I must admit I was in the no rush category to get vaccinated.

But now I have have had my first jab and scheduled for 2nd in a fortnight.

I'm much more concerned about missing a MFC grand final than catching covid.

I am getting jabbed on Sunday but due to the timeframe involved won't be double jabbed before any Grand Final, not that WA would let me in. If we do make it and win, would be happy enough for my GFG to be transferred into DemonShop Credit aha.

For those in Vic, are there any states that will allow you in? I’m thinking some of the VIPs could travel to an interim state, spend the required time there before heading to Perth. Obviously would only work for those who don’t have day jobs and would have to start the process before knowing if we’ll make it…

The only state that will let us in is NSW

We are high risk Do Not Enter status everywhere else.

Without getting ahead of ourselves, a question that should probably be considered is who will present the Premiership Cup if we were able to win the flag in Perth? That is, presuming Emperor McGowan maintains his current position of allowing nobody other than players and direct support staff into the state. 

Some possibilities include Shane Woewodin, Earl Spalding? Not sure of any other notable ex-Demons players currently living in WA at present... maybe Nathan Jones, presuming he won't be playing, but flies over as part of the extended squad? (that would be weird but not necessarily a bad idea)...

I like Jonesy if he’s not in the team. Deserves to be on the podium but probably won’t get into the team. Given the current situation this is the year you could do something like that and it not be weird.

It would still be weird, but stuff 'em. As long as Goody doesn't give his coaches medal away like Beverage did (not that he would - Goodwin has far to much sense for such a silly display).

This - why can’t proven double jabbers only be admitted? 
Medicare status is on my phone. Mandate mask wearing. 

Makes no difference Vax doesnt stop you getting Covid!

You've made your choice and that's fine but I would have been royally peed off if you were in the queue yesterday ahead of my 24yo daughter who has waited all this time for the recommended vaccination.

How about we deal with the misinformation without the aggression. I hope your daughter got her shot. We will all be getting booster mRNA's from early next year anyway. It would have been nice to have been told that earlier.

At the very least, he would be at the ground. With WA Govt restrictions on non essential people (player's partners, non core club staff etc), he'd be available and a good option (if he's not selected).

McGowan can get stuffed. Don't host any finals in W.A. Come home after the game demons.

Surely while we wait to see what happens with these truck driver cases the teams should stay in SA?

Have given up on coming home, too many unknowns, and today the internet servers died at the office/guest house, limited bandwidth and no live game tomorrow, the horror, the horror….

Gillon the Gullible has been well and truly conned by the Emperor.

In fact don’t allow WCE or Freo to play at all next year without a guarantee of open borders and no lockdowns.  A 16 team competition would allow a more nearly equitable draw … and lessen the go home factor for Jacko and Riv 🤗

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    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

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie
