Alright fess up, who was mean to Sauce?

There was an incident a few years ago about a senior player's father cornering a 'senior' member of Demonland at the MCG to have a crack at him over comments on here about his son.

This is why I always keep my comments respectful. It's okay to be angry or grumpy or not rate a player, but if you wouldn't say it to the player or the player's mother, don't say it on Demonland.

Hogan's Heroes wasn't around then. I'm guessing WYL and his constant crusade against mediocrity. ;)

Ive never bagged our players really, i admit i get frustrated in some Gameday threads but they are just passing comments.

Having said that, if a player or a players family get rattled by football related comments on here they need a thicker skin.

H_H the new villain since Range Rover fled, and Stuie started lurking in the shadows only popping out every now and then.

That's interesting, I seem to have seen that somewhere before, can't place where Nasher

It's easy to say that from the comfortable position of never having had every man and his dog having an opinion on your work when they have no idea of the details of it (playing injured, doing as instructed by coach etc). I imagine it's water off a duck's back for most players, but as each individual is different, you can't always predict how people are going to react when the criticism is relentless, excessive and unreasonable.

Don't know about you Nasher, but I usually end up falling about laughing

I dont know if you've realised but following MFC over the last decade or so has been a pretty negative experience.

Anyway good job on the podcast guys, fills in some time on the ride to work.

That's funny. I've been told not to watch Melbourne games because their they're full of negativity too.

EDIT: Just committed the cardinal spelling sin.

Hey Everyone,

This week we caught up with Steven Stretch and chatted about everything Dees.

Here is part 1 of the Stretch interview:

We did something a bit different this week with the podcast and streamed it live on Periscope.

Here is the audio from that!

Let us know what you think.

Cheers,

I like the podcast, but reading out posts calling spencer a spud and calling a past player a hack is poor form, especially on a podcast where you interview past players.

Nice to hear Andrew Obst has a couple of boys coming through :)

Did he play enough games to qualify for Father Son? I loved Obst as a kid was a very skilled and creative player, was a great addition to our 1990 side.

EDIT - just checked he played 149 games so definitely qualifies.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
