If he actually did that he probably should be fired for that then

Bugger.. had I known it was at Myrtleford today I would have called in a sickie and made the trek down the highway with my young fella.

Got to squash in Milawa to be told by other locals that training was at Myrtleford.

Cue jokes about Myrtleford flogging the Dees, avoiding the heartache,... etc,

I received notice that there were 36 members in postcode 3747 the same day but no notice that training was happening in my backyard.

And for all those posters who lamented he didn't look happy at the camp and none of his insta posts had him in demon gear, I'd love them to take a big bite form humble pie:  he looks very happy and proud in his demons training gear having fun with teammates.

Geez Luci, it was just an observation from a couple of track watchers who went out of their way to report back to you guys. The comments made were no different from what other track watchers observe about other players at training in Melbourne. You don't need to shame people because you don't agree with what was said. You weren't there.

Sources say that when they were up, they were up. 

It's going to end with a mid-table finish, then...

Fair comments, djr.  I wasn't referring to your reports which I enjoyed.  If my comment offended you I apologise. 

I wasn't referring to observations per se.  It was the conclusions by some re Petracca not posting about the club/teammates on IG, not wearing mfc gear on his IG, caring only about his brand etc etc implying he had 'checked out' or 'didn't care' (paraphrasing).  Those trigger the anti-Trac brigade and the off-season stuff is rehashed. 

djr, shaming others isn't ever my style - if it was I would have quoted them. 

I just hope we don't spend the year questioning his commitment/behaviour or defending it.  If that happens each week I'll be the one checking out, of DL.  fwiw, I would feel the same if anyone playing for our beloved demons was discussed that way.

Certainly hope not. 
Would like to think they have got that out of their system. 
Much fitter squad this year than the past couple. Whatever surgeries required have been completed before pre-season started. 
Along with natural improvement from younger players. 
I hold high expectations as should they.

Demonland, ignore my smartypants reference to the nursery rhyme. I'm with Disco on the expectations (gulp!) 😄

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
