  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Is there another Reiwoldt that we don't know about? I know A Lockett (Anthony, aka Tony), but not sure who that A Reiwoldt is. If he's as good as either Jack or NIck, he'll be worth looking at.

You know what the say about sarcasm billy!

It is a dying art in the modern age.....actually I think Jesse will be a cross between Paul and Hulk....crush opponents but make them laugh while he is doing it

You are probably right subtlety is a lost ability in the world of Facebook and Tweeter

When Muggleton was doing the tackling drill, he would stop and berate if not done properly pointed out a couple ot times and named players......

It's great that he knows their names - implies that this isn't the first time he's worked with them. This is something they need to do over & over.

IIRC, after they worked with the Storm's guy their tackling improved ... for a week or two.

Thanks to the locals for these training reports. It keeps my MFC-blood-levels up durng the off-season. Love the descriptions of the intense training this year & Jesse Hogan.

I am reminded of a quote that I heard from an NFL player this week, "I don't expect results, I expect effort. The results will look after themselves". It could be the motto for MFC in 2013, me thinks.

That has to be a misquote.

Surely it must be " You should expect results after you put in the effort"?

Reiwoldt family seem prolific breeders down here in Tassie. Have watched at least 3 over the last few years at U10-U15 level - all stood out (if only for being tall and pale skinned)

I was there and took some photos, will post a bit more later, spoke to Jesse Hogan, cool kid, lookin fwd already to playing in the VFL, target weight for him to play at 104KG, so just a medium sized fwd then

Jeeezus! That's a big load for a teenage frame to take.

I don't think my little car can take a 104kg load!

What's wrong with you people??

104kg would be Hogan's EVENTUAL target weight.

He'd never aim for that as an 18 year old.

Use your brains FFS...

I'm sure all those that have seen Hogan at training have noticed the strut he's got going. When you look at him you just think this guys got something about him. Kinda like a young Johno Brown or even a young Wayne Carey. I'm not saying he's going to be that good but he's got that confidence about him.

I have been putting reports

But this is what happened as far as I can remember

Warm up

Handball drill

Tackling drill

Bit more evasive work

Gut running

End to end in restricted area

End to end on full pitch

Warm down

I have only spoken to Jesse Hogan once and walked away super impressed

Having watched and played all three, with Rugby League (Storm) the days of one person tackling are long gone.

Rebels Union, this still happens in broken play and would be more beneficial to AFL.

Muggleton was actually showing them the technique on how to tackle, shoulders over feet etc. and if a player steps left (unless they are one of the freakishly talented indigenous players) will then go right, and vice versa, and even if they spin they will spin right....common sense but you do need to be told this.

It was all good especially when he immediately stopped it if somebody went arm waving.

Settle Gretle.

The post that originally mentioned this talked of him looking fwd to playing in the VFL next year and that his target weight was 104kg, all in the same sentence. It could be taken that may have been his target whilst playing VFL next year.

No need for poster abuse.

JM always needs to calm down but if this is abuse we need to be less sensitive.

Sorry rpfc, didn't realise that telling someone they have something wrong with their brain and anachronism swearing was perfectly fine. In which case, José is brain dead and can GAGF. But I digress, back to training reports...

If somebody can tell me how to post a pic here, not a link but to post, I can post one of the tackling pics....tried pasting but my wonderful computer laughed at me.........I am a real believer in the synopsis of the Terminator films

You need to upload your photos to a site such as Photobucket (that's what I use anyway) and then you paste a link to each photo when you click on the "Image" icon (small square button below the smiley face) when you post on the thread.

Imploring someone to use their brains, to think, should not be seen as unreasonable.

It's a silly jump to make, that Hogan would be carrying 104kg as an 18 year old, and a little bit of thought would prevent the handful of illogical posts.

HTFU.

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
