Thank you Satyricon.

I remember the time MFC were preparing for our preliminary game and there you were in the inner circles of the club at the last Gosch's paddock run.

Meaning, the club absolutely trust you, your social skills and keeping confidentiality.

I find you are generous with your time and dedicated to our cause.

As I read the forums, you are more than happy to respond to questions about the team and in-fact encourage our involvement.

I believe you would get to a 4.30am training if it was scheduled.

You make it to most trainings even in inclement weather conditions.

That droll wit and sarcasm are great. Your pics, summations and most post are needed and appreciated. As are your insights and inside information.

Thank you again for your efforts, posts and follow-ups.

    Maybe he does get there at 4:30am, would explain the wizened look.

    Beautifully worded @kev martin. Nice to see recognition for Saty’s considerable efforts.

    Thank you Kev.  Demonland would be a better place if we all respected the views of others, regardless of whether we agreed with them or not.  As an 'interstster' who can't get to training, I value your training reports and Saty's equally.  I love them both!

    I haven't been here for a week.  Has Saty been copping it and, thus, this thread is born, or was Kev paid to do it?

    Bring on Round 1.

    Let's face it, we're all pathetic losers for being on this site at any time, let alone in the offseason.

    Hostility towards Saty and Kev is simply a projection of the dissatisfaction that comes from knowing you shouldn't care about the offseason combined with the awareness that you care enough to read a website but not enough to visit in person.

    They do, and so they're better losers than all of us combined.

    Go Dees (at all times, but especially in the parts of the year when the games are being played)!

    Paid.

    Actually I'm off overseas in a couple of weeks and thought I'd encourage the most regular track watcher and his posts.

    Your leave from Demonland has been denied. 

    I just love training reports especially at this time of year. 

    I'm out for 6-7 months.

    Not exactly long service leave but I'll take it when I can get it.

    See you after the bye.

    Thanks @kev martin  will miss your excellent reports

    I just get bored with the small minority on here who want to turn every thread into a pissing contest

    I post on this board for the reason you do, to keep posters, who unlike you and me, can't get to training or meetings etc

    Unfortunately it means having to put up with the minority, what I do find so amusing is their inability to put me on ignore or block, thought that would be the ideal solution, to rid them of the angst I obviously cause them

    I really like Saty's reports and pics. 

    And those of @Earl Hood@Big Kev@DeeSpencerand all other folk whose names I don't recall, who go to training and report back.  Especially in the off-season when there is little demon related news or first hand info.

    Thanks one and all

    ...my standard mid season kind of holiday!!

    Funny RG my wife often says to me ( half joking )" why do still follow that mob surely after half century you can see the theme"

    I have no answer! Once I used to fight her attempts to get me on mid year ( away from our winter ) holidays now I see it as a welcome break.

    That wasn't exactly what I was inferring Old Dee.  i.e. Terry Wallace was a 6 week holiday etc.

    But I know what you mean and my wife often makes similar suggestions.  I can only hope that her beloved wees and poos enjoy the kind of success over the next 50 years that we have the previous half century.

    I didn't have to answer - wife barracked for C'wood before she met me. Now she shares the same misery as me (and hope).

    Thanks Saty for taking the time out of your busy schedule to bring us all up to date on training.

    And also to Santa for allowing Saty out of the workshop at this busy time in the North Pole.

    The difference is the Hawks are grounded in  reality it has taken us till just recently to get the picture. The Hawks won't sink to a 50 year low.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
