No frigging idea what you're talking about or what it had to do with 2006.

Don't reply though.  It's a bore. 

OK, I get it, you're just wanting to draw attention to yourself, not discuss the issue.

Carry on.

Hawthorn Port and Richmond game we were practically ahead the whole game so I am not sure what leadership needed to do to turn the tide. Against Gold Coast Jack Watts stood up and won the game for us.

And all 3 of those sides put the heat on us and challanged us during the game. All of our leaders in Viney Jones Gawn and McDonald played a big part in steering the ship back on track. 

You could also throw in the GWS game where we were 20 odd points down in the last and Gawn Jones and Viney got us back on top to win the game through the middle.

Your quick to lay the boot into Nathan Jones and our leadership group but never hear a hint of appreciation when they win us big games against the GWS Hawthorns and Collingwoods.

I literally didn't understand your post.

If it was relevant or coherent it escaped me.

Maybe read it again, consider why you particularly responded to me and reword it.

Attitude...Which has been a problem in the shadows of the club for Decades. 

Roosy has done a magnificent job. I only wish we had him another 2 years. Goodwin better be one mentally strong guy

So this is a decades old attitude problem and not a lack of onfield leadership in what is a terribly young group ?

I thought it might have been that we only had 4 x 100 game players, including a 23 year old in McDonald. 

Instead I should have realised they were channeling 50 years of mediocrity.

Surely by now you realise the futility in this type of engagement.

Yes.  

I have a bit more time on my hands for the next couple of weeks, hence being more active than usual.

But I'm fully cognisant that not one word I say will resonate with the hand-wringers.

Oh poor positive Pete is no one taking notice of you?

Well I will go back and re read your posts.

Feel better?

Mate, I couldn't care what you or anyone else on here thinks.

I just like arguing.

It's a combination of both PD. You know i have been talking about Leadership all year

But i am also convinced psychology plays a part as well. This club has been kicked so many times since Norm left, repeatedly. 

If we had lost a nail biting shootout against Carlscum i can deal with that. 

But we didn't turn up...

More time than usual? That can't be a good thing for Demonland, Ben.

Potentially, yes. But I find nothing wakes me up in the morning better than a dose of sheer arrogance.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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
