...when all the knee-jerk hissy fits have finished and the pundits have stopped kicking the [censored] out of a club that's on the floor, what can be done from here? How do we bring confidence back into this playing group? How can we realistically turn this juggernaut around?

Knee-jerk. LoL.

There has to be an answer. Is it a system change? Do we just try and lose by less and less each week til we win?

Ha ha - fair enough, but screaming for everybody's head isn't the answer.

Why do I get the impression you're they type of person who is constantly sick with hypochondria... stop being so melodramatic.

I get worried I will be hit by a car, I get worried that I will loose my job, I get worried that my girlfriend will revoke my hall pass on Miranda Kerr - I get worried about alot of things, but I'm not worried about this.

Not an ideal start to any season, but not a reason to start sending memberships back in.

Man on man football? Performance based contracts only?

Could you imagine performance based contracts? The club would save MILLIONS.

You nailed it. This playing group have no idea. That could be a coaching fault or a playing group fault or a combination but its a big enough mess that it won't be fixed without blood being spilt.

This is simply gut wrenching......but you are correct that we will recover, the saddest factor being with how many supporters.....we have lost generation over seven years who follow success, many start out that way. We would not have earned a neutral supporter for almost a decade.

We need real leaders of men. I still believe neeld can manage and has a vision, but he cannot coach. Put Craig in tomorrow and move on.......then give half the mcg for Paul Roos.

Then we start again.

No, I will not.
I didn't freak out when we lost to Hawthorn by 100 in round 1 2008.

I was annoyed at 186 but I hadn't lost hope.

I have completely lost all semblance of hope.

Things must change now. This is pathetic. If someone, ANYONE, doesn't offer their resignation soon, they will lose me as a supporter.

Do things the hard way. Drag players out of bed At 5 tomorrow morning for a ten k time trial. Put sanctions on them like children.

I don't know, fold?

Posted

I will never give up my Membership but if it hurt the players as much as it hurts me, we would turn it around in no time. IE to many of our player not mind losing.

Posted

The club is in deep trouble,as a whole.

Best we try to be nice to each other and not rip the joint to bits.

Football is only a game.

We are alive and the sun will come up tomorrow.

Panic ,drastic supporter action ,strikes,riots etc wont help now.

I actually feel sorry for our players now.

We should attempt to be stoic at the moment.

Sacking everybody will make this worse.

    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
