I'd like to propose a month of no whingeing on demonland where our members can analyse and critique our performances and that of our players but are not allowed to:

1. Draw a link between how we perform to the last time we won a flag. 

2. Play the victim when we lose and complain about how the club gives nothing back. The club owes you nothing. 

3. Bemoan the lack of communication from the club. 

4. Mention how Collingwood were happy to see the back of Gary Pert. 

5. Mention how our Coaching department didn't review the Preliminary Final loss to West Coast.

<INSERT DEMONLAND WHINGE HERE>

I'm not saying we can't be critical of performance but rather do so in a constructive manner.  In short, lets be more like Amber Whalan and support our club unconditionally without the veil of negativity as Paul Roos described it.

People who are passionate about something will say things in the heat of the moment when unexpected disappointment occurs.

Your post is the most pointless thing I have read here this season.

Demonland serves as an outlet. Venting on here is what allows some supporters to retain a modicum of sanity.

If you don’t like it then scroll past it or put people on ignore. Either way, get over it.

We have more to whinge about in the past month than the entire last season. When the positives reappear the whingering will go.

As long as it's related to the game played and not a whinge about how Collingwood would not accept what we accept and hence why we are bottom dwellers.

If that happens then we're not allowed to get ahead of ourselves

Then where would the whingers who whinge about whingeing whinge?

Not sure that whinging is the matter at hand. Each of us would be the first to openly celebrate and express our delight with the MFC if we did not have to review, analyse/reflect upon another dismal series of performances in multiple areas of the game of football that we only recently considered 'repaired'. In any case, a fully harmonious organisation on a ride on the merry-go-round is not necessarily a healthy one; reflection and the expression of such interpreted observations is akin to the more universal application of desirable standards - new or old - in that search for utopian progress. We are in another cycle, agreed but at the point where more observations than normal are necessarily communicated.

Yes but does it need to go on & on & on & on & on?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
