Yes but they don't just happen because we say we want a winning culture, it happens because we play the right way as a team. Just wanting it won't make it happen

I have never said just want. I want them to DO IT. 

Not next year, i want them to do it over the next 10 weeks. 

Jobs are on the line.

We all want them to go out and just do it and win each week, but I've been talking about how we should be setting up to maximise the chance of wins in the long term. For instance should we be playing Jordy Lewis each game because he gives us a better chance of winning than say Lockhart/hore or do we give those guys a run and hope they become very important players for the future. We're not in a position to 'play the kids' because we're a young team anyway but looking at integrating personnel so they play better together for the future should hold a lot of weight.

Would like to hear what his thoughts are of our fitness conditioning coaches , have the injuries been managed correctly , players coming back too soon?  Our preseason disaster ...

good interview.  puts the acid on T Mac to stand up.  Tom is a proud man so hopefully he does something

I really like the reshuffle of the coaches and not waiting until the end of the year to make these changes.

Go Demons, give us something to cheer!

I'm sure he's had the acid put on him before this behind closed doors but it begs the question....

Why is Tom not at Casey?

Hinkley's sent Westoff back to the 2's and he's got a lot more credits than Tom.

Pyke had Jenkins in the SANFL for 5 weeks.

Is Goody too much of a players man? does he need to harden up? does Tom deserve his spot?

Who would you replace him with?

Surely, surely, not Preuss???

Goodwin really does talk a lot of club spin, it’s actually sickening, I’m still not convinced he is a good game day coach, but at least he says nice things. Pressure is on, and you can see that.

Play to win. Pick the best players in form. 

Building a winning culture will take care of the future. 

If Lewis is in form pick him

Just as well it wasn't up to me 'jumbo'...

I couldn't be happier to see Tommy turn his game around today.

In his own words made mistakes early but then things started working for him...

In my words he got to a lot more balls, was running more and working harder and it finally paid off.

Well done Tommy...well done Goody for putting the acid on him.

    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
