From my experience a team must be willing to fight , with fists , or keep getting shoved around and whipped.

Is this out-dated?

It starts with a great Board/Administration. If they are great, they will almost definitely make all the right appointments.

Those appointments should then make all the right decisions = Successful on field team.

It always starts from the top.

Strength and respect.

Sow real strength and leadership from the president down, the respect will be there and when you respect the people you work harder and push through barriers to make sure you have their respect and don't let anyone down. As Macca said, it starts from the top.

Biff, I can't help but think this question is in some way connected to the inside word you heard about the club today. Am I way off?

The meesage I got was cryptic .

I support Neeld personally but I have no idea what the inner sanctum thinks.

I'm guessing we could be getting a new coach soon if things don't improve.

The new coach may not be so new to the AFL ,or the Demons .

or I could be reading too much into it .

I agree with you but no person or organisation is going to make the right decisions all the time. I think its just as important how you respond or correct your mistskes

Yeah, you're right. Meant it as a general rule and probably should have been more specific. Made an adjustment.

In regards to the original question I'll say this:

I don't remember what year the Eagles drug crisis got out of hand, but I can tell you they won the flag in 06.

Success in sport is winning and winning only. Right or wrong the rest is just filler.

It was on the end of season trip that year that FLetcher flatlined in Vegas

Neil daniher?

He did get us playing good old fashion footy.

Pity he let our list collapse to shite.

He should be re-interviewed, maybe he is all we can afford, and we know he can coach. Good for club morale aswell.

I'd rather Paul Roos.

I beg to differ they knew there was a problem with Cousins when Judge brought it to their attention in 2001, he was moved on. Worsfold has been quoted in Bens documentary saying they new there we serious problems with him in June 2006, they continued playing him, they won the flag but look how he ended up They chose glory over the health of one of their players & that is why they are hated in the west. They turfed him out when he became an embarrassment to them. Fletcher flat lined in Vegas in off season 2006.

The club needs to start with clear values and goals that are strong, consistent and never compromised (integrity)

The team needs to have clear expectations and goals that are never compromised. Non negotiables must be commitment, courage and pride. These three things must be the standard, not the exception. If it's good enough for the Swans, why shouldn't it be the expectation at our club? Players should never walk off the park feeling like they didn't give everything they possibly could for the team. Supporters should never,EVER feel embarrassed by their teams effort.

Individuals (players) must know what the expectation's of the club and the team are. It must be clear, there can be no ambiguity. This relates to both their role within the team (which must be clearly defined) and their behaviours away from the team. Individual interests will always be placed behind the teams (and above all the club's) best interests.

And as a result the AFL took the premiership off them?

The prosecution rests. ;)

(I didn't say I agree with it, I just said that's how our culture measures success in sport)

You know the answer but the Premiership is forever tainted their supporters know it, Woosha and that dog Nisbett know it and they all hate it ever being brought up to this day. There is nothing they can ever do to change it

Mostly starts with the supporters & a handfull of management when the club is first born.

Just like a child, the first 3 Yrs are the ones where the character is formed...

A club that has started life with a silver spoon is always going to lack the hunger & the guts.

too change it is a perennial task... just as it is for the saints to see themselves as winners.

We are still in the grip of the defeatism that the club has suffered from since the early 70's.

too shift it will be very difficult.

To maintain a healthy one, once we grow it, will be like an alcoholic on the wagon, a constant vigil to keep it strong.

they're not born, or voted in. they grow & evolve into stronger units just as teams do.

    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

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
