Who heard Neil Mitchell this morning.

It is time that something happens, not in six months time it must happen this week.

Cameron Schwab must go.

Make changes this week possible inclusions Spencer, Gawn, Fitzpatrick, Tapscott, Magner.

Put Watts up Forward and give him a Leadership role

Players to shave off their Beards

Board members to sit amonst the members for the game on Saturday.

Have a aftermatch function

magners a rookie so someone would need to be on injury list. Max Gawn monstered it at VFL level. There is some hope.

Fitzpatrick injured, so not eligible, AND has no form. Magner ineligible due to being a rookie. If you suggest changes, make them informed.

Oh, and Neil Mitchell is a shock jock with a very thin veneer of respectability....

Gawn was impressive in the VFL goals video just uploaded by the club. Can take a good grab and has put on some bulk, still just a kid too. I recon we may have gotten at least one recruiting choice right in him.

In the short term worth trying Gawn, Jamar is in strife, Spencer should be given a run. While we are at it, give Dom Barry and Rory Taggart a spin,

ITS - Time??????

ts time when the players are fit to play, then its time to select them. not by any other reason of knee jerks.

Tommy Mac came back last week and underdone.

Clarke is playing Underdone

Trenners came in, to give some needed leadership & is underdone after a serious foot injury

Davey come in for his first game & played well early in the game

Watts was sick & down on form

*******************

Magner sounds ready to resume, if we get an injury

Jetta is ready to fly the Flag

Bail may be right in 2 weeks of match fitness

Evans is a clever small running player who needs a go

& Tapscott isn't far off

& more to come

*************

when we can got most of our experienced players back out onto the park & fit, it'll be time to start Winning!

Wait, is Magner coming in directly for Schwab? Fair enough, Schwabby didn't even get a kick on the weekend. I like Tapscott and a bunch of underdone players coming back in being the answer, too, because that way next week dropping Tapscott and a bunch of underdone players can be the solution again like after round 1! Woo! We'll never be without an answer!

I also definitely think you're onto something, with shunting Watts around again and again, every time his form fails. That way he never has to face being accountable for a position, he can always just be 'played in the wrong role', you know... someone else;s fault.

Shaving beards certainly makes a difference, yep... damn facial hair ruining everything.

Board members could sit next to you and pass you a thermos of kopi luwak, you really wouldn't know it.

There's one thing worse than an armchair critic, it's an armchair critic who's got nothing to offer but thinks they have the answers and insist everyone in charge is clueless. It muddies the waters of the actual issues and solutions.

    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
