No. It's a matter of keeping sure the Club is on Notice.

Pearls are created through the pain & irritation of the Oyster. The Oyster does something to help itself

When your comfortable at night you'll sleep right thru. If your too hot, or too cold, you'll be motivated to crawl out of bed for another blanket, or to shed one blanket.

The point is that irritations are the genesis of creating.

Excellent stuff Dee-luded.

Apathy will kill us.

    We truly suck as a football team, anyone who thinks we don't is truly blind..correct me if I am wrong but I think Gary Lyon has too much say in the club eg gunning for neeld, not looking at Sheedy, why didn't we get a coach who had an AFL track record?

    Anyone else think the first 5 minutes of the 2nd we actually looked like we were playing an effective press?

    Yes! I nearly fell out of my chair!

    I've never seen it - bloody hell, we're being coached.

    To quote RR.....FMD.

    What?!

    According to this, it's better to be uncomfortable in bed, as opposed to not.

    There's a hell of a lot of crazy comment and analysis going on at the moment.

    The reality is this - at the end of last year, this club's playing list had completely lost its way and was absolutely pathetic.

    Since then, despite winning only 3 games, we have put in a new football department which appears obsessed with discipline and has an appropriate focus on the fundamentals. The benefits from this new approach will, however, take some time to flow through. Surely that's obvious. The point is though - there's been a change of direction, and it is a much needed professional change of direction.

    In the meantime, the following Victorian clubs have not made the final 8. All of them had finals in their sights this year, given their respective stages in the life cycle.

    - Essendon

    - Carlton

    - St Kilda

    - Richmond

    Admittedly St Kilda have a new coach, but they also have a very experienced list that he inherited. Richmond, Carlton and Essendon, all of whom have more experienced lists than us and are more advanced than us in their respective cycles, have had much more time with their respective coaches, their playing style, their methodologies etc - and NONE of them made the 8. Think about that.

    Neeld's had but a nano-second by comparison, and with a list that is not his and that is pretty bloody ordinary. But we have cap space and good draft picks on our way - and we a coach who seems to have a ruthless commitment to professionalism and discipline. He will not sit on the fence. The transformation could be exciting.

    But - more than anything, what this club needs now is not the brainless criticism of Mark Neeld and the club more generally. It needs your support.

    In short, sign up for a 2013 membership as soon as they've been released.

    Get on board.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
