Melbourne Supporters Are Too Accepting of Player Non-Performance

[Range Rover 1,935]

We've become conditioned to make excuses for them.

We shouldn't tolerate it anymore.

What a stupid thread!

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

Discuss yourself.

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.

I sense some animosity towards Range Rover

Good pickup.

This thread needs more Admin bashing!

[mrtwister 652]

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.

RR maybe some more depth to your argument, they are all very shallow.

[Arrow 1,257]

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.

[Sir Why You Little 37,034]

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.

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.

Tastes like a troll.

Melbourne supporters are too accepting of cannibalism.

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.
