I must say I've read worse on here, there has been a bit of abuse but I don't think it's been over the top.

Maybe I missed some posts or they were deleted but it's not the worst thread ever.

I'm sorry those who were insulted because they were over weight, happened to read the comments, it must have been hurtful. I guess it shows that you have to watch your tongue.

I always thought the best thing about supporting the dees was that it didn't matter if you were male, female, short, fat, young, old, tall, skinny, black, white, yellow, missing limbs or brain cells, rich or poor that if your heart beat red and blue then you were part of the club.

I think that's a prerequisite.

Thanks guys - my Ian Zering as Development Coach post is drifting out of the top 10 worst posts.

Seriously, some of the [censored]-for-tat personal attacks on here undermine us as a supporter base. Im all for a good debate but FFS play the ball and not the man.

Do as you please, people are just making cheap shots for a laugh, they don't mean you any harm, you seem to agree with the statements in regard to your physique, next step is to not worry about the comments, you joined this site for a reason, don't over react, stay onboard

Bringing in the Sheep Dear Lord.

What a unifying presence you are for us all.

Words of wisdom as usual Lord. I've been off this site for a day or two (zen sabbatical with the lads) and it seems I've missed a personal abuse thread - disappointing.

Lucky you weren't mentioned on here in the portly category.

The guy who copped it here for carrying a bit had cancer drugs as an excuse.

I'm afraid "all the Shiraz stocks are being drunk by the Chinese nouveau riche and there will be none left for me" is not an excuse anymore.

Man is not a camel passing through the eye of a needle.

One often needs a bracing ale to fight the evils of this world.Often.

Maybe we should consider drafting a ruckman who is not always injured or in a "special" group during preseason.

More of the onus to keep fit needs to be put back on these players.

I don't expect bigger players to be outsprinting or out distancing small midfielders but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they need to do the hard yards more consistently without all this moonboot, walking laps, jogging 1/2 laps, catching rebounded tennis balls sort of stuff every year.

The harder they work, the luckier they will get !

Steam, TD.

Sensational drop.

Good work McQueen! Don't get me wrong I like the Hightale also, but you can only have so much of it. Where you can have a good long night on the steam!

Brilliant brewery that place is in Richmond.

Bless you all...now if I could only get my [censored] quote button to work

My internet explorer 10 updated to IE 11 and I lost my quote capacity so I deleted IE 11 and went back to IE 10 and the problem went away.

If you don't know how to change back go onto Google and it will tell you what to do.

I know i have "resigned" from this forum, but reflecting on it i think i owe a further explanation since some here think i am a bit thin skinned and why i was so annoyed by this thread.

I confess Ben_Hur, Twas I.

Three weeks ago i had a serious operation at PeterMacClinic (incidentally a world class hospital with fantastic caring people). As a result of the drugs i needed to take pre-op i put on 15kgs. Since the op, which at the moment seems successful, through strict dieting and exercising (yes bike riding mainly) i have taken off half that. I currently am losing about 3 kgs a week and in 3-4 weeks i expect to be down to the correct weight for a 6'3" 60 year old which is 95kg. At the moment i am overweight. I should not have ridden to training in my old lycra gear ( but i did not expect the fashion police at an early season training session for christ sake, and which will fit me again in three weeks), but you understand bike riding is a key part of my physical recovery - seeing the Demons prosper is a key part of my mental recovery.

This is the last time you will hear from me on this subject. I hope those who were so rude about this, might as a result of my explanation be a bit more nuanced in the future, and think some people might not be as bogan as themselves.

To be fair in all this The Master was commenting on some public bystanders at training. I am not sure he suspected that they would all be Demondlanders. He has been caught out and should have guessed that if you are watching us train at this time of year, the chances are you will be a Demonlander. Oh well there you go, no excuse really but he has been a bit stiff.

By the way is the Master a well known time lord? That may explain a lot of this.

Firstly, I love that this site censors the word T1T. Hilarious.

Secondly, apart from those couple of people who are having it hung on them when they are going through difficult personal circumstances, the rest of you petals need to (1) settle and (2) climb down off those high horses.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
