Watching this game with the gold coast is one of the more painful things i have ever done, it raises a very serious question

what can we do to get out of this hole? if there is anything.

What war chest? The one minus $1.5 mill? We have no 'war chest'. Pay out Neeld, Craig and most of the assistants and we are minus $2.5-3mill.

Assuming Neeld is not going to survive this, it may be our last crack at a coach appointment, we need to get it right.

Maybe Garry Lyon can sit out on the next coach being appointed.

Either we back Neeld to the hilt and go through the draft again or we sack him right now and bring in someone else.

If we think the players are to blame, then we keep Neeld and get new players.

If we think Neeld is to blame, then we sack Neeld and back the players.

Either way we need to make our choice now.

Do we have five players out there who have dished up acceptable performances?

Do something.

Do something, to persuade the supporters, the sponsors, the players and the League not to sack the club.

Why do we have to pay them out? You don't perform you get released.

The obvious answer to me is to only play the players who are desperate for a place in the side. Sellar has been gifted games because of some perceived utility or maturity that is supposed to make him more use than the other similar players in the side. That stops. Davis would have given us much more today, simply because he is all competitive all the time. I've never seen a worse case of white-line fever. We can't keep on putting in these slack performances. Players who coast or who take their spot in the side for granted need to learn that playing for the MFC is a privilege and if they can't be bothered putting in 110% every time they put on the jumper they can play for Casey. There are a bunch of guys who would kill to play in the firsts, and it's time we let them.

If you want to feel normal again, just stop watching us. You have to disconnect with what is actually happening.

Either that or start following Hawthorn or Geelong...

The most humane thing the club could do for its supporters is to ask the AFL for the rest of the year off so as not put us through any more miserable weekends in 2013.

Does anyone even care anymore?

I care - I'm shattered.

Really? I was shattered after the first round. Shattered doesn't describe what I feel now

    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
