Really interested to hear what is said on the show tonight! Being in Brisbane though, we do not get the show, so i would appreciate any recaps or what ever! !?

Respect to increase immensely if he absolutely goes off his nut about us.

Hutchy and Carro better cut in, or I'll be unhappy.

They better do it then.

Garry went in pretty hard...He wants to see the next 6 weeks before making any decision..

The Stats for that first Q were worse than the GC Suns, regardless of the scoreline.

At least he gave that ambulance chasing muckracker that sits next to him the short shrift he deserves...

Would have been nice if they'd averaged those stats out across games played. Are we 17th for tackles because we've played one game less? Might even get up to 16th if we're lucky.

Disgraceful stat considering the amount of time we haven't had the ball this year.

those stats were sickening.... all the KPI possible and we are ranked 15-16-17 and i think thats for the year not just against WC

nearly as soft a segment as we play footy. What a waste of time waiting for that!

What else were you expecting?? I thought G Lyon was straight down the line.

Pretty damning stats they showed.

This time Last year we were the no1 tackling team in the comp.

This year we are the last.

I was expecting him to say "No, I don't want he *&%ing job", after being ribbed into giving an answer to a question that was barely given a thought.

Or "you've got 4 weeks to sort it out or things must move on for next year without Bailey".

I think our young bodies have trouble making the tackles stick.

Not an uncommon problem for young developing players, and we have an abundance of them.

As much as our impatient supporters might not like to wait longer, unfortunately this is what we must do.

A change of coach won't change much at all; in fact a change of gamestyle may push us further away from true contention.

Time is the only answer.

G Lyon has repeatedly said he will not coach, so that is old news, your second point he said 6 weeks rather than 4, but said it with Media Diplomacy.

So i think you got your answers.

Can't really blame the coach forthis. Im sure he hasn't told the players to tackle and pressure less.

Responsibilty needs to rest with the players, and they are the only ones that can fix it.

Yes those Stats are over the season thus far....apalling, regardless of games played. Those Stats are team standards for any club.

I can bloody well blame the coach for that. What the hell are we paying him for if not to get the best out of the players? Either he is telling them something they do not understand or they are not listening. Either way he is not doing a good enough job.

This is exactly what the Coach must turn around in the next few weeks....Imagine if we played some shockers like last week in the 50's-60's, would we not expect Norm Smith to fix the problem???? I think yes.

Do you think he was telling them to tackle last season but told them to stop doing it this season?

He played a very aggressive straight bat to his position in all this, and tried to make small of it all. But did let slip the figure 6 - 8 weeks,,, prior to saying the next 16 rnds. I thought that interesting.

As far as coaching Mentors is concerned I felt he tried to 'shut down' caro's talk of the odd arrangement between Port and Laidley. He agreed quietly and moved it rapidly on. *IMO Garry knows a lot more than he's letting on. He is out of contract @ 9, this year. Channell 9 missed the TV rights again! What can a good Kew boy do?

I distinctly get the feeling that the Board,,, or,,, some Part of the club is agitating for a change of Coach. As long as they can get a Topliner.

My question is that if it was unanimous within the Board, their wouldn't be all this media speculation, as Bails is out of contract this year.

So why all this apparently orchestrated electronic media push to undermine our coach amongst the supporters/members. If it was the wishes of the Board, it would be done inhouse. But it's not like that, so why??? And who's driving it???

The lacking support from within the club is also surprising in this scenario. If they want him gone, they don't have to play these mind games, he's out of contract this year.... They're trying to force something, but what?

Have I missed something too Obvious?

Orchestrated push? I'm one of the first in the main group and an admin, if there was a push I'd bloody well know about it by now.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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.

    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.

    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
