I'm a little worried about Demonland. It's always been an emotional roller-coaster ride with an eclectic group of passionate posters but it seems the sniping and abuse is at an all time high.

We need to remember we're on the same side.

I'm proposing a pre-season camp.

Over the next week I'd like to see everyone take a little trip over to bigfooty. I'd like to see everybody rally together to take on all comers. I'd like to see us band together to show the footyballing world that we are indeed as feral as Caroline Wilson would have her readers believe. I'd like to see BH and TimD fight the same battle. I'd like to see threads coming to a close because opposition supporters feel outnumbered and out-argued.

Pre-season camp sign on is below:

Sorry to nitpick but Wilson didn't call us "feral".

The word was "rabid".

By the looks of him he'll pitch a tent wherever and whenever he likes...

Not sure about the location of the camp, but I'm all for the "goodvibes".

I'm as guilty as the next bloke of having a crack, despite many efforts to turn it around. The only chance of it working is if we all got on the same page at the same time. Usually the "leaf turners" get shot down by the "worn outs" and the cycle continues. We all know following the Dees will probably never be a rosegarden, at least anytime soon, but we could make an effort to minimize the pricks.

Don't worry Dandee. While I have been known to do a bit of camping in the past, the good life in Romsey has softened me up - so to speak. Anyway it would have to be a 5 star tent - spa, steamroom, massage etc.

Is this an olive branch Stuie? Do you really love me?

Haha we have a passionate relationship BBO, let's just say that. Of course, we could make olive oil with that branch... hmmmm...

Jeezus Stuie settle down. I'm having a bit of a joke here. FFS I didn't to provide an opportunity for some of your unhealthy and repressed desires to bubble up.

Geeze, with Stuie going all mushie and on the prowl, and Rangey back with manners and reason, one might think that the heavy hand of management has straightened the joint out. Or is it just the hot weather frying a few brains?

Demonland, please accept my apology for starting this thread. Clearly I didn't think this through. The BBO/stuie stuff was not quite what I had in mind. I know there's plenty of kids on this site and they didn't need to read the last few posts. Put simply, I fear for the children.

I'm glad the threat of bigfooty seems to have done the trick and the behaviour of posters today seems to have been pretty good!

Head over to the Saints NAB Cup thread and disabuse yourself of that notion.

Gloves are off over there.

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
