No one is going to take this thread seriously WJ. It's a Range Rover poll after all.

    Folks, I have no intention of voting on this poll and I understand that it's most likely being treated in light hearted spirit but some of you should have a think about what you're doing here. Punching people in the head is a violent act and we shouldn't condone it.

    The thread is straddling the line of unacceptability. Any further and it gets closed down.

    Happy to hear other views on this.

    Thanks.

    Ok, replace "punchable head" with "the person I would most like to..." followed by "throw a shoe at', "throw a cream pie at", "egg", "melvin" etc etc?

    Id be very surprised if the tongue-in-cheek nature of the poll is lost on anyone, WJ. The poll title and Mike Tyson pic just adds a bit of harmless shock value and hopefully a bit of comedy to proceedings. As long as there's no nastiness or base abuse surely it's okay to throw a few metaphorical cream pies at the head-wobbling 'elite' of the footy 'industry.

    Dees fans deserve a chance to throw a few harmless 'cut lunches' back at some of these people. All in good fun.

    Poll update. Looks like it's Caro and Mitch Robinson neck and neck. Or should that be neck and neck-less?

    WJ i could not agree more. I would support locking the thread. To my mind the thread (and the other one it is based on) is in breach of the Code of Conduct.

    Violence against women is heinous and is a huge issues in our society. There have been any number of young men who have been killed or received serious life changing injuries as a result of king hits (and some older blokes - David Hookes being just one tragic example).

    This thread may well be jocular in nature but joking about violence trivializes and normalizes it. It help create an environment where violence is acceptable, where it is ok

    Forty years ago making racist jokes was fair game (and of course reflective of a racist country) - just joking, if you take offence you're just PC blah blah blah. This is not the case any more and one would hope would no longer be the case with violence. I wonder if people think it is funny to joke about Ricky Nixon and his assault on his ex partner?

    If the poll is actually about who is least liked why not make it about who is least liked? Why tie it to violence and allow a forum for people to make stupid jokes about mindless violence?

    From someone (me) who has been king hit from behind in a public place, I don't take any offence to the thread. I think it needs to be taken in the spirit of fun that it's mean't to be. It's given me a few good laughs, one of RR's better efforts.

    Add binman to the poll. And roundhouse kick as the striking option.

    as the head has been declared sacrosanct, i suggest the word "head" in the title be changed to "groin"

    that should solve any objections

    and to further clarify/appease how about "

    "The Most Non-Lethal-Punchable Groin in the AFL"

    Still too violent.

    How about something a little less offensive, like "Who would you most like Brock McLean to pass AIDS onto?"

    PHEW dont want to be included on the list BUT I agree with most of Bin Man comments.

    Probably just wouldn't close it down at it does provide an outlet for repressed feelings and may even have some value.

    Would prefer a more jocular title like "who would you most like to fart in the general direction of" (thanks Monty Python)if that is the jocular intention of the poll, although even that may offend people.

    Or as bin man suggests "who is least liked" as that does seem to be the real intent of the poll.

    I've decided to go for the Pie in the Face option - and you can add me as a contender if you think I've spoiled your fun :wub:

    I do understand completely that there was no malice meant in the original name and that it was all a bit of fun but I think we do have to acknowledge that for victims of violence, particularly against women, punches in the head are not fun.

    Of course, The Ox who has a big role to play at the weekend might have something to say about pies in the face but that's what swayed me to the Pie in the Face option in the first place.

    If our football team can concentrate its aggression at the football and its opponent on Sunday in the same way that The Ox focused his aggression on that jerk Newman on TFS all those years ago, I just reckon we might win Round One and thereby stick it up some of those critics for who some out of date and off creamy custard on their noggins is well overdue.

    Looks OK to me.

    You realise that if RR replaces the Mike Tyson pic in the OP with this banana custard pie, it could swing the entire poll in favour of Voldemort.

    And if not him then surely his Dad

    the conservative nature of the MFC has caused us to lose our extroverted passion, of having a fun natured old fashioned poke at someone.

    to put the brakes on the likes of this is to sit quietly in the stands whilst the opposition run all over us.

    If you can't stand the passion & irreverence, then don't bother reading this topic.

    Put yourself on a self imposed ban of this thread.

    Hold on here..... the AFL has firmly stated that there are to be no jokes involved ever in relation to football clubs. I am deeply concerned that everyone who has posted on this thread will cop a 12 month ban and Demonland will cop a $500,000 fine as the organisation that has allowed a joke to be put in place. If Adrian Anderson saw this we'd all be in trouble.... Actually was he on the list - can I vote twice for AA even though he has been already been sent to the Siberian salt mines?

    Very surprised at the low vote of Dwayne Russell. Surely there are others who recognize his contribution to all knowing smugness?

    Forget his smugness. He gets my vote for his awful, awful, awful commentary.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
