The Devil Inside

Recommended Posts

So am i, so I will make sure I get pictures of the new recruits and put them on my Twitter account for all who want to see

before you begin your usual oldest fanboy in the world routine and pester them from the boundary at training....congratulations as well, that snide comment got you onto my list of posters I don't read

He was [censored] off he got glandular, felt he made real progress last season, coaching staff agreed, hence his second year, put him right back at the beginning of pre season again, hoping to get the weight back on in next week or two and have a program set he can follow over the Xmas break and catch up

You have no issues constantly berating and condescending posters for negative views of playersyet as soon as one of us give you a little negative feedback you crack the sads. Newsflash this is a public forum and no view unless it contradicts forum rules is off limits. You're a hypocrit with a short fuse and bad attitude and I couldn't give a stuff if you don't read my posts.

Interesting that the bloke you call the worlds oldest fanboy won't be reading your posts but I bet you will be reading his training reports

Listen, the amount of derision Saty seems to attract is for the most part unwarranted, in my opinion. If you don't like the fact that he sees fit to support and defend players he thinks are unjustly maligned, then don't read his reports... simple. I for one appreciate his efforts and have no issue with his level of support; and I would guarantee that if you came under the amount of "attacks" he is the target of, I'm pretty sure you would be cracking a case of the sads as well.

Given a choice of Saty and his unwavering support and love of every player on our list as opposed to many other who see "spud" and "never want to see him in a Melbourne jumper again" for every player on our list - I'm going with Saty....

I like his training reports, and don't have an issue with defending players, but when I see a poster constantly belittle others for negative views I call them out on it. Saty has no problem condescending anybody with a contradictory point of view so I thought I'd give him a little back. Seems he can dish it out but can't take it lol

Thanks chaps for your support, I just don't continue to read some posters input, I am over discussing,, the negativity amazes me at times...... the list I don't read is growing..........

I do the training reports to hopefully give a bit of background/info to our interstate and overseas supporters

A lot of the players actually enjoy the interaction with the supporters (bloody Garland photobombing my pic of Jeff Garlett)

But I also talk to them to try and get some true info or check out why they came off the track early.

There was actually a 'funny' exchange on Wednesday, Dunny, of all people, was near the fence and a watcher asked him a question, obviously not about him, Dunny turned around and said paraphrase "ask him yourself, he won't bite"......it was probably about Jesse Hogan

The question obviously wasn't about Chris Lewis....

I thought I would answer this last one, I only posted that I won't be readiing any more of your posts, feel free to do the same, you seem to carrying on quite a lot for something that really doesn't bother you.........MFC is my team, I don't like negative things being said about it, public forum, I will say so, some of the negative posters deserve belittling, sorry

I don't ignore posters, I'm bigger than that. If I have an issue I usually address it and move on.

Can you promise to leave all the new recruits alone for a little bit and allow them sufficient time to acclimatise to their new surroundings? Thanks

Hi Saty we are never going to agree on some players but I hope I don't get personal with insults well I try not to anyway.

Appreciate your reports keep it up.

I am sure that if the players don't want to chat they won't ?

We all appreciate the reports of OUR club and we should all realise that reacting to belittling with more belittling is pointless and self-defeating.

Saty can ask the players whatever he likes, the players can politely ask him to GAGF or talk to him, posters can have any (non-defamatory) opinion they wish, and all of this can happen without this BS.

Interestingly I go to the occasional training session and feel awkward approaching the players (although I had a good chat with Shannon Byrnes last year) for a talk so D.T.I. interaction with them is really quite interesting.

A friend of mine in the UK was box office manager of the Premier League football team that he followed. I once said to him that he must love the connection that he has with the players on a day to day basis around the club. His response was interesting saying basically that to him they were gods on the pitch and he did not want to get to know them in the flesh in case they turned out to be dick heads.

I think that the truth is somewhere in the middle reflecting society as a whole so please D.T.I. keep it up!

I for one probably wouldn't be able to talk to them. I'd be too nervous. I know they are real people like anyone else, but the thing is I feel like I have a personal relationship with them because I watch them every week during the season and watch their interviews.

They obviously don't know squat about me. It feels lopsided and I'd just feel awkward talking to them.

Honestly if Jack Viney came up to me and said "G'day, thanks for supporting the MFC", I'd be so shell shocked I'd just stare at him.

I mean, I'm 10 years older than Jack, but I admire his guts (and guns, lol) and would probably giggle like a school girl if I spoke to him. I name all my Geodudes "Viney" (pokemon reference for the younger ones out there). How weird is that?

This is a Geodude for those who don't know. Basically a rock with arms. That's Viney!

You had to pick one of the nicest guys who is always up for a chat, Jack would love the cartoon, do you mind if I put it on Twitter tomorrow, I told him about his guns gaining a following and asked him to do the very pose for Twitter, he immediately did it

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
