I have been a long time viewer of Demonland Forum's however untill now have never felt a need to sign up and put something out there. Unfortunitly after saturdays disgraceful performance I feel the need to get some things off my chest to some fellow demon members.
If you look at the clubs who have dominated the comp in recent years they have had strong uncomprimising people in all of their key roles. The pies have Eddie, Mick and Nick Maxwell (I dont rate him as a player but he bleeds for his jumper), the cats had Costa, Thompson and Harly, the hawks have Kennett, Clarko and Hodge/Mitchell. These blokes are all hard tough straight talkers.
Jimmy aside, all our key roles are occupied by people who are unable to push the cause when the chips are done. Let's take the Tom Scully situation, I love the kid but he should have been given a deadline to decide what he wants to do, we are not geelong, and we are not able to get to a prelim final with this amount of media on one of our key players. When Robinson stated we played bruise free footy the reaction from our footy department leaders was weak and poor. If that was said about the Pies Mick and Nick Maxwell would have been on the front foot making sure Robinson new he was going to be in the gun next time around. If our leadership group was more worried about putting their head over the footy instead of just lifting stacks of weights and looking tough (Col Sylvia that's u) then maybe Jordie Mac, Jack Trengrove, Jack Watts and the other younsters wouldnt have to keep getting their heads bashed in trying to get the footy.
The one thing Baily got right this weekend was when he said we took some massive steps backwards, saturday's performance has put us back 10 years...
Chers from a very disgruntled, shocked and Unhappy demon supporter who is sick off sh$t House performances like saturday from the footy club he loves
