Flat Track Bullies?

Featured Replies

 
 

We would actually need to thump a couple of bottom teams , we’re lucky enough if we just get over the line . 

Our biggest winning margin last year was under 10 goals , hence one of the main reasons our % was not flash 


Clearly it’s @Demonland site but fair dinkum are you on the SEN payroll?

SEN articles are the most flimsy non-value adding rubbish I’ve read for some time!

Why keep promoting it?

Spud Frawley?

Really?

Great site but I’ll not financially contribute any longer if this keeps up.

I kind of agree McQueen in regards to the amount of articles that keep getting added.

I feel almost burnt out discussing so many different things and it's only Round 5.

 

Definitely not flat track bullies since we haven’t been able to bully anyone, even Kangaroos or Bears.

 I'll make no apologies for posting topics about the Dees in the media for discussion here. No one is forcing you to read or comment. 


sorry which side have we put away ?

That’s cool mate.

If you think everything you list as thread-worthy is worth discussion then you’re having trouble understanding your paid up Demonland members.

I'd love to be flat track bullies... problem is we are just as likely to lose to Carlton as we are to Richmond...

Agree with this.  We're terrible when we're favorites and play well when we should lose.

Happy to refund you. Send me your PayPal details via PM. 

Keep the funds.

I’ll attempt to navigate the site better.

Nor probably should you..Your site do what you like. Suprised you take umbrage .

The obsevation that such articles are trite if not tripe also probably valid.

I dont know...maybe preface title with Warning.. rubbish article to follow...or simply paranthesise (sen)

Then some might happily read another thread.

Site owner posts a link to an article about our club........

Site members complain about not just article itself, but also the value of the post.....

what the ?

If this site was edited for quality of content, 99% of posts would disappear.

ffs guys, if you dont like the message in the article, argue its merit. We are going to be talked about a LOT as expectations continue to rise, but our performances dont.

Play on.

 

 

Agree Ding

we need to shape the message by performing and playing an attractive brand of football.

If you want the opposite have a look at how badly Carlton and St Kilda will perform media and finance wise this year.

We got bullied by the Hawks and as everyone has already pointed out we haven't put lessor teams to the sword in what seems like an eternity.

SEN will put anything out there for a story.  Spud must be on his own crappy home made Vodka!  

Nothing to see here!


Port were “flat track bullies” last year, they got through to the second week of the finals. I will take that this year.

They didn't, but they did play finals.

Sorry you’re right, the eagles got the after the siren goal. Still they made finals, better than us. 

I guess I’m saying I could live with us winning every game we were expecting to win and then pinching a game or two against a quality side. 

Still too early to tell what any team is.

If you’ve not noticed the change in tact of recent then you’ve been asleep at the wheel, ding.

I’m a life member and have made other financial contributions. I’m not boasting but rather just adding fact.

I enjoy the site and the great insight other supporters post regularly.

There’s been some great threads we’ve all contributed to over the years but all of a sudden we’re inundated with article after pointless article about about the club and certain players that in my opinion have close to zero value with reference to discussion.

And then I get a “happy to refund you” response when I air a grievance?

Wow.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
