They called us a powerhouse! Woo hoo! We're in!

I thought "The departures of chief executive Gary Pert and president Kate Roffey also didn’t help stabilising efforts." was a strange thing to say. At best you could describe it as an end to destabilisation - beating the termites by replacing the wood with concrete. Less generously you could say "efforts to destabilise the club reached fruition with the departure of Kate Roffey and Gary Pert, and have now concluded".

I wonder what they mean by 'dual-threat' about Nibbler? Maybe they are trying to invent a new way to say two-way runner?

I also wonder who this Jake Bowers character is?

Has anyone else noticed that 'Viney & Co" is now a rock-solid idiom in the AFL media? As in, media will get comments from Gawn, from May, from Goodwin, from Petracca, and from Viney & Co. Who is this mysterious "& Co"? Seems like a clear nickname waiting for the right person to attach to.

I mentioned it a couple of months ago that our squad build in the last 24 months has placed us in a position where i personally think our squad is stronger than it has been for the last 3 years.

*Shake up of our game plan 🤞 according to interviews by Goody (I have nothing to go by yet we'll found out more tomorrow and in the next month or so.)

*Forward stock options- JVR has help finally around him.

*Midfield rotation options/Running power through defence through to midfield

*Quality cover in Ruck now Gawn/Campbell and Verrall

*Defensive stability only worry is a lack of small defenders with Mcvee going down.

Having not seen the kid play in the flesh only highlights to go by but it I feel we only got stronger with the inclusion of Hendo onto our list.

💪

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatchers were on hand at Monday morning's preseason training at Gosch's Paddock to bring you their brief observations of the session. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Gentle flush session at Gosch's this morning. Absent: May, Pickett (All Stars) McVee, McAdam. Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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
