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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
