost hunched making me wonder how tall he would be with a few Alexander technique classes. The most important thing I wanted to make was that he marks out in front of himself with fully extended arms which I love.

next years draft is looking good for the Dees

Love Lily as a person (based on what I see of her in the media) and of course the grandad connection is great but i have often thought that apart from her desperation she lacks really top line skills. If she goes we get a great early pick and if she stays she is a one club player. On another note I saw something in the media about Tayla Harris looking to move on. I really rate her and would be disappointed if she were to move on. She makes us better when she is playing

Looking at his highlights his nickname should definitely be the A-Train

How lucky are we at Demonland to have this sort of train ing coverage. Thanks to all contributors from my hot office in Preston

Even Tic Tocs arent what they used to be!

i like sunday arvo matches...

But to be fair, no one was saying that at the time. Elite outside ball user to complement the inside grunt of JV from memory. The 2012 draft was full of hits and misses wasn'nt it. Whitfield went number 1 and then after that apart from Grundie at late teens not much at all

It is where the Women were for their second last game. I guess it depends on when this was posted

Apparently Barassi wants out!!

Would like him but he is not the gorilla we crave

Not sure if this has been said but by joingoes the guy is good at selecting blame after a loss. He did it against us in 21 and has blamed Covid again last night. You lost mate, suck it up

Why would any Melbourne supporter question how good a win it was. We were awesome!

This! "Dagnabbit" a word that should be used more often!!

Love reading some excellent posts from the first page of this thread. Keyser soze's possibly did not age well but the rest were on the money!

Have heard great things about him which are reinforced by the highlight package. Yes please

The club sent an email regarding this a week or so ago. They advised that they were legally required to provide members email details.

Thanks Walking, I am not a prolific poster but am most definitely an avid consumer of your training reports. You paint a wonderful picture without any pretentions to knowing what is going on inside the club. This to me is what makes your posts so special. Enjoy the Men's offseason and revel in the Women's!!

Good statement speech from GL. Very impassioned but in a coherent and comprehensive manner. I loved the comment about offering Larkey 1.5m!! Very funny but very pointed

Thanks WCW...have our training reports ever been more wholesome??

May not be allowed to fly at the moment

A friend of mine does! They would be about the same age I reckon! Must have been the Jayden of its day namewise

He was rucking at the first game I attended in 1970.
