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!

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)!

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.

Paid.

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

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
