I will be easily recognisable, I will be in a rather nice lavender lycra bodysuit, complaining about the lack of toilet facilities, bad temperedly kicking the non-existent advertising signage around the fence, and whingeing non stop about Jack Watts and how he just doesn't seem to be trying at traiining

Looking forward to all the reports.

I wouldn't bother if I were you... the thread has already taken a turn for the worse, and it hasn't even officially started yet :-)

uh huh.

I only read the training reports for the weirdness these days.

I mean who cares about the training? What matters is potting Saty for being OCD and /or unhealthy obsessed.

[censored] 'em Saty. My grandmother spent a good 60 of her 90 years doing whatever it took to help 'her boys' of the MFC. If there was something to be done she was there to do it, and she did it with a smile and not expecting a thank you. All that mattered to her was that her beloved boys were supported so they could smash the other eleven pretenders to the throne.

At her funeral there was an all star cast of the 50's and 60's teams, and she was carried away with 'Grand Old Flag' playing.

The club needs people like you, Saty. Don't let the naysayers get you down.

Saty, I'm curious as to what the players call you at training? Is it Saty? TDI? Pete?

On a serious note...

I think we should start to more formally recognise Saty's efforts. As a poster earlier said, every footy club needs people like Saty involved, and while I know some of us take the pi$$, we do appreciate any news that he filters back.

It got me thinking how we could actually do something like this. When I started looking through some of Saty's training photos he posted on his Twitter account, as soon as I found a photo of the great man himself, I immediately thought of the word famous Vic Flowers (see below). Now, some of you may not know him by his correct name, however he is the leader of the Barmy Army (often referred to the name Jimmy, given his similar appearance to that of Jimmy Savile. If you've had a look at Saty's photos, we could have our very own Vic Flowers (that's not to say that you remind me of Jimmy Saville, Saty).

Given the amount of muscle we at Demonland can flex, could we somehow arrange it so that Saty become the official and spiritual leader of our Demon Army? Get him dressed up is some classic retro MFC gear, get a flag that's to the total maximum allowable size, and have him attend as many games as possible to pump the crowd up?

As we are hopefully starting to improve, and should win more games in the years to come, the Demon Army will continue to grow, and having an icon, similar to what Vic is to the Barmy Army, I think it would be great.

Hopefully this doesn't get too close to the stuff that CS used to implement (with much negativity from many on here).

Nb. Yes, I do have too much time on my hands.

Given that The Devil Inside already has a multitude of aliases such as Satyricon, Satyriconhome and Pete...and given he's admitted to being a pom and 62 years old...are you certain that he isn't also Vic Flowers?

Billy, actually Lynden Dunn calls me the old [censored], but as most of the others don't read Demonland, most call be Peter, if they actually know it, to Howie for instance everybody is "mate"

Actually this is rather sad, I actually asked one of the senior players why they don't read Demonland, I won't name him, they were advised not to as it was just full of negativity

I wonder why?

Might have something to do with the results over an eight year period.

Spot on. After a win this place turns senior players are all time greats and youngsters are future hall of famers. If players want to read something positive then we don't ask for much, just a few wins would do it!

I wouldn't advise them to read this site even when we are winning.

It's like social media, the players don't real time updates of what the fans think of them. There is no value for the players to get involved in a forum designed to dissect the club they play at and the players themselves.

They get the drift from those leaning over the fence in games anyway...

That is why I asked one of the senior players who is on Twitter, where they get [censored] as well, his answer was what I typed, I find it nteresting the few posters demanding wins and the negativity will stop, how simplistic, let me know where you all work and next time you [censored] up I can write something negative on social media

Saty.. it is a public forum. There WILL always be negativity in any sports forum you read whether they are winning or losing. There is always that one person who's never satisfied.

And if its not the negativity they cop on the twitter its the stalking and hassling they get from guys like you.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
