Post Match Discussion - Round 16


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Despite Saty's trolling on matters like these, I really do appreciate his training reports and I don't believe he has much to gain by warping the truth around training and what players might be saying or doing. They usually align with the reports of other posters anyway.

i think satyr means well but i take his info with a grain of salt.

His delusional stance on how good our list is only strengthens my resolve to pay his observations the respect they deserve.

No it's entertainment when I am bored at work, some of the comments on players, makes me wonder if some posters when at the G know to face the green bit!

i suspect many of them rarely go to the footy. Remember all those on here who said Tom couch was the next MFC hero?

Byrnes is a two time premiership player, so he is AFL standard, he has the medals, do you?............not was....in your opinion he is past it, so it must be right, is that correct.......numerous posters comment that certain players will not take us forward as a club, how do they know, are these the same posters who declared Gysberts a champion in the making, if you go back I think you will find some are

Get a few wrong, that is laughable, Pedersen and Dunn spring to mind straightway, there is a small novel on Lynden Dunn on here and what a spud he was/is

Gee, let me think, does Demonland mean that much to me in my life that I will be shattered if I am blocked by a couple of keyboard heroes......er no...it's a footy forum where you can come for a bit of entertainment now and again.....not much to do in work today, so yippee away we go

I will now go away and do a Bart Simpson, and on the whiteboard in my workspace " our list is nothing but duds, Demonland told me so"

You completely missed the point again. Wow, you are pigheaded.

Damn it.

Saw the 'new posts' sign next to this thread. Thought maybe there had been some discussion about our match the other day.

I should know better.

we were well beaten by a much better side.

No we don't - that's the one thing we have excelled at this year. We have shaved masses off the "against" column because we haven't let the opposition team own the corridor and as Roos has pointed out - we have mostly made other times take shots from "difficult places."

Two thing need to improve.

- Our midfield has taken massive steps forward from last year - but we still need to be much better.

- our entries in the forward line need to improve.

I believe both will come - through drafting/trading and continued Roos guidance.

Ok, fair point. But there was a noticeable drop off in that last week, as well as the past couple of games

There is one difference between me and a lot of other posters, I keep my opinions on players to myself, I am not delusional WYL, it just saves me changing my stance on a player every five or six games, or the next defeat..........delusional, a common word used by posters to highlight another posters mindset because they do not agree with the standard Demonland opinion, which of course may or may not be correct

The old saying Saty, you're only as good as your last game.

It's interesting I think there is a difference between taking a stance on a player and being critical of something a player does, Jack Grimes is a perfect example, I rate him as a player/leader, love his courage, workrate, does the team things, reminds me a little of corey Enright

but he makes some horrible decisions at times and posters only see those, they don't look at perhaps at that contest he was the only player who worked hard enough to get the ball in the first place.

but I really don't think criticism is a bad thing, obviously when you are a bottom four side there are going to be some players that need to be moved on, the team is going to have flaws and so on

but you ARE delusional mate.

During Mark Neeld's time everything was fine.

If anyone questioned that or disagreed you jumped down their throat. With the current list the same applies.

I don't change my opinions on the running of this club every 6 weeks. I call it as i see it.

The list is so far off September action it is laughable. We have wasted so many draft picks with the previous regime.

They recruited the wrong type of player.

If you cannot see that then you are delusional

Pure and simple.

I have more in my life than to continually bleat on about it though, this topic was about post match discussion, as per the norm, after a defeat, the usual suspects turned it into player/recruiter/anything remotely associated with MFC bashing

You continually misquote me on previous eras, if you go back and re read, you will see I continually said that the Club was looking at sorting out the issues, until that time, constant bleating was achieving nothing apart from raising the bleaters blood pressure...........the issues were fixed

Last week was a poor team display, Roos, the media, Demonland posters all agree with this, as I have stated before, as a team we are exactly where I thought we would be at this stage of the season, is that being delusional?, nope realistic. I know there wil be changes, but last time I looked I wasn't member of the Footy Dept so I have no idea what they will be, I can surmise and put forward a list of who I think it will be, without adding the normal 'spud' hyperbole

As I have said before, I constantly find it amazing that the posters who continually whinge about everything about the Club, continue to support it.........I don't know why they bother if it brings such misery/anger/despair etc

I agree with what you are saying here, apart from the bolded.

This is true in some cases but not all, I believe. It brings up the perpetual debate of recruiting vs development and I think development is a serious factor, especially under Neeld.

This problem started long before Neeld. He was bought in as a quick fix that just compounded problems and made them worse.

the standard "cut & paste" reply from Satyr. When challenged you don't want to rock the boat at all.

If Neeld was still in charge your responses would be the same.

Why should i stop following my club?.

I want them to be much much better before i die.

Gee I find that "cut & paste" jibe a bit rich coming from you Mr "mention Cam Schwab in every post"

Rock what boat?.......I have no influence whatsover, and surprisingly neither do you, in what direction the Club takes....it doesn't matter what I type.

My responses are always the same, again, I don't like the bagging, it achieves nothing, except maybe making the keyboard hero who does it feel better about themselves

Well at least you have got that right.

Of course supporters members and financial backers have a say in how the club is run.

When it is run badly people don't turn up. Simple.

But you will always tow the line regardless which is why i do not hold your posts in high regard.

The players are your "mates". For me they are employees.

The club is always bigger, and this is why the sooner all these bad draft picks are culled from the list the better.

I mention Schwab because it was under his template they were recruited.

I think the bigger issue is Saty's lack of posts pretty much the second Neeld was sacked. Remember how he didn't turn up for 6 months after Neeld got sacked?

Saty is as ignorant as they come. I still remember last year he gave David Schwartz a pasting on here because he "pot shot Mark Neeld" on Open Mike when it was hardly ever a pot shot at all. And then going on to say beating his gambling addiction and using it to help other was nothing special and he should be concentrating on more important things like helping the club out.

Saty is all about him and himself only.

No he put "so that Barry can actually start and tag Motlop and we can all decide whether he has any chance of ever being up to this level, which I seriously doubt", so I suggest you retract 'the liar' bit. God I hate school holidays

your kids getting on your nerves saty? lol

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
