I'd go further. Sack the board as well, since they hired Bailey. Sack Schwab, too much micromanaging, Connoley too. Definitely all the players.

I mean it's absolutely irrelevant that we've carefully and impressively been implementing a long term plan to make us the 'team of the decade.' It's also irrelevant that we've stockpiled brilliant talent on every line of the footy field that should peak for us in 2013 and beyond.

I mean, the smart thing to do is that at the very first obstacle, we should throw the baby out with the bath water.

yeh, because it is also a team based decision, and it is voted upon by all the players!

well said

50% of the footy we've played in this season has been afwul. About 20% of it has been brilliant mind you! It is just a bump in the road.

Think about the list Bailey started with, and the club that was being told it's existence was in the gun. We ARE coming back.

we have to harden up now, I am certain by the end of this season we will be back in high regard by everyone. KNow that in a few weeks we will have a numbe of our best players back in Scully, McKenzie, Trengove and Jamar. That's an engine room and a decent one too. Some of the blokes like Green, Davey, Morton and Bennell simply will not continue to play badly all year, they are too good.

i'm still tipping us for top 8, but if it doesn't happen it won't be of any great concern anyway cos the picture is bigger than one season. Can you believe we get handed another top-level midfielder for our collection next year!

Awful, awful thread.

But since I award marks purely based on the number of punctuation marks, I award you two points (plus one for your second post).

What, no points for originality?

Agreed anyone who thought we would be playing finals this year are kidding themselves! There is definitely a grander plan in place and we are moving forward towards and evolving that. We should start getting some talent back on the field in the next few weeks, couple that with blooding some rookies in the meantime (Howe, Gawn, Evans and Cook and we'll be better for it in the long term! Players like this when they have developed in size will be the missing links in our current puzzle. Think about the talent we gained to take us into the future, If Bailey gets sacked or has contract terminated then who ever comes in to replace him has just been given the golden egg I believe! It's tough now but the flag will be grand again! Go Dees!

No. But since everyone around here seems to rate 'passion' over rationality, maybe I should give him some bonus points for that.

And throw the bath out too with the water and baby. Yeah.

BTW, wasn't it the previous board who hired Bailey?

What a happy thread to read as i start a new day....

I was thinking that reading Demonland while I finally have my coffee after being at work since the crack of dawn is going to make me less stressed. I was right. Laughter is very good for the soul.

I reckon they should sack everyone. I mean, like, we're not even winning and that.

I'm with you kallioota. It's a real problem when you can't find the hole!

I'm not a big fan of captions either.

I mean, pictures say a thousand words but you still need 8 words below it?!

Barge! Flimshaw!

I thought school holidays were over..

I want to sack, in order:

- The government of Indonesia

- The department of Immigration (in its entirety)

- Everyone who works at McDonalds

- The crew of the HMAS Collins

- The airport terminal staff for Virgin Blue

All have contributed to this failure! :D

    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.

    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.
