I'm pretty sure Peter K would gladly throw his hand up, plus his photos are always great!

Please don't.

What makes me laugh is that after a loss, the club and website basically go into lockdown.

On Saturday for example, all the facebook feed could manage is a link to the "play by play" page on the official site.

In fact, the club didn't even mention that the team lost.

First there was this post: https://www.facebook.com/MELBOURNEfc/photos/a.414317157316.209227.285839797316/10153297419662317/?type=1

And then this one, a prompt 60 minutes after the loss: https://www.facebook.com/MELBOURNEfc/posts/10153297646372317

I get that it's "damage control", but it's a pretty poor effort in terms of informing your fans how the team is travelling.

Compare this to Brisbane's page, which actually keeps the fan engaged and informed throughout the match. The lost by 80 points: https://www.facebook.com/BrisbaneLions?fref=ts

And Carlton: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialCarltonFC?fref=ts

My number one pet hate about the site's coverage is when they do the "Past record doesn't matter" article.

I've seen it about 5 times this year. Obviously Burgs is asking the question, "What does the playing group make of its recent poor record against this week's opposition?" And the answer is always the same: "We don't talk about it."

Ah Ha! BURGS is the spectre!

We've been looking in the wrong place! It's not the players, we should get rid of Burgs! He keeps reminding the players, publicly, about how [censored] they are.

Get on it Roos.

We really are a long way behind most other clubs in the media stakes. I think the only player we had a debut reaction video for was vandenBerg.

    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
