What Do You Want To See Next Season

So what would you like to see from the new coach and in proxy the players next season?

Personally, I want to see effort from the players every single week, which means the coach is instilling the will to play and win into them. As well as that, a minimum of 6 wins (which could be ambitious, have to aim high though), a workable game plan (with flair), improved skills and leadership from senior players on the field.

Depending on the coach we might only get a couple or all of the above.

The main thing though for me is passion on the field and effort. Too long have we been limp, not stood up for each other, not played with any intent and aggression or played for each other as a unified group. I do think that either Roos or Williams would be the best coaches to improve this aspect. They have a hard task though as it will be mighty hard to instill some hope and energy into the side after so many kicks in the guts.

Anyway, as is usual for a Dees supporter, I'm looking forward to next season long before it starts. What do you want to see?

    No 1. Contested possessions, possession count, clearances and tackles all on an upward curve.

    Let's not forget Mitch 'Fish' Robinson either, he needs a good belt around the head. All of the above then

    Personally I would like to see a forward line of Dawes, Clark, Hogan, Watts, Fitzy, Howe and then an elite midfield to kick it to them!

    Players enjoying playing for the MFC, playing with passion and enthusiasm and courage and leading us out of the worst position the club has ever being in, might only be baby steps but some obvious steps in the right direction!

    Jack trengove with his zip back would also be nice.

    Coach: Paul Roos

    - Coach Paul Roos

    - No 100 point loses

    - No more than 5 +60 loses

    - A forward line of Hogan, Dawes, Clark, Fitzy and Watts

    - Watts to improve

    - Strauss and Tapscott to become regulars

    - Viney and Toumpas to pass Wines

    -

    -

    I could go on but I don't think it will do much except for get me over hopeful

    2nd efforts as standard

    Seeing what a consecutive win would do to DL

    I think half of demonland would just explode and the other half would probably complain because we are so used to being angry haha

    Since you asked, I am more than happy to oblige... the woman pictured is the late great Edith Massey in her role as Edie the egg lady from the film "Pink Flamingos", directed by baltimore's favourite son, the great John Waters who was also responsible (and I use that term very loosely) for (bullet list via Wikipedia):

    He also had a guest spot in the Simpsons among other things and was the creator of the film Hairspray which was later released again starring Travolta and was made into a successful stage musical. The only exposure Edith Massey really had in the mainstream, was probably the old Johnny Cougar (before he became John Cougar Mellencamp) clip for his hit song "This Time"... she was the object of his affections.

    Aah yes. Pretty Flamingo's i saw at the Astor Theatre with Polyester in '81(my god was it really that long ago!!)

    Polyester was in "smellovision"..with each ticket a scratch & smell card was given. Numbers flashed on the screen when to scratch!!!

    John Waters.....a strange person!!

    I want more development from our first year players (I believe Neeld did do some good recruiting and drafting), I want a midfield that can run out a match competitively, I want a coach that instills belief into not only our players but our whole club and most of all I want to see our club gain the respect it deserves from the football community. No more can we be the club that will easily be kicked about and bullied, we need to be the club others strive to be. I know that won't happen within a season but the next 12 months are very very important for the future of our club.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
