What a stupid thread!

If anyone posts, they care. If they don't, well, they don't.

    We've become conditioned to make excuses for them.

    We shouldn't tolerate it anymore.

    Discuss.

    I don't think that's the case at all.

    We all know this thread is just an excuse for you to try and bash Watts again, so why don't you just start up a NikNat love thread mate.

    This thread needs more Admin bashing!

    It's a fine line between excuses and reasons.

    To me, an excuse is when you partly contributed to the poor outcome. Hence, if someone has done all they can but just aren't up to it that's not an excuse. That's a reason.

    I don't think anybody who doesn't do their best would have lasted the season, surely.

    Read anyone of 10 threads running hot at the present and you'll see the performances aren't being accepted by the supporters one bit. Even better the media are bashing the performances too. Hopefully with these two groups riding their arses we may finally see the football department pull its weight.

    what the [censored] do you suggest we do?

    stop buying memberships and let the club fold? stop turning up the games and give the players less reason to play hard?

    The cull is almost upon us. Wait until after the ND, the list will look very different. I firmly believe that non-performing players are going to be moving on.

    We have been to accepting. But after that game against Meth Coke last year there was a definite shift in thinking.

    I hope it continues.

    Best Post yet.

    Agree we all "care" . One purpose of this forum is to discuss what irks.

    You've taken such an extreme anti-excuse position that you're no longer able to distinguish between a reason and an excuse.

    Discuss.

    I've had enough and demand changes, wholesale changes, radical changes ... to the list.

    Minimum 10 yo get the chop. Hopefully the maximum possible like Richmond did.

    Be merciless Neeldy. Axe these bums with extreme prejudice!

    The moderators have become too conditioned to the rubbish (and multiple threads that all come back to the same thing) RR posts on this site.

    Sounds like a troll. Smells like a troll. Tastes like a trolls. Is a troll

    They shouldn't tolerate it any more.

    Nope. I'm a Melbourne supporter and I won't tolerate inept performances anymore. Had enough.

    90 losses in the past 120 games. Enough's enough.

    Keep putting the Pressure on the Admin to get the best possible administrators from across Australia, & to get the best Footy people from Clubs with Strong Cultures of success.

    Just keep on the pressure to get it done.

    Then, what prey tell, do you intend to do about it (other than post inane comments and silly polls).

    He is doing it. Getting discussions going with members. We are shareholders of this club.

    What is inane about demanding improvement after the rubbish we have all endured this year.

    To accept quietly is inane.

    Everyone should have received the annual members survey via email last week if they get the club email updates. Can I suggest that people use that as a forum to strongly and constructively offer their ideas? I think a lot of the frustration on Demonland comes not only out of supporting an inept club but from a feeling of voicelessness and helplessness. A survey isn't going to solve everything but it's a good chance to communicate with the club.

    God... this season has really messed with your head RR. The quality of what you post has dropped tenfold and the pointless threads (which are all along the same lines) are just getting out of hand. Could you add a bit more to the discussion, like what to do about the issue you bring up? Because if you are 'demanding' big list cuts, that's unnecessary because with 11 players out of contract and talks on hold, its pretty obvious that there are going to be changes.

    And when there is a large cull, please don't claim that your endless threads and polls swayed the list management team.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
