Keyser Sose, are you always right? What a sad fella you seem to be. Hope it all improves for you.

Curry and Beer you have made some good posts, but why make that last stupid post?

I don't think you guys have much of an idea how AFL footy works and what supporters expectations are.

I actually expect more from our club and will not make excuses for them. I call it as I see it. Sometimes I get it wrong. I am not blinded by loyalty. I absolutely expect success soon and if not I demand changes.

I also reckon if someone has a different point of view to mine, so be it. I wont hammer them on it.

I am not so sure that some that cast the aspersions on here are all that they think they are!

Predictable posts from both of you, quite humorous in fact!

Sad? Not at all.

If only you knew...

This post comes across to me as patronising, towards those on Demonland who didn't like the tactics employed on Sunday. Sure, most (me included) over-use the word 'gameplan', but I still believe that putting 17-18 men behind the ball isn't a good move, regardless of whether it's flooding, or the coach's best idea of how to win a game, or whether it's just the players reacting to a game situation.

And I think you should respect other people's views.

Patronising, yeah maybe. I think you've taken it to heart a bit. Considering the post followed several light hearted banter posts.

Fwiw, whether there is an instruction to push the players up the ground, etc (debatable - * Note Bailey denied "flooding*) it can be determined as part of a game plan. It was a comment made in light of views expressed (in the Game plan thread) that Bailey doesn't have a game plan - even though it was acknowledged (& disliked) that players looked to be being played behind the ball leaving not much up forward in the Freo game (ie. a plan ?). Which I find quite enlightening.

I'd like to think I respect other's views more often than not, where applicable.

I know it has been said before and will be said again but bring on the season. That way we can discuss the gameplan (or lack thereof), the players efforts (or lack thereof), the skills (or lack thereof) and where we really are at after seeing a REAL game or two rather than this mickey mouse competition that each of the 16 clubs view and treat differently that the others.

Agreed. As it's been said before it's still February. Well March now. lol. Moving right along.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
