Does Neeld go?

Do we accept that's we're we are at?

Is it the cattle?

If we do lose, I can't see how we could keep the current coaching and there plans.

How old are you, & what experience do you have about helping players recover?

You can be a real drop kick sometimes.

Keep neeld to the end of the year, he will still have a year to run on contract, look at it then, I saw a good first half from the dees and I think we will see a better performance next week.

The pressure on the Board will be enormous. Do they stare the media down or do they accept that the truth of the matter is the media are right. I hate the muck-rakers being right so I'm prepared to stare them down like Hird did (to date). Neeld gets the year!

What's that got to the question dee-luded ?

Simple DEE-VOTED.

the players need to recover their composure.

We went into Rnd1 after a big cleanout,, too Young.. the terrible result has set off a big loss of confidence & belief, & a fireball, which it seems to me you are trying to fuel.

I get the feeling your not more than 20 something. & so would know little about how to go about fixing this issue...

except to make it worse.

It is not the 1990's where we could simply go harder in the contest, to force more stoppages, & arrest the momentum.

Now with the size of the Interchange bench has allowed many more strategies to apply to the game & so inexperienced sides are really up against it to stop the team with the momentum.

Thats why there are more blowouts in todays footy.

your posts of this type are not what will help the Club.

Essendon the club, are showing their class, after some decades of a Sheedy dynasty... Character personified throughout.

that win was full of character. that is Sheedy's Legacy.

that club & its supporter base have regrouped TOGETHER, to fight, backs against the world, to take on anycomer...

... & what do I see here,,, rats, wanting to foul, & then desert the ship. & bite anything that passes in front of them.

GWS are younger and more inexperienced than us but don't get blown out of the water as much as we have the last 3 weeks. How long do we keep blaming tactics and youth and modern footy?

I'm not sure losing to GWS makes things worse or makes us less honest

GWS have stuck to their Guns. that is my point that I made... only Mark Williams that I can think of has moved on. they have stuck to their plan in a disciplined way.

they have stability as does GCSuns, because they've stuck to their plans & not panicked.

We are like Richmond of the 80's, because people are continually panicking..... don't listen to the likes of Caro.

continually changing things before they show they're value is craziness.

Just got home from the G the Ist half was great sat in the cheer squad with the lovely and kids and got to wave the flags 9 times in the half brilliant stuff.

Waited with anticipation for the 3rd quarter and watched us get smacked by 11 goals to 1.

The following conclusions were made: we have a really young and 2nd rate midfield that has not got the ability to run from defense to the forward line and back and is simply not strong enough. fit enough or good enough to compete at AFL level

Whitfield, Bugg, Scully, Ward, Shiel, Treloar, Greene & Coniglio will run our midfield off its feet next week unfortunately.

Our midfield is 2nd rate

Saints touched them up and Scully's copping bronx cheers....

If they win, they win.

Today we unearthed Evans (who was good) until he ran out of puff. He's only 20 and coming back from a debilitating back injury.

Matt Jones is a real find.

Ro Bail was great - I hope the kid's head is okay.

Dean Terlich must play every weak, as he has a crack and his skills will improve.

The penny may have dropped with Sylvia and today he really stood up.

3 Jacks were terrific.

Big Mitch is getting better and Nathan Jones may yet win a Brownlow.

Neeld is the man.

You are very optimistic Jumbo. Hope you are right. Time will tell but its what happens in the meantime that really worries me.

Well Patton has done his acl so he is one tall we dont have to worry about. poor kid but its a shame it wasnt Scully.

I was impressed with Evans today. With some more games under him he will be ok. They may have scully, greene, bugg and Whitfield but they have to compete with Jones and Viney who are tough tough men and I think will want to make the presence felt.

Yeah, it's veiled optimism, DemonOx.

I just thought, today, there was flair and some good skills on show.

Most of our players are still too lazy and will need to lift another level to compete/stay in AFL footy.

I agree, poor kid...he'll be anything.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
