POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs West Coast
Kennedy 4 disposals. I reckon that was VERY QUIET not relatively quiet.

Jack Viney for Captain
No to captaincy if that is the footy he can produce without responsibility. Max is our captain.

GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs West Coast
Its 31 degrees in Perth at the moment. Easterly blowing with a little bit of cool air now and again. Not too uncomfortable and cooler by the river.

IT’S OVER FOR NOW
What will clubs do now? Will they continue to train in an extended pre season? At least it gives plenty of time for Harley and Aaron to get fully fit and over their injuries.

POSSIBLE INTERSTATE TRAVEL BAN FOR SPORTING TEAMS
I had a more detailed article today but looks like a moderator has deleted it for some reason, I suggested a 10 team VFL competition of 18 rounds with each team playing each other twice one at home and one away. Very fair system and plenty of footy for Victorian fans. Hopefully my original item can be reinstated.

Coronavirus: AFL & MFC
The government is considering the possible ban on interstate travel for sporting teams. What a delightful thought. For this season a VFL competition of the 10 Victorian teams. 18 rounds playing each other twice one home and one away. How fair is that? Bring it on! A Final 4 with finals as they were in the good old days. First V Second Double chance, Third V Fourth loser out. (Semi Finals) Loser of !V2 plays winner of 3V4 (Preliminary Final) Winner of Preliminary Final plays winner of ! v2 semi Final. GRAND FINAL. 3 Finals rounds giving a total of 21 rounds for the season. NB This explanation of finals system is for the very new and younger Demonlanders. Sorry to bore all the older posters. Interstate teams could play each other 5 times in their own state just to give the locals a bit of footy.

Demon women into the Preliminary Final
WELL DONE LILY MITHEN. Granddad Laurie, Melbourne Champion, must be feeling so proud at the moment. And you should feel ever so proud too. Boys reaction shows their true love of the red and the blue.

To Hell & Back Episode 4
What a reaction from the players. Harley has settled in so well. He is a very humble and popular young man.

TEAMS: MS01 vs Adelaide
What is the problem with Mitch Brown? He played some good games at Essendon and by all reports is training well. You know how a change of club can do wonders. We will see if your criticism comes to fruition,

Jeff Garlett in 2020
Gaining Harley Bennell to the club made me think what Jeffy is doing. Is he back in Perth and playing some sort of football? Does anyone know of his movements?

Memorable Kickers
Stuart Spencer's long raking drop kicks are firmly in my mind.

Melbourne - Prahran connection
Bob McKenzie also went to Prahran Tech strengthening his affiliations with Prahran, Or 'Pran' as former Australian cricketer Ian Johnson pronounced it.

Sorry my good friend who gave me some free tickets a few years back. I can't help you with your question/. I haven't been to a Western Demons event for a long time. Yes, I am a little ashamed to admit that. Cheers, Ethan.

On our recruits " Luke Jackson, a handy ruckman who can kick goals, Kossie Pickett, a nippy player who can also kick goals and Trent Rivers." Look out for Kossie Trent!

If a cricket team were a football team
When I saw this title I immediately wished we could have the same rate of success as the Melbourne Demons CRICKET CLUB. On top of current ladder at present. Oh for the footy team to have the same success. Maybe its going to happen and soon!

When Will It End
So by using the word woman instead of girl clears me of being sexist? Thank you. How pedantic you are. No more English lessons please.
-
When Will It End
So by stating that girls should be allowed to be feminine is being sexist? Guys like to be masculine too. What a strange concept of the word sexist you have. Here am I defending girls rights and you are calling me sexist.

When Will It End
And so princesses are princes, duchesses are dukes etc etc? Or is it princess Harry these days?
-
When Will It End
And we have "batters" in cricket now and actresses are now 'actors'. The stupidity goes on. Do the girls really have problems with their gender that they want to given a masculine role? I don't think so.

Demons running hills
Only Two games actually. The Cardiff Commonwealth Games (two gold medals) and the Rome Olympic Games. Gold in the 1500 metres. I assume either of two things. You are only very young and don't remember the Great runner or you are just trying to be clever. I opt for the latter. Am I right? Remember this was a discussion on fitness and conditioning and not football prowess. And Mr Elliot was oh so fit. Cheers, mate.

Hopefully they will do some sessions at Portsea and those wicked sand dunes. Didn't do Herb Elliot any harm.
