The Demonland/Demonology Sponsorship group announces its first official function for the year - an informal get together at the Mount View Hotel (once owned by the great Ronald Dale Barassi) 70 Bridge Rd, Richmond, VIC 3121 on a date to be advised (probably before the Freo game).

The event includes:

• Introduction to our 2009 Sponsorship of Barry Prendergast (club recruiting officer);

• Panel including RudeBoy (mentor and Victorian host to Liam Jurrah and one of Australia's foremost exponents of ska music),

Whispering Jack (Dylan fan) and Redleg (Doobie Brothers fanatic but please don't hold that against him) - discussion: Liam Jurrah's

journey from Yuendumu to the MCG; drafting for the future at the MFC after the recent Under 18 National Championships and a match

preview of Melbourne v Port Adelaide.

And the good news is that the function is FREE (but you pay for your food and drink)

I just want to make it clear that Barry Prendergast won't be at this function but we will give a brief resume of how our sponsorship of him will work and about the exciting function we'll be having with Barry later in the year.

All are invited - this is your chance to put a face to the names and the walk afterwards to the G is short and invigorating ... see you there.

I'll be there! I'll actually be there!

I'm chipping away at this 'distance' part. It'll be great to actually get along to an event.

See you there.

Hi - there's been a late change. One of our panelists is unable to attend, so we are not going ahead with the event this week. At this stage it is proposed to have the event on Sunday 16 August, before the Freo game.

More details to follow, but at least there is more time for people to organise themselves for the day.

JUST BUMPING THIS UP AS A REMINDER

The function is a get together of Demonlanders and Demonologists before Sunday's game - all are welcome and it's free!

Sounds like a good idea for everyone to catch up before the last home game we can possibly win this year.

Thanks for inviting me to meet with a number of Demon supporters and chat about my connection with Liam Jurrah. Seems like he had another good day at the office as well. Believe me, next year when he's really fit and has another 5 ks of muscle, he will be scary. Cheers.

And thanks for coming and enlightening us not only on Liam's journey but on the work being done by the Industrial Magpies in the area of bringing about reconciliation in this country. Time has prevented me from preparing a report on the meeting but I'll try to weave some of the stories in a future article. As for LJ, his game was sensational and I can't wait to see him when he has had his first pre season with the Dees.

I fulfilled my promise by downloading a Strange Tenant's sone from Itunes. I'm now the proud possessor of "Calling all Rudeboys" - the song is very catchy but you'd never forget the lyrics when performing the song would you?

And on a further note ... we followed up yet another Demonland/Demonology function with a win at the MCG. The way things are going we might have to have 10 or 11 functions next year :rolleyes: and a special long one before the Collingwood game.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
