Yeah Colin's plans have changed a lot in the last month as it's no longer a sinking ship that end of contract players have thought about jumping off.

Just play some good footy Col.

Neeld................... make no mistake..... the worst coach in the history of the game.

Craigs performance has been good, but he is made to look better than he is because Neeld was that bad.

Good news.

Its amazing timing with Watts and Sylvia stating their commitment after a certain person was moved on.

Col Syliva was never gonna leave unless the Club wants him to, get over it, he loves the Club, Neeld was playing him and playing him in the midfield, he had no issues with him, this crap is really wearing thin, just be glad if he does stay

Nice to c a couple of players coming out and now saying they WANT to stay.

What a turnaround this is from a month ago.

There seems to be a very good feeling around our club again.

It's been a while.

Go Dees

Can we stop with this comments, and just put it in the past. GET OVER IT people. It's done. The club has dealt with it, lets move on.

I hope he stays.

If he has a standout season and a match winning grand final game for us one day, I don't care how many more teasers he gives us.

He will be valuable when we are up and running.

Give us Roos and some good mids through FA and the draft. Give us 3 years and the 'G' will be a sea of red and blue again.

What a beautiful thought.

I take a different view - he just wasn't ready.

Had a few other lessons he needed to learn before taking on the role.

Would have benefitted from another 5 years or more as an assistant.

I think he was capable in regards to some aspects of coaching.

Ummm I'm guessing this has come from a press conference which he has fronted because he plays his 150th this week. Watts only commented on his contract when asked at a post game press conference.

I think people are reading too much into the timing of these things. Just as some might say it's only coming out because Neeld is gone, it could equally be said that these messages are only just coming out because these players are actually being asked the questions by journo's in a press conference.

It is a nice dream Steve. After more than a decade of injury, interesting off-field choices and form teases Colin throws aside the maligned tag with a huge game in a grand final

He should then self combust in a blinding light on the victory podium. Beautiful

There may be little value in him leaving, especially if we want to get involved in signing FAs ourselves...

Yay, I guess.

Come on pm in the words of John McEnroe you can't be serious. If Neeld was still at the club do you honestly believe that Syliva would have declared he wants to stay at the dees? My guess is that he would would have given the wait and see response.

And by the by for those who argued Neeld should be given until the end of year (and IIRC you were one of them PM) one only need to look at the improved spirit of the team and the fact that 26, 000 people went to the G on the weekend as proof of why it is was so important he go. If he was still at the helm they would have struggled to get 20, 000 there so in that game alone we have probably made $100k more than we would have.

I'm going to see the dees this weekend and i can tell you there is no way i would have even thought about if Neeld was still the coach such was the lack of spirit amongst players and fans.

It is yay, more for the symbolism of it more than anything. I'd have thought Sylvia was one of the most at risk players and most likely to leave if the wider playing group thought they were wasting their time here. I'm happy to hear this.

Pretty sad that people cant see this is a great piece of news, for a number of reasons as you stated.

Not to mention I am salivating at the prospect of seeing him play under a real coach and after a real preseason.

    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.
