Enough is Enough!!!

:angry: As my heading states enough is enough! I know its only round one but what I witnessed on Friday nite was the same manner that we have been lossing since Daniher arrived in 1998. The team leaders continue to go missing when it gets tough and their mental toughnes still remains an issue. We continue to hear the same old excuses from Daniher but yet nothing changes year in year out but yet our list of players has changed what is the problem? Is it the fact our current crop of so called leaders Yze, Green, Bruce, Robertson, Johnstone are not good leaders? Or maybey the fact that Daniher style or methods are just not working with these group of players anymore. Our skill level of players as demonstrated can be very good however I just dont think that daniher can get the boys up to play when it counts. We have a small window open to maybey win a premiership with these players and I along with many other members have had enough of seeing and hearing the same old excuses from Daniher. I really think its time for a change after 10 years with some fresh ideas and a new face for these players because it just seems that nothing changes year in year out. The last three years the players have blown finishing top four and the mental toughness cannot be fixed within the team and Daniher just cant seem to stop the slide.

Gerard Healy mentioned the same thing this afternoon when asked.

He said that the Demons would not be able to sustain that game plan all year and actually win.

He said something had to change and fast.

But he also said that if it did he had no doubt we would make the eight.

To be honest, the saints were not that good. We were 2 men down, and many of our key players had stinkers. Add in a poor game plan (over using the ball via hand) and a stinker with the umps and you have the formula for a sour defeat.

A change of plan , 2 fresh players in the rotation, and an increase of work from some top tier players and we should have a formula to win.

We're more likely to win a premiership in 4+ years than in the next few. Our backline is suspect and key backs don't grow on trees. We also lack a decent ruck duo, with White on the decline and Jamar/PJ looking like they'll be decent at best.

I a gree Daniher has not got what it takes to get them across the line. the list at the moment is proberly the best its everbeen with all the talent and yet we play stupid football The time is now no excuses 10 years and he wants more . What happens when neitz, white, yze,bizzel retire then we will all hear we're in a rebuilding phase 5year plan AGAIN.This season so far seams to be the game plan of Neil Balme just before he was sacked. It makes me sick to watch crap like friday's game go b ack to attacking footy and having a fairdinkin crack. IT'S TIME TO DELIVER DANIHER OR GET OUT AND LET SOMEONE WHO CAN. :angry:

Its all about having that killer instinct. As long as we dont have it we will never be good enough. I dont know whether its a club culture thing or a coach thing but time and time again we give it up with out a wimper. So many times you can tell in the first 15 mins that we are in deep [censored], and none of our leaders stand up and scream THIS ISNOT GOOD ENOUGH. even playing the [censored] teams your never comferdent because you never know what state of mind the players will be in but you know damn well the oppasition will be coming hard as nails coase they know how fradgile we can be. This leaves us vunerable at the best of times,re-carlton last year and several other [censored] teams in previous years, not to mention melt downs late in the year when they look like success is a bad thing. If we stayed in the right frame of mind for a large part of each game our talent would over come many a good side. Isnt this why we play competative sport in the first place, to be desperate enough to beat the oppistion,

Interesting first round - the teams that over possess lose more often - players drilled not to kick to a contest and therefore look to lay off to a loose player. The more times you touch it the more chances you have to stuff it up. Ask Melbourne, Richmond, Hawthorn, Kangaroos and Freeo for that matter.

Given the new rules about no hands in the back, I think the long kick to a one on one or over the pack to a run on (like Pagan's paddock) will come back in.

I might be old fashioned but give me a simple game plan - and one that doesn't have our players (who aren't as skilled as the top four clubs) over possessing.

Remember it's only round 1

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
