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: Monday 16th December 2024

    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.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
