Leave Spargo, do not sign another contract, nothing good is coming for this group

I am very very close to walking from this club, not to another but away from the sport. I can not do another rebuild under another coach. 

I am a member of Storm and Victory.  It’s uplifting.  You expect to win, not be ‘frustrated, disappointed, gutted’ all the time.  Storm and Victory have game plans. Goodwin has neither

13 to 6 inside 50s.

1.3 to 3.2 for the quarter.

Not many gameplans work when you don’t tackle and pressure and can’t kick simple goals. 

Players to blame

Time in forward half this quarter 82% Melb, 18% Ess. Result 1.3 us, 3.1 them!

I would not be surprised if we are the least efficient team in the AFL (or very close to it) at scoring from inside 50 entries and conversions at goal.

This is a team bereft of confidence.

They are trying to operate under a structure and with a system that is complete rubbish.

We all know that the talent isn't this bad.

No wonder our skills and decision making is poor.

It’s obvious that they don’t believe in the coach and the game plan.

It seems when rookies come into our side they instinctively know where to be inside forward 50, then after a few weeks they become more and more indecisive and caught out of position. Is this a coaching issue whereby rather than allow instincts to dictate position the players are instructed to be somewhere which goes against their natural instinct?

Spargo. Shining light. They have not had the chance to ‘coach’ him out of energised footy. Stay impulsive and aggressive young man. 

Dont worry Spirit This group will F5*K him right up only a matter of time

Yes that’s my point. We teach anxiety and indecisive footy. Run, entertain and attack attack.

In a perverted way I don't mind losing this one as in reality it means season over and then they might relax and try to play some decent football.... coach very much included

Well done Melksham!  Finally a target inside 50!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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
