fitness base has been instigated at a rate of every other club , of which we were 3 years behind

got 4 hard bodied players to cover gaps until junior softer boys from draft can put on muscle and play against men in ressies for the first time in thier careers .no more throwing them to the wolves

has accepted we may lose games but will not relent on certain issues with players

fd has been trying to get out of ceo overshadow for 18 months maybe new ceo has aluded to this already

recruitment has been talked about for 18 months and now the fd gets a clear call at the player required

dont think so, not 19th anyway

another preseason will count, this was the catylist for the fd overhaul. a 3 year preseason

dont panic

I purposely made the 19th comment.

It was meant to show we could be worse than this year.

The current course IMO is simply not working I see not one improvement since the end of 2011.

The scoreboard is the only honest thing in the AFL

Jazza believe me I am not looking for a scape goat.

But there is no denying the spot we currently find ourselves in at present.

From 2011we have been progressively worse each year

we must be on the longest J curve in history.

I don't doubt it is going to take a long time to cure our current position

but doing nothing is not a course we can take between now and the end of 2013.

Members, supporters and Sponsers must have some sense of hope for the 2014 year.

Right now there is none

thats the panic button mate.

this spot came from many poor decisions, the main ones were the last 6 games 2011

a decision was made to bring our fitness levels up to standard. this was a fd primary goal. its being achieved

dont expose young players to gorillas and break thier mental spirit, this is being achieved. re 4 hard bodied older recruits

i would say 2011 was worse and the members sponsors were got back with the rebuild promise

ive seen the team this year try corridor footy and fail. then change to boundry. believe me this change during a game is hard to switch for any team, but weve done twice. lost but we done it. thats a good achievment for a footy team.

younger recruits learning thier trade in the ressies and building up bigger frames . this is a terrific implementation of short term loss, long term gain.

the murdering of the ball coming off half back will be sorted out when you have clark dawes , they HOLD the ball well in the f/line

and give players something confident to kick to.

see how the team will look when clark. watts, jamar trenners and grimes are back. you will be much more supportive and look forward to matches

remember big fella its not all doom and gloom. promise ya get on board and enjoy the swings , theres nothing else you can do

Had a very small slice of carrot cake today, forgot how good it is. It is even better than the great banana cake.

sacrilege, redleg

Perhaps the bananas got done for peptide abuse and were banned for two years? Otherwise, the sky really is falling ...

Is that why it is so grey today?

Now if only our team could regain theirs'.

Get some bananas into them before the game to fire them up, perhaps? Knowing our lot, they will probably come out and play like B1, B2 and the Rat in a Hat :blink:

Now if only our team could regain theirs'.

That suggests they had some at some point in the last two years to find Redleg

Having just read some of the other threads on Demonland, I am extremely grateful that this one has not descended to the nastiness of a few of the others.

There is still a place for a laugh and a discussion on football and our club without being attacked.

Spot on Redleg

I don' want to appear a smart arse but i have just got home after a great 24 hours.

Baby sitting overnight my two and half year grand daughter never ceases to bring a smile to my face.

Then off to see Uni Blacks play De la salle in the top of the ladder clash.

Blacks won by 11 points, close game and by Amos standards a good one.

Nice to go to a football match were I have the belief that my team has a good chance of winning.

My wife and I had a good day meeting a couple of friends, couple of drinks in Carlton on the way home.

On the way home she said to me "nice to go to a games and enjoy yourself!"

Next comment was are you going to another dees game this year?

Hmm very good question

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
