Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all Demonlanders. 

It’s been a tough year for our beloved club. Let’s hope we can bounce back in 2020. 

I want to thank our Mods @Nasher@Whispering_Jack, @Grapeviney, @george_on_the_outer. They go above and beyond in their tireless work of keeping the forum civil and a friendly, inviting and inclusive place. Things can get heated in here especially in the tough times and the mods do a great job of keeping the peace. 

 Thanks to my Podcast cohosts @Grapeviney, @Supermercado & @george_on_the_outer. It’s a tough job having to front up week in week out when you only win 5 games so thank you guys for not bailing on me. 

 A big big thank you to our regular preseason trackwatchers @kev martin, @Baghdad Bob, @Satyriconhome, @DeeSpencer & anyone else who I’ve missed out. This year you guys have raised the bar and I look forward to your reports in the New Year. A million thank yous.

 And lastly but certainly not least thank you to all of you who make up this wonderful community. This forum is nothing without its contributors. Hopefully 2020 brings us that elusive Premiership so that we can all bitch about the cup not being shiny enough together. 

 Bring on 2020. ???

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all.

It's the generally good natured banter on Demonland that helps get us through seasons like this.

Nothing like a good argument or difference of opinion.

Also nothing like some of the really informative stuff we get to share such as the training reports and well founded rumours (scoops).

Thanks to the crew for making it all happen & thanks to the majority of posters for making it an enjoyable experience.

Merry Christmas Demonlanders. I’d like to apologise for anything stupid I’ve said and all the other stupid things I’m bound to say over the forthcoming season. 
 

As a long-game Christmas gift to you all, I have decided that if we don’t win the flag in 2020, I will super-glue myself to the statue of Norm Smith outside the G, and simultaneously hold a hunger strike until all the other teams acquiesce into just letting us win 2021’s flag. 
 

This is something Darren Burgess hasn’t thought about,  and I feel it’s the missing link in our plan.

May all of our wishes come true for the red and blue.

Wishing you all health, luck and making good decisions. 

From Kev

ScoMo went for a little break while the country burned. Who cares, Kev bolted while Dees preseason was in full swing. Unforgiveable.

Only joking Kev, you're an absolute legend. I could never put into words what your preseason reports have meant to me during a tough time in my life. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Have a great Christmas.

Thanks for that, it reminded me to break out the Kevin Bloody Wilson song today.

Not for the more "sensitive" members here. Please take note of the warning

A huge thank you to Andy and all others who make Demonland such a wonderful place for us to meet and share our woes, disappointments, hopes, dreams and occasional joys.  As an 'interstater', remote from the Melbourne media, I honestly don't know where !'d be without a healthy serve of Demonland to go with my Weet Bix and muesli 365 days a year.  Hope Santa was generous with red and blue gifts for everyone, and that 2020 brings something very special, even if we do have to wait until September!

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year Demonlanders.

A disappointing year on field, but always nice to have this place to vent, dissect and hope. 

Appreciate everyone's banter and insight, enjoy the season and look after yourselves.

All the best to all at Demonland! Mods, what an outstanding forum and fan site.. thanks!

To all Posters, whether I agree or not, Thanks for providing a really interesting conversation and banter and occasionally heated discusiion!

It is the PASSION, that we share and although we do have differences at least we are united in one thing,

A LONG OVERDUE FLAG!

So I send this All the best!

" Try not too stay too static or cute.

Premierships won long ago memory can decay and become like brown Squashy Fruit,

Change, is the seed to personal growth and a footy club so passionate, that it demands perfection and swear on the Grand old Flag Oath!

And submit to the Challenges that aspire to greatness, all that we seem,

Follow the Blueprint, those in command, and there stands before us The Premiership Dream!"

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
