Why stop at training?


Guest

Recommended Posts

Great atmosphere at training this morning, but it would be even better if we could provide another morale-boosting attendance at the game tomorrow.

The boys loved us being there, it got them up and about. Lets do it again against the Eagles tomorrow.

Get around the guys, show everyone that our football club won't just roll over.

great news, i only hit city for 7 games per year but im started to get excted enough to stop listening on th radio while fishing and get city more often just to be around dee supporters , so i can not be alone one out with cats and bomber fans giving it to me. we need to stick and show strength right now, maybe being at training and showing the spirit is the start we need

Training was great, Im pumped for the WCE game now

So good to hear training was such a success with the turn out and support.

Lets make sure we all get along tomorrow but lets remember to be realistic too.

We are playing a real finals/premiership chance and will most likely lose the game. Thats a fact.

It would be counter productive for us to then turn around and boo the players during/after the game etc. as we have our hopes up because of a resurgence of supporter support.

As long as they have a fair dinkum crack i'll be happy.

I have heard multiple times from players that the supporters/crowd at games is a key motivator for them. I can understand that - imagine having 30,000 cheering you after a goal/good play (it really would make you dig that little deeper).

I think if we can back up the attendance from training it will be a real motivator for the players. I will be there and if the players show commitment and desire I will be clapping them of the ground no matter what the result. The supporters have shown that they bleed red and blue it is now the time for the players to show it!

Quit this losing is ok attitude...NOW.

i dont think losing is good at all. Believe me.

But in a side that doesn't know how to win, and is learning how, then you need to support the steps in the process of them learning.

I'm not saying i'll be happy if they lose, i'm saying i won't be booing them.

But lets be realistic here, we are playing West Coast a genuine Premiership/Finals contender and we are woeful at the moment. It is highly unlikely we will win, but we can still make progress!

This week i want relentless effort and for them to have a damn crack.. I'll applaud if i get it.

Next week i want relentless effort and something else. I'll applaud if i get it.

The week after i want relentless effort...etc. etc.

You really don't read or comprehend posts do you, nobody is happy iwth losing, keep repeating that to yourself, while you flagellate, the poster is being realistic.......so you expect the team, taking into account where it is at the moment, to come out and beat West Coast by 100 points........yes that would be great and by some miracle it may happen......but realistically not

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
