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

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
