Will Demonland be providing updates on the comms/messaging from the club?

    This is happening tonight at 6PM.

    Cam from the Deebrief podcast will be giving updates.

    What’s usually spoken of at the launch?

    Last year it was Brad Green's infamous naming of the round 1 midfield.

    This year it will be an introduction to Kingy and what pre season has been like. Fingers crossed for a facilities update.

    We'll be there and hopefully, we will be able to provide updates from the venue along with the other supporters above who have indicated they're coming along 😃

    I’m hearing this year he is going to name the R1 half back line

    The Season Launch is imo the best event on the footy calendar. It’s a night full of hope for the new season; a clean slate, a fresh start etc. The mood is usually great* and it’s a lighthearted, fun evening.

    Understandably Luker won’t be there tonight. Maybe in Luker’s place the club will punish some young player by putting him next to me. Poor bastard 😂

    *with the exception of 2024 when the Season Launch took place merely hours after Gussy’s forced retirement announcement. A very sad evening indeed.

    Thanks, GS. Was fixing to have a great night and still hope to but it’s off to a bad start. I managed to talk my 20yo son into (reluctantly) straightening my hair for me which entailed promises of things that will take me a lifetime to cough up. Stepped outside into the drizzling rain and now I look like John Platten 😭

    ...and, in 2026, another Season Launch taking place merely hours after another forced? retirement announcement.

    Atmospheres: Compare and contrast.

    I only want one bit of goss and it starts with new facilities and ends with Caulfield.

    Not name-dropping (except totally name-dropping) I just chatted with Nick McCallum. He said he’s a long-suffering supporter. I said but 2021 was only five years ago. He said 2021 was just a pause in the suffering. 🤣

    I often see him. Sits in the mcc with the rest of us and sometimes his kids etc.

    I’m seated between Ricky Mentha and Shane. Ricky was just asked for I.D! The players are not allowed to drink but because there is a wine glass in front of him (as there is with everyone) he needs to show I.D. Ridiculous.

    Kalani has fully recovered from glandular fever. He’s feeling great. His girlfriend came down to Melbourne on the players’ 4-day break and despite Kalani becoming ill on day one, she loves Melbourne and is keen to live here.

    He said, “My dad’s here, come and see him!” Everyone was being seated so I said, “All good, I’ll hunt him down at some point.” Kalani said, “He’s over there, just look for the grey hair.” I thought well, Kalani, you need to narrow that down some 😅

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
