This is THE time for our "Line In The Sand" moment.

I seriously hope the powers that be at our club make the culmination of events of the last few weeks the turning point at the club.

From today we should -

* Stand on a united front

* Appoint a tough, experienced coach or assistant coach. Malthouse, Lyon or Burns etc

* Play hard aggressive, take no prisoners football

* Use our compensation picks wisely

* Make the environment within the playing group a "You are 110% with us or Fluck off" environment.

Be aggressive at the trade table.

Be tough in every facet of the club.

NO MORE SOFT APPROACH TO ANYTHING - FROM NOW ON THE MFC SHOULD BE A TOUGH, TACTICAL, WELL DRILLED, TAKE NO PRISONERS SPECIAL FORCES UNIT. FROM NOW ON WE ARE AT WAR.

In all seriousness this is the perfect time to start planning this approach. From the beginning of pre season all these wheels should be set in motion.

Great post.

Go hard or go home. HTFU. All of those cliches apply.

Backward steppers can get the fark out!

As long as the club doesn't use that "110%" fluff cliche.

100% is enough for me.

Agree with all of this except for beginning of pre-season. Wheels put in motion as soon as Scully advised the club of his decision.

**Bump**

Looks like some of these actions have been well and truly put in place.

Training camp at the army barracks in Darwin, culling of the flaky types etc.

We are on the upward curve. Finally!

what? competative & going backwards.

don't be fooled by getting to the bottom of the 8,, with a 4some of talent who won't chase or put the body on the line & a bunch of hard working individuals who were expected to make for the 4's lacking work.

that team was going NoWhere but backwards , exactly as it did, & now here we all are. struggling back to where we should have been under ND.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
