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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
