I tipped that. All that glitters...

Firstly I want to say that the administrators do a thankless task in keeping in top of the feral demon masses on this site. There must be more billion bush-lawyers per Kilobyte on here than you would find in any petrie dish.

Secondly (takes breath) I can't help but notice that one of the Admin's threw a t**d at a poster last night which seemed to me to be the same personal abuse that the pinned thread targets. TPM's Mike Williamsonism was certainly less offensive than Nasher's dessert offering which followed.

Sometimes the same armchair expert hogs the commentaries on here with their 3000 plus posts, week after week, month after month, and we have to suffer this chest thumping. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! (And I don't mean Nasher).

As for the ex-coach, I admit was I taken in by his glittering Joffa Jacket and his Johny Beckwith hit-the -boundary expressway to Nirvannah. He walks away with the most massive $$$ handshake whilst we supporters of 40 years or more get emails from the club to renew our memberships torn up post MN's tenure.

What a pathetic little offering this OP is. Got a problem with a mod? Write a PM you [censored] and stop being a self indulgent, self righteous attention seeking individual that you are.

If you're a mod and you take the job seriously you're forced to read through reams and reams of brainless crap day after day after day and what do you get for your efforts.

This sort of shyte.

Get a life Bush Demon, Really, haven't you got something better to do?

No wonder I resigned as a mod. FM.

i've been on the receiving end of a couple of mods from this place in the past, but to be blatantly truthful I completely deserved if because I was pushing their buttons. These guys don't respond like that unless it's for a good reason, normally it's because someone's been an absolute [censored]. When someone who is constantly crossing the decency line suddenly cries foul when they get an awesome return of serve it's called having a glass jaw. If you're going to step in the ring and start throwing hay makers then be prepared to duck and weave.

No sympathy but thanks for highlighting an awesome post from nasher

Oh well we get over the Admin comments.

Not sure the reason they closed that thread but hey thats life.

As for what we may say in DL, well that their right as its a forum. People may agree or may not but its their right to do so.

So not sure what the point of this thread is but assume it will be closed soon.

Hey Baghdad Bob

You didn't even read my post, but reading yours I would say you fall into the category of ten million posters who think they know it all and stand back for your cheer squad to applaud. I started out by acknowledging the role of the ADmins and made a point of not sledging Nasher - but this 'get a life' line itself needs to be locked i would say. why don't you go and google 'get a life' and find yourself a niche bob. I won't return serve on this offering but i'm sure your mates or yourself have typing finger at the ready. BD

He certainly did read your glib offering and he is spot on.

The work of people like Nasher on this site goes unthanked and not recognised fully.

Its a petty mindset that starts a thread like this. If you have an issue then you should have PMed the mod or reported it.

Pathetic thread. The mods should close it.

I suggest you try your own medicine with Google and I hope it works.

This coming from one of the worst posters to ever grace this site.

Bush Demon, I've been an administrator of this site for 8 years and a member for 11. I like to think that for the most part during that time that I've been relatively civil and set a decent example. I am also a human being and sometimes I also just want to say what is on my mind. Boorish chest beating agitates me and all that thread was about was TPM giving himself a soapbox to stand on to tell us about how wrong we were and what a genius is. Threads like that have no place here and it deserved to be shut down. I also let slip how I felt about it in my response - probably not my best ever judgement, but again, I'm only human.

I think people need to lighten the [censored] up. I think the rules are there for a reason. Ive even been warned about stepping over the lines but they are there for a reason. Keep up the good work mods

If I was you I would not loss any sleep over this issue.

Its a free forum where mods/admin would volunteer their time.

Does anything more need to be said?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
