I can honestly say I've never given it a nano seconds thought. Do you often reflect on how you're perceived by others ? Even anonymous internet nuffies ?

But I do note that you're quoting yourself in the third person in your last paragraph. Oh dear.

How have you not seen me do that before? You have been here in various forms for a decade.

And I am never offended by perceptions from anonymous, yet attributal, posters on forums.

But I don't see the harm in pointing out that those perceptions 'run the gamut' from obsequious sycophant of the MFC Administration to a vile upstart keen on maligning those in that Administration...

My round-about point is that you cannot judge someone by whatver that person has just said. Reading a book by the last page you read, as it were.

Anyway, what were we talking about?

If articles are going to be written about opinions from unverified sources, the author may as well just write an editorial.

Anyone can sign up to a forum and write anything, to push any point of view.

Even the article author could do that to set an agenda.

It worries me when I think of the possibly that some of posters on this site who do have their own agendas could be quoted.

Especially this season.

The term "the vocal minority" comes to mind.

(yes, I am aware of the irony).

What is reality anyway :)

But that happens on any level. People have agendas. Demonland is no different. It doesn't take long to see a particular slant.

The same people could also raise agendas at the AGM.

Demonland does give a fairly wide choice of view.

I have a bad habit of quickly skimming most posts. It's rare that I read one in depth.

It's all I can put it down to.

Clearly you've picked up that habit as a means of coping with your unneccessarily long and boring biopic. At least you learned more than me from that film.

On topic - if a player can't cop a serve from a coach he should go back to Auskick.

Keep up the banter it does divert from some of the more painful aspects of supporting the DEES.

    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.

    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.
