We cannot lose Sylvia. More than anything, it sends a message that we are a horrible option. Right now we are not flavour of the month but we need to change perceptions albeit slowly. It must start season's end.

What do you suggest RtG?

Besides money how do you make someone stay at the MFC in its current state?

I'm not sure old dee. Perhaps it's a CEO with the capacity and willingness to sell a story. To this extent I'm curious as to the abilities of Ron Gauci. And it will be interesting to see how Jackson fares.

Beyond that, incriminating photos.

I get the feeling this task will be nearly as hard as keeping our sponsors on board next year.

I have spent all my life in Sales but this must be the hardest sales job in the western world.

Darren Jolly?

Greg Wells?

Earl Spalding?

Jeff Farmer?

Stan Alves?

The Wiz was better at the Demons than with the Dockers IMO. A rare win but a win nontheless

Earl was pretty good with us as well. He looked better with the Blues as they finally improved his horrible method of kicking at goal. Goal accuracy aside, he played some great games for us.

I cannot imagine any club paying him more than he would get at the Dees.

He could almost name his price and contract terms if he has a solid year.

Old dee, even as flat as I've been this year, I can't believe that things won't improve soon. I'm not in sales but would you not say to a company ' get in on the ground floor'. [censored], I was almost laughing as I said this.

There's also that line from the very first National Lampoons Vacation where the car salesman says to Chevy (double meaning)'if you hate it now, wait till you drive it'.

Huge job ahead convincing him to stay.

In some ways we need him to stay as hes one of few players of real talent and experience yet in other ways his lack of providing leadership of any form, chronic misbehaviour, and generally seemingly carefree attitude to his football would not be missed.

This is tiring. It's players like Colin that are supposed to make us a good team. Not play well when other players do the hard work for him.

I hear the same thing about Watts, Blease and others. How about these players actually deliver and who knows we might just be a good team.

I totally agree with this. I'm just making the point that Colin would have more value in a good team.

I'm thinking his friendship with Dids could play a part in him going to Collingwood. I hope not as we need as many mature players as we can get. He is frustrating and I don't think he will EVER reach his potential but he is a man (physically, not mentally so much) in a team of boys.

I'm tipping he'll be off . Isn't he matey with Shaw and Didak ?

Didak won't be at the Pies, last year of his contract. Ha who knows maybe Dids will be at the Dees...

Appoint a super experienced coach that he might think he'll learn from and play a big part in the climb up the ladder for the remainder of his career. Give him the VC (along with Clark). Jones & Dawes as co captains.

Oh, and a nice contract with a bit of a sweetner. Maybe a guaranteed career post footy with a Company associated with a friend of a friend of a friend..... of a Director. Visy or someone similar....shhhhhh :ph34r:

Do you reckon? If we are looking at injecting more youth at the expense of experience then he is of great value.

I thought that in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and now 2013.

The only change I see is we are worse than 2007.

Exactly and they would be too RtG

All this "friends" business is silly. You don't think Col might have a few friend at the Demons he might not want to leave? And besides, it's not like he lives in China where he can't see Didak and Shawry and drive down the Chandler Highway with them. Money is (IMO) the biggest factor in football these days, and we can give him more of that than anyone else.

Song, on a side note I'm still wanting to know how to add those ' moving images'

Agree, but I don't think Dids will will have another year in him after this one.

Getting sick of losing experienced, hard bodied players and then hearing all the claptrap about how young and inexperienced our group is. This will be a big test for the FD. Can they keep an experienced player who has hit some form and is allegedly loyal to the Club, or will the FD f**k it up and let another one go with little compo in return? Get the deal done Dees.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
