Just to confirm that the #49 indigenous boy that's been training with the dees is highly talented NGA prospect Ricky Mentha. Mentha is originally from Palmerston Football Club up in the NT and wi

Been a while since Ricky Mentha's come up anywhere. Gippsland have moved him to half back and looks like the switch paid off last weekend: Stats: 22 disposals, 5 marks, 7 rebound 50s Mentha

Great video with our two new boys! 

Good to know they'll both have a buddy early on. 

A really great little vid.  He does them quite well.  How trippy the boys are again teammates. 

Some talent there .

Good luck Tricky Dicky and umm  Tricky.. ( still working on that I guess 🤣 )

No live rookie pick for us.

AMW might be a cat A after all.

Get an Irish Cat B please!!!

Another Irishman at the Demons would be wonderful.

But besides choosing Ricky Mentha do we have any category B rookie spots left?

Welcome to MFC Ricky Mentha, so glad that you were picked up in the Rookie Draft you could be the trail blazer for the Alice Springs youngsters that want to strive for VFL/ AFL opportunities and I’m sure that Kozzie and AMW will get around you as well as Deakyn Smith at Casey.

Deakyn was delisted a while ago.

Hi Redleg I read on Demonland that Deakyn has re-signed with Casey and Thomastown, so will hopefully see him back in our colours when needed.

Since we call Jake Lever Rick, perhaps we should call Ricky Mentha Jake?

Great article if-you-can-see-it-you-can-be-it-melbourne-demons-recruit-ricky-mentha-jnr-from-alice-springs-aims-to-inspire

He has entered very familiar environment:  stayed with May and Pickett last year now living with Viney, overseen by Whelan and playing with his Gippsland captain:  XL.  Doesn't get much better than that for a draftee!

A real compliment to Whelan: "(He) ... as Indigenous welfare development manager and is widely regarded as one of the best in the business".  

Has to be good for us in Alice that we have a local lad on our list.  Ricky and Kozzie will be very popular when we play there next year.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
