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.

Dees! 

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?

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
