I know it's going to be damn tough, but any positives amongst the gloom?

Clark's competitveness, Jones still putting in a good effort, yep I'm struggling, but I am trying.

one goal to half time

...but only 15 less disposals to sydney 197 to 182

maybe they should try keepings off... ffs DO SOMETHING

Demand 100%. Demand every chase. Demand every tackle. Demand every contest.

Any less and you're in line to be dropped and someone else comes in. Screw consistency in the side.

We keep saying this of every team that loses - 'their intensity was down, they didn't chase or tackle'. There comes a point where a lack of intensity is not the answer, and that point is surely reached where a team has copped it seven weeks in a row from all angles telling them such, but don't appear to be playing any differently.

Our problems run deeper than a lack of intensity.

There in the huddle now just before the second half...and I can't even look at them...why ? Because they are not believable.

At least there's still The Robbo Show. It's the only thing I've got left to look forward to each week.

haha. do you notice how robbo tries to avoid bringing up the topic of this season....

Watts.

Blease has shown glimpses.

Jones and Clark are givens every week.

At least when we lost under Bailey (which was, disturbingly, less frequently than we are losing under Neeld) we would see glimpses of talent for a portion of the games.

I agree.

Even some of the worst games we had gave me some hope for the future, because I'd see us play good footy, if only in patches.

I struggle to think of many moments from this season that have heartened me.

no, no, you're right, we'll be 0-11, may not win a game all year, despite having a better list than last year, oh and we were better when we were tanking... Neeld must be an awesome coach and it's not his fault at all..... (catch that sarcasm?)

That's cool don't answer my question.

Just lose the plot and be sarcastic insults referencing people who have a blindness.

Well done. Feeling better?

nearly 3 wks away, no contact with footy at all, (lucky me), hoping to see ANY improvement in that time away, but as I probably have this club so ingrained into my soul, i deep down new it would all b the same as usual and it is, sooooooo shattering again DEE's

Do a Blight as someone else said. Sack half the team. They arent up to it and they arent even trying. We'd be better with just kids. Just useless by every measure.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.
