I just got back from the training. I stayed until about 3pm and enjoyed myself but I have to admit it was a messy and clumsy PR exercise. Step 1. Heavily promote 35K members by round 1 Step 2. Promo

I think it's perfectly reasonable to be P'D off by todays efforts. Waiting around for an hour and half for your team to turn up is just poor public relations. In a highly competitive market like the A

I can't help but link this to the Great Membership Drive and the clubs stated goal of breaking their membership record. How many of those families who sat around for an hour waiting and then left aga

Can't wait, first training session ever and bringing the kids. Glad the club moved the start time to 12, it would have been too hard to get the kids to the normal 9:00.

According to twitter

At 9am: we were having an open training at 12

At 10am: we are having an open training at 1pm with a bbq and coffee from 12

Do I demand too much suggesting no changes on the day of a members event???

At 11am: we will be having open training at 2pm with stale donuts and coffee at 1pm.

At 12pm: we will be having a closed training session at 9am with free pickings from the dumpster at AAMI Park.

At 1pm: the training session will be cancelled and any supporter attempting to gain access will be jabbed with a sharp stick.

I just got here, players aren't out yet but there's a good crowd (and a big line for the snags!).

Poor Howie is getting chased by a group of six-year-olds as he's running laps. Paying the price for being the first to show up

Training was actually moved to 1pm. Only tweeted through Demon Army about 11am. Not a good thing to do from the club, I know the training/conditioning etc of the players should no 1 priority but when you advertise for a family training day it's not a good look to change things like this at the last minute.

Anyway, that's my labour day winge.

We clearly have a lot of work to do in this area. Surely it can't be that hard.

Still no team. Can't even make the delayed start time! I have watched an hour of the Vince and Howe show so far.

Still only Howe and Vince here.

I can understand why some people would be frustrated - it shouldn't be too hard to advertise a time and stick to it without a late change and further delays. Hopefully players start showing up soon, or more people will start to leave.

It's not a whinge at all.

It's pathetic by the club, people have kids to organize and places to be & not everyone can check social media 100% of the time for updates, especially when the updated comes through 1 hour before the advertised time.

Lots of family's have already left without seeing a player.

Sitting here waiting for the team to turn up, can't help but think that this club really does treat it's supporters with a degree of contempt. Waiting for well over an hour now.

I've given up, my highlights: seeing the kids running along side Howe and the 2 snags I had.

Can't even get on the track for a revised start time. Nice big waste of time.

By all accounts here a shocking treatment of supporters once again from the MFC. Glad I didn't rush down in my lunch break for a half hour.

Shocking effort by the club.

While the club will say it has improved off field this is by far the biggest downfall in the way it interacts with its supporter base.

First the intra club and now this. Not good enough from a professional organization.

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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
