I remember being at that game, his third quarter was exceptional (capped off with tat mark and goal) and he was one of the main reasons we were able to break even in that quarter

When you take as many days off as he does for training are you surprised?

Geez he looks in ripping shape in that photo. Somebody put a man where a boy used to be. 

The two things I'm most excited about for 2016 are CP5 and Jack Trengove returning to the MCG.

You talking about the old guy in the back ground.

 If you reread your own paragraph in your post I responded to, I think you'll find most people would think that when you start by saying you don't rate him as highly as others and finish by referring to him as a solid accumulator, that you do not rate solid accumulators.  I'm glad you've clarified your view of solid accumulators. 

Others rate him much more highly than me.  I rate him as a solid accumulator.  That does not mean I do not rate solid accumulators.

I hope you're right about Trengove.

Gosh if ever I get to training I'm going to go as a young bloke incognito.... forgot his last name.

No matter how you perceive him I for one miss his training reports and contact with the players.

His hounding off this site by the selfish minority is a loss to all of us.  We all have difference interests and focuses when it comes to training reports and Saty provide a unique perspective.  It personally doesn't interest me what drills the players are doing but I don't berate posters for posting that information. 

He was a pain in the bum at times but there isn't a poster on this site who isn't now and again.  A sad loss.  I hope I can catch up with him on Friday and find out what's happening.  I'll be sure to keep it to myself to avoid upsetting some.

The training threads are much more enjoyable, and far easier to read now. No endless bickering while one bloke defends his pets beyond all reason.

 

Its great that he doesn't post any more. He hounded himself off the site.

He looks like bloody superman. A terrific player who reads the play so well. I'm positive they will play him as an inside mid, which is where he has always been best suited.

If he comes back it will be like getting a free top ten draft pick (to offset the ones we have lost)

The reason why Saty's reports were better than the one's this pre-season was that Saty actually spoke to players and was then able to relay the inside word to us.

For example I remember him providing useful updates on Vince and Howe's hamstring injuries after talking to them.

Hands down the best contributor to the forum I've seen, and that isn't to downplay the Tassie guys (Among others) training reports - they are ALL brilliant and appreciated.

I appreciate training reports - and 666 pics - more than anything else. The rest is dribble, just filling in time to kick off.

But Saty is still the mayor of Demonland IMO.

I don't understand this. We all knew of his "unique" style. Why not just take note of the stuff that was of interest ( and yes there was some interesting titbits in his reports regarding some training and some debuts that were imminent) and ignore the stuff you didn't like.

What I found unfair is that many did not debate with him on contentious football/player issues - I thought he was demeaned mainly because of his "fanboy" style. Whilst I was not a big the fluffy stuff I just ignored those parts and took interest in things I found relevant.

No...a bloke who went regularly to training and took the time to post was hounded off this site.

Lol.

He was the main offender at berating and belittling other posters opinions.

Training threads have never been better since he brought the disdain upon himself and stopped contributing.

He's got a Twitter account for those who miss his inane commentary of the players.

Satyr was inside the club walls in 2013 but refused to see what was unfolding around him. If anybody mentioned anything along those lines he went into attack mode. 

A perfect stooge for our previous board and CEO. It wouldn't suprise me at all if they slipped him the "odd tip" to divert attention. 

His training reports inflated his ego ( How many players did i speak to today...)

his actual observations of individual players skills and improvements were quite often just plain wrong. 

Other posters have given brilliant training reports that are just that...

as Faulty said...he kicked himself off this board...

right up there with Dr. Who...

Even when he's not here, his very name is still causing dissension. 

His defending the indefensible was just unbearable, but he was always at training and was often the only provider of training reports.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
