This is going to be a tough one for track watchers because according to the mfc site, “the session on Friday, 15 February has been moved behind closed doors.”

The question is whether there are any Demonlanders who are our flies on walls.

Otherwise, the next open session at Gosch's Paddock will be held on Wednesday, 20 February (9.30am)

    I wonder if behind closed doors means inside/another venue away from prying eyes or don't come and spy on our super secret game plan being practiced on an open field.

    Interesting. Monday 18th was also previously listed as an open session but has now been replaced by Wednesday 20th.

    Good, might be fine tuning our plan of attack for the big scratch match next week. Give the enemy nothing.

    What is has meant in last couple of years is an enclosed venue, obviously games are coming close, we want to do some setups

    On that note,  it was amusing to see a Norths guy wandering around on Tuesdsy checking all the faces under caps or hoodies

    Now that's a bannable offence. ?

    Not if he asks them questions about themselves, provides his views, gets Pendles, Sidebottom and Beams shirty about being asked and stirs up the Pies faithful on their Colliwobbles Board! ?

    For that he would get the Medal of Bravery (BM).

    We can't ban Saty for going to watch Collingwood train. He went along, stood by the fence watching their match simulation and bingo, right in front of him De Goey goes down with a leg injury. He should go and watch Collingwood every day of the week. He's their un lucky charm !!

    Well training at Casey is about as closed door as you can get! I mean does anyone actually live out there?

    Certainly a long way for you to ride from Fitzroyalty on your fixy Lekker, Earl

    If you watch the clip, I may be in background, it was about 15 metres away

    What happened @Satyriconhome?

    Impact injury or collision or something else?

    Nah, the normal innocuous training injury, just seemed to get the landing wrong in a marking contest, had looked really good uptil then

    A mate just told me that he reckons .... '....closed doors to teach all the backs how to smack Cox, all the mids how to smack Grundy, and all forwards how to outnumber and confuse the Filth defenders under the new positioning rules...' And that was just the pre=season 'friendly' match.

    I hope they didn't waste too much time on Grundy, he might not be playing, wasn't there yesterday

    Thanks for that, Saty. The descent of an ease of approaching trepidation at any gradient is a welcome thing. If he does play, Gawny need not bother to upset him, I am sure Preuss will flatten him at some point in a contest.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
