I observed our training session today, and was quite impressed with what I saw. The boys looked very tuned in to what they were doing and were moving quite freely. Get those rugby posts down though.

Mind you, I only caught 5 seconds of it from a train going past Richmond

I was expecting to see us training on the news. Maybe the media were told to go away. Unless they are waiting for Dawes and the other new recruits to join in then they will be down there.

What's more tiresome than hearing that the boys are flying, hardest training ever etc...?

Sarcastic jokes about the boys are flying etc...

We get it, it gets said every year... so do your repetitive jokes.

Our tortured souls deserve comic relief.

If they send me one, I hope it includes an air fare :-)

Hit your kick and come down-- I will arrange pick up at airport.

Already the hardest preseason ever. The boys are bigger, better, faster than ever.

Angry,

The cliche to be used is FFS= not the one we at Demonland normally use, but Fitter, Faster, Stronger

Wish I had a kick to hit :-)

Will hopefully get down there with youngest son in tow for the first game of the season... want him to witness at least one win, to maintain his enthusiasm.

I've been flat chat at work preparing for a week's break so I've been out of the loop for the last day or two but would like to thank those who reported, well mainly Demon Destruction.

Looking forward to Thursday and reports on the open training session by which time I'll probably be sitting on some beach and reading the reports. Much more interesting than some of the old stuff coming out of the Age.

Anyone get to training today?

I am keen to hear training reports. I would expect it to get quite grueling

Apparently Mark Neeld took out the strap. (Big Bertha) The Cuts!!!

I can't wait for the training reports! i particularly love Bhima and Freak's although all contributions are great. Hoping to get down to a few myself this year. Go Dees

Don't forget maldonboy38. He's usually spot on with his training reports too!

Whoops sorry Jack, absolutely Maldonboy is brilliant, this has been my favourite time of year the last 5 years, a little sad, but hey, at least its come around again.

    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

    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
