  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

So lots of running, kicking, marking etc

Just a note, Demonland has permission to use my Insta photos, nobody else does, so if you want to use, ask my permission, otherwise they won't be on Demonland either

Will do a bit of 'reporting' later

Would appreciate a report of an up to date rehab group. Cheers.

This fella has genuinely lost the plot.

Someone should start a second training thread so that posters can share some thoughts and insights that won't be censored by Saty. 

These threads have genuinely turned into some sort of exclusive ownership. 

Why don't you go to training to see for yourself what is going on, no one is forcing you to read Saty's posts. For supporters like myself who don't live in Melbourne all the training reports are appreciated.

Agreed and I don’t see why anyone would be upset at Saty asking people not to use his photos without permission

Saty baits people. STMJ has swallowed the hook and can't cough it up. We can't expect to agree with everyone here so we should accept the differences. If you don't like them block them, constant bitching is tiresome. Thanks to all those that report on training, I expect you to have biases we all have them. The best bias is we are Melbourne supporters.

Yes your right. Everyone has permission to quote other posts and photos, would be a total disaster otherwise. Looking forward to the training reports. Any announcement on captaincy yet? Co-captains again i would expect.

I think what Saty refers to is not having permission to use his photos in other venues. If there is a saty photo in a post you are allowed to quote that post on Demonland. I guess he doesn't want you coping his photos and using them somewhere else.

As to baiting, if you are a serial baiter you will get a holiday, just ask stevethemanjordan. This goes to Saty as well.

Let's keep on topic.

Why does every training thread end up in a shitfight? Surely everyone is happy to find out what is happening at training without resorting to that rubbish? 

Personally I think every snippet is great.

Cant wait for R1 so that we can talk about the real things that matter ?

Glad that the boys have had 2 wet weather training sessions on a row. Gets them ready for season proper

It is an area we have been not so flash in of late. Would be good to get that one down. Global warming says hi.

Any updates Saty?  For the small minority of posters who seem to take exception at your opinions, there are a lot more mostly silent readers who really appreciate the training updates you provide and don't take exception to your views.

+10000

It's the same tiresome bores that take umbrage with Saty.

I'm bound to a desk and I love the training reports and can filter out the fugazi.

Being up in Qld I also welcome ALL training reports including Saty's and expect them to continue. We must remember everyone has an opinion which MUST be respected even if you do not agree.

Agree 100% with this. The silent majority love your updates @Satyriconhome.

Does every training thread have to end up being about Saty? The bloke baits people and thrives within the ensuing attention. These threads are almost unreadable once he does his thing. Block him and move on. 

I found two of my photos unattributed on another forum, hence my post, Internet etiquette

I don't need the attention Ethan, I just find a small group of posters on here insufferable blowhards, it's not me, as you can see,  who starts this, on this occasion using a lack of comprehension the reason to launch

Anyway back on topic, it was a lovely sunny morning at Goschs, I wish

Even with the atrocious weather,  it was a really good solid session, with lots of emphasis on ball movement in the drills

On the rehab side it was just Tim Smith, Melksham and Lever, with Hibberd, Jetta, Baker and Viney doing a couple things in rehab as well, but also some main group drills

Jones and KK were inside, don't blame them

Lever was kicking and jumping at the ball, so progressing nice

Session finshed with a very willing tackling session, we have a specialist coach for this as well now

Can someone pass a training comment about OMAC. I think he is a key to our backline despite a surfeit of talent now down there. Is he training well ?

Yes, but you jinxed him?? gave his head a good belt on the ground during the tackling drill,  left looking a bit worse for wear, uptil then was really good, received praise a couple of times for his shot selection during ball movementt drills

The small forward competition is on, during the tackling drill Garlett, Spargo, Bedford, Corey Wagner and JKH all trying to outdo each other which can only benefit the team

Forgot Chandler, edit

Walked back to AAMI with James Harmes, had a laugh comparing the skinny blonde kid with the toothy smile from 5 years ago to the man I was walking next to now, he said he is the fittest he has ever been and is one solid unit

Oliver completed the whole session with the main group

Hi

I would be interested to hear from the regulars how they think training and in particular the use of training aids has developed over recent years.

Do for example they use the ball shooter that they were using for one of the entertainment comps at the quarter breaks etc.

Thanks

Most of the advances are more on the technological side, ie drones, body cams, advanced gps etc

And specialist coaches, like boxing, grappling/tackling and the runner pre Xmas to get the miles into the rehabbers

I asked about the ball shooter after somebody mentioned pre Xmas

Answer 'the players kick the ball'

So just to recap the rehabbers are: Jones, Viney, Melksham, Jetta, Hibberd, May, Lever, Kolodjashnij, Baker & T Smith.

Is Hibberd new to the rehab group. Any idea what his ailment is?

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
