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.

Dees! 

 
 

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.

Spoil sport. Without misery I am nothing.

 

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.

Proposal.

REJECTED.

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

Open slather on umps still permitted?

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

I can see everyone being really civil if we lose to GC next week...you know the side we were leading 77-7 early in the second  quarter, last August.

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.

My object today is  to understand the above!


After reading the OP, I’m now convinced the club is posting on demonland.

Nice try Perty.

Im sure if we win the next 4 games in a month there will be NO WHINING at all!!

Therefore

The flood gates are about to open!

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

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
