We're on our way people's. The direction of choices so far taken both prior to the circus and now during it sown we've learnt,as a club,the mistakes not to repeat.

We seem far more savvy, more attuned to what you need on a list to create a performing-winning team. We've made the wrong decisions at times in the past but worse repeated them. Our list is riddled with these errors.

It won't be nearly so disadvantaged come the end of the draft. I'm sure I'm not the only one to observe we've turned a corner now.

Kudos to the current regime. I'm not silly enough to think every pick and trade will be perfect but I sense the margin for error is greatly reduced . This is all the result of some serious soul searching at the MFC and some hard admissions of not only where we were but where we weren't !!

There's been wholesale change..... At long last

Often Ive gone into the new season hopeful and expectant. 2013 I'll be genuinely confident we can be actually competitive. Success will follow.

BB, have you been smoking the banana skins?

That obvious ?

The last week I think will be a bit crazy. When the clubs are dealt their fa compo picks to use for trading.

Think things will quieten down over the next 2 weeks, until the final couple of days of trading.

i agree. Be like a normal trade period now. Nothing nothing rumour nothing then all hell brsaks loose during the final hours.

Tis all Mexican standoff now i think :)

There can be no doubt that the journos read the boards. Emma Quayle alluded to it in her article and basically summed the Demonland feeling as a guage for the average MFC supporter.

Not only the Journos i suspect but the hacks also.

another draft day ends and we got nothing. WTF is going on

A disgrace is the only word that comes to mind dc.

If it was not for the fact we are 119 not out I would be deeply depressed.

I didn't see her write an article about the increasing number of schizophrenic, neurotic, psychotic Melbourne members?

She must have been reading a different forum, because the only thing you gauge by reading Demonland is insanity.

I'd answer you, but they take away my computer at night.

Neeld: We will manage Hogans expectations a bit better than we handled Watts.

I guess that rules out a Queens Birthday debut for Hogan in 2014.

I am surprised we have not heard of any enquiries about Petterd.

I am not Redleg I think it is showing his worth in 2012.

I suspect there maybe a chance if he is simply delisted by the Dees and someone takes a chance for no outlay

Or perhaps via the draft.

Something may pop up at the end of the trade period but I doubt it.

If you cannot get a game as a forward at the MFC in 2012 you must be in very poor form.

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
