Old..Ive long suspected that once we got the sniff that all was not quite kosher with the over-hyped one that MFC played a little game. It could have ended like the Puppies..or it could end how it did, with much greater reward.

Weve all been over the rest countless times. Yes we are much relieved to have him gone. Im not so sure the rest wasnt without some orchestration ;)

I have had similar thoughts. Once they put $600,000 a year on him which was outbid the AFL was between a rock and a hard place in terms of compensation. Smelt like the MFC knew he was gone and plan was to maximise. I too am very glad he is gone.

I have a feeling old55 that they actually did us a favour.

If we had kept him we would not have been able to get Clark.

The situation is really only half a season old but Clark gave us way more for half a year than Scully gave us in two years and GWS in a whole season.

The $cully situation also forced us to look at our whole recruiting structure and set up. It's a big win for us how its turned out,

I dont agree with much that you do say - but you are on the money with this one. All kudos must go to the head conductor.

Still laughing at old55's reply of "Scully"...

You've made hangon007's day, old55...

May day was "made" long ago - when we secured the 2 first round picks from GWS (AFL) we just had to wait 12 months to enjoy it - Im going to enjoy this trade & drafting period. I am a patient man - I am a Demons supporter after all.

It is fun watching Sheeds and Co squirming isnt it !! lol :)

I wonder if its yet occured to the Martian Seagull himself that money doesnt buy everything !!!

In fact sometimes it doesn't buy much at all ^_^

I could not care less about GWS - a fake team built on cheating & bs - they stand for nothing - even their name is fake - what the hell is a GWS - can't see it on any map I've looked at - the rats will soon depart leaving Tommy $ and his $illy old man $tranded

No chance it will be there in 20 years time.

Vlad and the boys will keep pouring in money and changing rules until they are succesfull.

There is a lot better chance the MFc will fold before them IMHO

They will find it harder than most to retain their list. The place is a dump, and they will never build a meaningful base. Nonne cares ! Good $ after bad IMHO - Vlad notwithstanding. History is littered with dead teams from out there - NBL, ASL come immediately to mind. NRL & A League heartland.

Please muppets and newspaper boys ignore - Rumours are now out one of the clubs might try and bring the first battle forward by a year - by targeting a large Ruckman with a bit of inside info. Hope its just his manager pumping up his price and forcing GWS to use more salary cap space.

    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
