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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
