What's wrong CFB, afraid optimism might be contagious, you don't have to read the posts or post yourself, it must be really satisfying in a strange sort of way to be so negative about everything.

Although I do admire your many references to pop culture, you obviously fill your waking hours expanding yourself

There's a difference between optimism and delusion and you my friend are all hepped up on the kool aid.

It's usually a battle of wits with unarmed men, but hey, I find it entertaining, got to try and keep the Demonland Orcs under control, thought you would have WYL chortling alongside you, hasn't got the bottle to take me on by himself

If you need a way to fill the hours getting a job would be more productive instead of just racking up thousands of posts on here every day trying to do your best impersonation of the Iraqi defence minister.

SCH, is 100% a troll. This one of the most if not the most visited non official AFL sites on the web and the club is a basketcase, perfect opportunity for a troll with little to do in his life to come and work people up who are already extremely worked up for obvious reasons. I hate to say it but this place is a haven for trolls they dream of forums like this.

I think someone has actually validated that, yes, he is a volunteer at the club. Any confirmations?

He's no troll. He’s a passionate dees man like the rest of us. Actually he could probably argue that he is more actively passionate than some of us as he attends trainings, B&F nights, he is best mates with every one of the players (just ask him.... actually dont ask him and he'll tell you anyway!)......

Problem is, he seems to have no capacity for forming his own opinions on the current plight of the club. Furthermore the extent of his analysis of the palyers in our squad is limited to platitudes regurgited from Matt Burgan’s weekly puff pieces.

Next time I make the trip over to Victoria to watch a game at the ‘G, i’ll be keeping an eye out for a special bloke wearing #39 on his gurnsey, cheering the Dees on like they’ve won the last 10 flags in a row.

I think he may believe we have!

He occasionally attends the Monday/Tuesday ring around team. Spends the rest of the time coattailing anyone in red and blue who may be hanging around the MCG, AAMI park or Gosch's paddock. Been known to attend the odd training session where he can hang on every word any member of the FD cares to throw at him. He knows it's all gospel.

He knows we've got the best coaches, the best board led by a great and charismatic president who's (pun intended) inclusivity and love of the club's supporters is legendary.

All in all - the club's in a great state - we are all deluded (or brainwashed by certain members of the media), And finals are just around the corner.

Satty (or whoey, or whatever name he chooses next) always knows more than the rest of us - and he's always right.

I think the next statue outside the 'G should be of him.

I attend BDSM nights. Does that make me a passionate supporter?

OK, I can accept DemonWA's explanation, but someone needs to counsel SAT about his comments, because they are not helpful to MFC's current predicament and they take away from Demonlanders' genuine concerns for the Club - I would like to think that we are all passionate supporters of MFC regardless of our differences of opinion at times.

Watching tonights game just makes me very angry with the last 6 years.

We were ALL Conned.

How were we able to get so bad? What the hell went on inside the place?

Is half our list ruined?

I agree mate, I see highly skilled, intelligent footballers that think their way through the passage of play and don't just throw it on the boot. Their mistakes don't turn into goals either! That's what hurts me the most!. I was talking to a mate from work today who is a die hard Blues fan, he reckons the Blues tanked at the right time (admits it) The Dee's have been punished by GCFC and GWS (the rant came from no where, my bad) Edited by BrisbaneDemon

Tanking was never right for the MFC. We had to learn the hard way.

But the powers that be thought differently, and all the money WE donated has been blown.

It's a shame we members didn't crack it hard after 186, but i was in shock so i suppose a lot of others were too.

Collingwood are playing like Melbourne, Sydney on the other hand sprint, and then they sprint some more and if in doubt they sprint. It's not complicated.

I know. That is why i am angry.

It shouldn't take 2 years + to teach this. Not when they train all week.

Friday night games frustrate me also. They continually serve to show how far away from being a decent team we are. It's like we are in Bizzaro world and the real teams are in an entirely different reality.

Yep i feel the same. We are disconnected from the League we started.

What the hell was CS doing!!

I spoke to him a few times. I really enjoyed those talks, but they were all garbage...His template has killed our list.

I agree with a lot of the comments re tonight's game and MFC's game, but two points for consideration:

1 tonight is ugly football lacking in skill, which a team like Geelong will rip apart in finals (ignore last week, these things happen)

2 why are the Pies allowed to get away with blocking the player on the mark (perhaps the 5 metre zone should apply here as well)

The Swans spread beautifully in the 2nd Quarter, they just sprayed shots.

The Filth are ordinary. I enjoy watching ugly footy if its tight. Its a tough game.

Watch the 90 Elimination. I would love to see the Demons play like that again.

Pre-season most teams train in a similar manner. We have Misson, Craig and Neeld all who have been at successful clubs and yet we play like we come from another planet.

I agree, this should not take 2 plus years to play watchable football, I just can't help think Neeld can't coach. Surely our players are not this dumb?

I agree with your comment on the Swans spread WYL, but the hand and foot skills of both teams are very average cf Geelong.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
