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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
