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).

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
