Smart decision on his part. If there’s any inking of it getting to you, delete it. You don’t need it.

 It's one thing to say Lever had a bad game, quite another to conclude he's no good after a handful of games. And why do admins allow players of our club to be called spuds or potatoes anyway. And why do demonlanders continually reference such  sledging as OP's, they are not OP's, they are one-fingered typists.

As someone who has suffered from depression on and off and has deleted all forms of social media, I can tell you I feel  much better than I did when I had it.

Depression is never bought on by just one thing. It's a combination of genetic predisposition, background and current life circumstances. However, I don't think it's coincidental that the worst period of that time in my life was from 2011 through 2014 when I spent a crap load of time on Facebook. 

Jake has made a wise move.

Social Media they can have it and sleep with it.   I hope for Jake he has a clear head now and is able to produce some very good football that he is capable of. Better than when he was at the Crows. 

Yep, our players are the best, the rest are not, and the umpires are the exception............

Hard to argue with that. Some of the stuff on Facebook makes me really question humanity.

Demonland has its share of negative posters, but I would say most of them are playing the ball, not the man.

Facebook on the other hand is a cesspit. Hard to imagine Twitter being much different.

Twitter is worse. 

 

Good, social media is a toxic hellhole for the most part.

It’s all the same people, post here, post on Twitter, post on Big Footy etc etc etc 

good on the club is finally standing up for its players - well done MFC

Good luck, Colin - and good move, getting off social media. I've never been on it, but from what I see of my kids, it looks like a recipe for mental disaster, both for the individual and for society (Zuckerberg makes my flesh creep).  

Some self righteous posting going on here

Heroes on here have bagged Jack Watts for years

F%#en hypocrites

Rest assured Jumbo, those brave guys who self assuredly sit in their dimly lit home offices, all safe and secure and anonymous, and who draw inspiration from their favourite characters from Full Metal Jacket, would not even say ‘boo’ to Jack Watts in person.

Most of us know this to be the case, and I expect most of the players know this as well.

Plus what some ( note I said some ) MFC “supporters” said about Chris Dawes & Mark Neeld was disgusting - All because of a game. 

100% hypocrites, but the AFL know who the “ring leaders are”.

But OK for the ones that bag Stefan Martin mercilessly?

Direct personal attacks on Twitter are a quantum leap from posters being critical of performances on a forum like Demonland.

Supporters have every right to be critical and call it as they see it. As soon as you get personal, you've overstepped the line. And if you are directly messaging athletes on Twitter, then you are messed up in the head.

Excellent post FD. Sums up the situation very well, especially the last sentence

On football

Never personal

Look at the trolling of some of the players over the years

Find my content - I don't give a [censored]

My favourite over the years was this gem - 'Cam Bruce wees sitting down'

Oh yeah, we're good

I’m actually amazed we have so few “supporters” prepared to stand up for our players. 

I know for a fact if anybody had a crack at my two fav Tigers ie Cotch and Basha I would be happy to stand up for both of them - both aare quality players and quality people - I appreciate both.

I don’t think anyone means what they actually say, heat of the moment stuff and comes from years of disappointment. It’s hard not to imagine Cotch and Basha being anything less and good footballers to go with it. Once we start winning regularly I’m sure it’ll all settle down.

I think if it’s just football centric criticism then it’s fair game. It comes with the territory, and most players (especially Lever) are adequately compensated. Essentially it’s the same what guys like Robbo or Caro write. Personal attacks are definitely not on, however.

Yeah we get it - but it’s not acceptable - no excuses. I would not like to count the cost this issue has cost the MFC in the past.

Think you’re barking up the wrong tree there. There are many other clubs with worse supporters than ours who’ve won flags. But agree, not acceptable. We move on.

In all honesty your posts in this thread are a mixture of self righteousness, hyperbole and troll. The above is absolutely ridiculous. You are distracting from the op. Please stop.
