My mate plays for Saints. Said the plan during the week is Gilbert to Hogan, Dempster to Watts. Might have to slap some $$$ on Hoges for most goals

His contract tells a different storey. He's a good player, so he will play as long as he wants, would just rather play local football with his mates away from the pressure

Probably the most interesting little run of posts I've ever read on Demonland...

So, a season and a half after we probably expected it, Gus & his good mate, Petracca will FINALLY get to run out together in the big time.  No doubt, they will both be pumped! They now need t

Not sure why people bang on about fresh legs when we've come off a longer than usual break. Eight days. We're a full day ahead of St Kilda in regards to recovery and their game was a physical, pi

Can't wait for this match. We're a better side, but we're competing against Etihad as much as St Kilda. Come on MFC, between last year and this years games, we have had more than enough practice

It doesn't surprise me. Who really enjoys their job? Even when you get a job doing something you enjoy, eventually it morphs into something you hate.

That's a fairly fatalist view of life!

I have a mate who plays for St Kilda too. He said that Montagna was playing in the ruck, Reiwoldt is having the day off to go house hunting (so won't be playing) and they will be playing a 9 man forward line!!! Oh yeah, and Jack Steven will be lining up on Hogan.

After the Bombers game (We picked underdone players, we'll learn from it), after the Saints game (We picked the wrong players for the ground, we'll learn from it), after the Bulldogs game (In hindsight another tall would have been good), After the Port game (I've got to take responsibility for not making more changes for this week. We spoke about it at match committee).

There's 4 examples.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
