Hopefully @kev martin and/or @Demon Dynasty will be here this morning to furnish a training report since I’ll be otherwise engaged. My mission today is to waylay a rookie and glean the deets of this whole “mouse pack” story.

You’re all welcome 🤗

    How can you be sure I’m not waylaying the club welfare officer as well? 😎

    I’d like a running commentary and then a detailed report on each player. In particular Viney and Oliver. Make it happen.

    Yeah Andy, make it happen!!

    You might need to attend umpire training and quiz former Demon and current goal umpire David Rodent.

    I'd like to say I enjoyed writing my observations of training for you. Thank you for your support 

    However this site has decided to fall on the side of the apathetic and/or misogynist. 

    My post about domestic conditions were deleted, without any explanation. 

    Somethings are bigger than footy.

    Establishing a society with equal access to all, without oppression, ridicule and violence is important to me.

    I will not post again.

    Beanpole alert: Idk what his height is listed as but for Kalani White “very [censored] tall” will suffice. He’s 16yo, outrageously tall and still has a few more years to grow.

    @Demonland, given the post above, can there please be an explanation given to Kev as to why his post was deleted? I’m sure all of us would hate to lose him as a DL contributor, and it’s certainly not like him to get upset over nothing. I didn’t see the posts at the time, and I don’t need to know what they were about, but I believe @kev martin does deserve an explanation. Thanks. (Think of this as a good-guy defence).

    It was discussing a very important social issue, the surge in domestic violence toward women. Agree with Kev on the poor form censoring this sidetrack when so many others are deemed acceptable. Especially given part of the issue in this area is mainstream disinclination to engage in the issue…

    Hey Kev, on occasion I’ve decided to ditch DL permanently for whatever reason. But I was given valuable advice from some beautiful souls here, that being to not sever ties completely, rather take a break of indefinite length. Come back when you feel you’re ready. It would be a crying shame to lose you for good. Please consider this. 💕

    BTW, (Rare) credit to the AFL for shining a light this round on the ever-growing scourge that is violence against women. Clubs have been issued a directive to bring attention to the cause. Our banner tomorrow night will address this in no uncertain terms.

    Also, just when you think you can’t possibly love BBB any more than you already do, he posts this on instagram…

    I’m not going off topic since I thanked BBB for his post and told him I’d share it with as many people as possible, for which he was sincerely grateful. This was at training so I’m also not derailing the (training) thread.

    I'd echo this. While some topics are difficult, and certainly the current gendered-violence crisis, as being addressed by the AFL in each of the games, is not easy to talk about - the discussion of culture/the actions of boys/men in the crowd is clearly relevant, and should be kept where it doesn't descend into personal attacks/legal issues. And I would think Neil should receive explanation. 

    Whatever your view of this issue, it should be discussed. The argument that it doesn't mix with sports doesn't wash, because the AFL itself is incorporating it into the games (which I think is a good visible move, and sends a strong, united message to the crowd - although I think Brad Scott's comments re Tarryn were poorly timed and send the wrong/inconsistent message).

    Thanks, WCW. I shared BBB's words, particularly his final two paragraphs, on my socials.

    Love that man. Good role model. I hope the boys (and their fathers) are listening. 

    Please send that man a big hug.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
