  1. Selwyn worked under Burgess in 21, so I assuming he would have continued with his fitness program, but lets hope the club reviews this and if he points to him he should go.
  2. Selwyn Griffiths worked under Burgess before taking over so would think he continued his programme/strategy, all 7 inc 2x finals losses were the same, lead at 1/2 time by 20+ and got over run and would great to get feedback as to why, though don't hold your breath as clubs would never disclose this depth of detail.
  3. Since 10-0 we have lost 7 games inc 2 x Finals after leading at 1/2 time and have faded out in the second half badly, either Burgess leaving & Griffiths who worked under him threw out his programme or the players just decided can climb the mountain again. Goodwin faith in his players and not making any changes after the swans loss and taking in injured players clearer backfired and seeing some of the talent in Casey highlighted we need some fresh injury free players to change it up e.g. Chandler, Dustan, Bedford, Van Rooyen , whilst couldn't play all of them but at least 2 changes were needed & some new spark in the Fwd line. The missed opportunities going forward and missed kicks to nothing or to a contest having free players available was a joke & summed up our finals! Lets hope this group don't fizzle away and just hang around finals

    not sure how you can play all 3 Gawn, Grundy & Jackson if he stays.
  5. We could finish as high as 2nd pending % either host the swans or at the scg, lose & finish 6th then play the tigers.. Those loses may come back to haunt them!
  6. Positive we found a way to win after losing the lead. Concern is our method going into FW50 hasn't changed with continued bombing and not lowering their eyes!

    Perhaps its the weight of the premiership medals?? Not abnormal but just maybe not able to push that extra to climb the mountain again??
  8. Part of the issue with continued high bombs & not lowering their eyes
  9. Lynch Or Cameron wouldn't have made the difference, we continue to bomb it long & high & creating intercept marks for their defence, need to lower their eyes as many free players ignored.
  10. Numbers don't lie...... 8 v18 fw50 tackles BB, Spargo, Pickett 1 tackle between them! Lever, Rivers, Sparrow zero tackles! Have some serious fwd half pressure and keeping the ball in and the ability to back it up weekly from the Freo & Lions game, rated 17th for pressure acts. Not sure they will be able to fix this come finals time & may even drop out of top 4!
  11. Ask the players & members/supporters watching us lose by 80,100,148 points with 2 wins & % of 50 how great it was!
  12. Sums it up....is attitude or fitness??

    Yes we are good side but the reality is we keep given up 20+ point leads and have lost 4 games in the same fashion We will be going in as underdogs against all the remaining games against top 8 teams & will be lucky to win 1-2 of them based on current form.

    Something is off.....they can't hold onto leads and have lost 4 games, even against the crows they took foot off the pedal and also against bottom teams. Fitness or Attitude?
  15. Demonsone replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Our form isn't great and have lost 4 games when leading by 20+ points, is it Fitness or Attitude?? Will be very surprised if we make top 4 now and possibly lose our next 4 games to top 8 teams
  16. Their method is an issue and continued bombing to nobody, need to lower their eyes and play lower kicks into the fwd line, the opposition try this to counter intercept marking by May & Lever!
  17. Have been run over by teams last 3 weeks after leading by 20+ points in all 3 games is this fitness or mindset?? We are thin on tall defenders and have lost a defender each game & today lost Turner & Petty off the ground for 20min & Gawn on & off twice with a bad ankle yet we have smalls for subs??? Our pressure acts currently ranked 17th to 1st in 2021 surely this is mindset?? M Brown over Weids who is our future???
  18. Nothing against M Brown but if Weids can't get a game whats that saying about Weids??? Gotta rely on B Brown and Fritch to kick a few each and supported by the smalls inc Trac
  19. Didn't take long for the Demons of old to be back in the news for the wrong reasons, when you include the text messages BS of ex & current presidents! The Momentum video of breaking the drought when Gawn is talking about how they changed they way the players spoke to each other professionally and making a commitment to each other,which helped change the culture is a slap in the face from May! Going on past history most supporters will be fearing how the season will unfold. Not sure why Goody hasn't addressed this with the media and is waiting until Friday presser, so its dragged on for the whole week.
  20. Unbelievable and suggest his tummy is full after winning a flag, they say handling success is more difficult than handling no success! Concern is will the supporters get back to seeing the Demons of old again??
  21. Demonsone replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Expect 6-8 weeks
  22. Dunstant you have come to a club were you can just be yourself and do it your way......
  23. Has Barassi been interviewed since the premiership win, would be great to see his reaction.
  24. Amazing, unbelievable, Tears of joy to finally watch the Demos win a Flag!!! The joy of watching a Flag with my 23yo son who cried his eyes out and not have him say why did you make follow the MFC & not wait for 50years like his dad! The planets lined up 57 year drought, Im 57, Norm Smith died at 57, we kicked 57 points in the last qtr! The score after Brayshaw goal in the 3rd qtr was 9 10 64...thats spooky The ghosts of 87,88 & 2000 buried!
  25. Burgess & fitness staff will have a plan in place to ensure hardness is there, we are having a tough hit out & dogs are not as need to recover so can work both ways....
