Writing on the wall, after 22 surgeries & interrupted  pre season, ask any fitness guru that unless u have a proper preseason  you are [censored] for the season!

Coach needs to answer as to whats happened to our defence foundations that Roos put in place, even last year we were getting scored against heavily

Why did we get rid of Kent, not that he was the difference but we are lacking goal kickers.

Letting DK go in the context of Hogan leaving and Garletts form last year was just simply foolish.

Mate, I was a member for a Zillion years before I gave up the ghost in the Neeld years! I bought a membership this year based on solid belief! Well didn't that just go straight down the toilet??

I won't go this week and possibly the rest of the year... this club bleeeds us then tantalises then just hemorrhages blood from the soul.

Time to give up the dream and play more golf!

I'm over this fiasco!

 

The faith and persistence of a picket in the fence!

Serious ly please don't try and make out you area dedicated fan.

What  crocodile tears!!  

Msny supporters  here have followed us for decades and attended 300/400 matches continuously  and you have FIVE this year and it's too much for you.

Through the tough years 13 to 16 this century We don't  need fair weather fans please play your self indulging golf game and then choose when to return when we win 3 in a row games.

Cheers and goodbye PF

I hope Sg and the whole team sit down and watch Jimmy Bartels summary of where things are going wrong in Access all Areas. 

To be honest, never watch them and only did because I was interested in the highlights of McKay - oh how I wish Weideman was showing as much promise 

Anyway I think these guys nailed it 

As a collective team we simply allow opposition players too much space and basically hope somehow to win back possession and then get the easy possession on the turnover - teams with half decent skills have worked it out and cut us to ribbons - North play a similar game style and are cr@p too. We need to try manning up a lot closer and stop playing zone defence because it just isn't working

The other points highlighted were that we constantly commit too many numbers around a contest and then when the ball gets free the opposition have players free and away they go

Our forward fifty entries are abysmal - high kicks sitting on top of our taller forwards heads which make it dead easy to spoil - worse is that fact we don't have crumbers and invariably the opposition do and clear the ball far too easily - this is shown up week after week by our disproportionate inside 50 count but terrible conversion rate 

Until we start dealing with these issues we are in for some ugly defeats 

These are the reasons we are dead easy to play against and it needs to stop now !  

Nothing is going to change. Just listen to our captains given reason for our form:

“We want to play hard footy and we want to win. We’re not doing that and as a result we’re not winning, so we’ve got to change that.”

Crack in harder and everything will be ok apparently.

Crack in hard while the opposition just sit back, wait for us to fumble and then clear it out the back with ease.

Agreed. This shows it is a coaching issue. If we get pantsed tonight...... and I believe this is going to be our biggest loss fr the year, let’s aim the criticism where is belongs.

I have a question. Is it possible to restrict Demonland to paid up members? I'm not a fan of freeloaders.

A fantastic idea. Couldn't agree more. It would certainly give me more time to enjoy life.

Only problem, after 5 years of Goodwin coaching there will only be 10 people allowed on this site.

Are we missing Peter Jackson in the CEO role?

Yes...and a Mr P. Roos somewhere else.

We were coming from such a long way back we and importantly, the list/players, needed a 7 year stint (minimum) IMHO to solidify and bed down the new winning culture / methods and work ethic before handing over the reigns.

Might have snagged a cheeky one along the way also.

P Roos will never come back near the G whilst BMac is on the payroll.

I don't blame Roos. I don't even blame BMac...he is who he is. ( But he doesn't benefit us )

Just saying

So ..Fischer's..Rossi's...Kneissl's ???

Clean disposal, negotiates traffic well, sure hands, a true boot and makes his teammates walk taller. I'd say yes.

    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.
