Before we all put the team to the sword just stop and think about what's happened to the club over the last couple of weeks. No one knew just how this was going to effect the players, it was always going to be extremely emotional, they probably were mentally drained even before the first bounce.

Give them a couple of weeks at least, then if they're playing the same then fair enough, bag them all you want, but not this week.

What we're seeing today is the product of 6 years not 2 weeks, no more excuses.

Thanks for completely missing my point.

I think we now have a gameplan with Neeld so thats an improvement already.

Today has shown we have some good kids and the problem has always been with our seniors.(what has Davey or Green done today)

I know with the Jimma situation we were all expecting something special, but Lions are alot more experienced.(they also have Black whos a real senior player)

Its going to be another long season but I hope there will be improvement this season.

Neelds presser is going to be interesting.

I'd love to believe that. I really would.

My gut however is saying that this is the first evidence of senior players miffed over the leadership spill. They've never been this poor. Ever.

Combine that with a bizarrely one-dimensional gameplan, a sub-standard midfield with some ordinary drafting here and there, and you have your result.

On a positive Viney will come to us as second rounder. Once again my football calendar revolves around one day, draft day. Tell me we did activate all 2 picks. Pls

Horriffic goalsquare error from Macdonald. He's out next week too. Green, Davey, Macdonald. Maybe Magner if his injury is as bad as it looks. Not good, Demons.

Once again too many on here believing (rather simplistically) that change = success

It's going to take more than one pre-season to transform this team into a club.

Patience.

And don't say you've been waiting since '64, because this team is Neeld's team.

F/S bidding apparently gets done before the draft, so no we will have to bid a first rounder on him. I'm sure this has been on Demonland like a gazillion times.

How many years are we going to be looking forward to the draft instead of finals?! We need a rebuild, we are a disgrace!

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
