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.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
