Melbourne Supporters Are Too Accepting of Player Non-Performance

What a stupid thread!

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

Discuss yourself.

We've become conditioned to make excuses for them.

We shouldn't tolerate it anymore.

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


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.

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!

What?

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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
