The minute's silence was so impressive and very fitting. What a great way to acknowledge our demon legend Dr Don Cordner. I don't recall this being done before .

Yeah I thought it was very respectful.

I also like what I have seen them do in English soccer now and then to respect players and officials who have passed away, rather than a minute of silence, they have a minute of applause and cheering. Seems a fitting tribute to a sporting champion.

But yeah, the minute silence yesterday was great and fully deserved.

Just another reason why people like Wayne Jackson should just crawl away and keep their rubbish opinions to themselves.

The minute silence a great mark of respect and brings the spotlight on how much the people of our great club have contributed to this great game and stadium.

Troy Broadbridge also had minute's silence.... how very sad was that day !!

i thought it was fantastic before the game. we don't have many premiership captains left standing, for our club players like don are amongst the greatest.

i was dissapointed that the minute was so short, it perhaps should have been called a 'moments silence'.

i thought the minutes silence was extremely short as well! What amazed me was the amount of respect that was shown, i didn't hear one child talk, one cough, one fool start cheering or anything. All we heard was pure silence from 30,000 people, it was special.

I'm so disappointed I missed this! I was coaching and the game finished about 30 minutes later than it should have, so I rushed there and did well to only miss the first two minutes, but unfortunately I missed this. I didn't even know it'd happened.:( Very glad they did it though. Pity there wasn't a crowd in excess of 40,000 to participate in it.:(

I agree with the moments silence, rather than a minutes silence as was announced. It lasted a good 25-30 seconds (maximum).

It was the reason we support this great club & why it shall rise again soon.. Built on Tradition. All these new clubs that the AFL has formed or is forming, will never understand

where the MFC has come from.

Also great to see the Doggie's supporters paying due respect to Dr. Don on Saturday.

They were very respectful, probably remembering the late Teddy Whitten and what a legend of their club he was and how significant it is to honour your own.

The minute's silence lasted 30 seconds to the dot btw.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
