......cheap shots for a laugh..............

Ben-Hur & Master, you're two intelligent people and the stuff you've said here is beneath you. I hope that you're young and will one day understand that upsetting people is not funny.

 

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.

try this mr weaver - quote

 

I have a keg in the fridge outside that will do me nicely Biffen, I enjoy a tipple like your good self, of course in moderation

Thankyou DC, I am aware of such sites....strangely....

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.

Your verse suggests some intelligence Biffen, continue with your good work

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 !

Thankyou DC, I am aware of such sites....strangely....

no probs mr weaver........do i get my absolution now?

Have you sinned my son?


I trust you have otherwise leave now

Maybe Howie would like Pablo's adoration....

Like....a lot. Keep raising the bar on here H, it needs it.

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.

This thread has shown the worst of demonland

First and last time I start a training thread.

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.

Is that what this threads about. Bit off course.

 

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.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
