    Precisely. Absolute silence from the MFC about his disappearance. I suspect the worst, namely he's not doing too well. If that's the case I wish him all the best and I have no doubt the armchair experts on this site, the same manic naysayers who comment on and foretell the worst case scenario on gameday posts would have contributed to any lack of confidence he might be experiencing. 

    First, this is a fan site and fans comment on their club and everything about it.

    Second, fans have varying opinions on players.

    Third, players are told not to read these sites for their own benefit.

    Fourth, these players are professionals,getting paid to play and they are well advised by their families, friends, coaches and managers that they will be subjected to criticism.

    Fifth, being former fans themselves, the players know these sites can contain praise and criticism.

    Sixth, players are big and smart enough to listen to their coaches and not fans on sites anyway.

    Seventh, if you are that worried about players being affected by ignoring the club's advice and then reading these sites and then believing what they read, maybe you could suggest on here that we only post nice comments all the time. That should make it a nice place to come for the players and enthralling reading for the Demonlanders.

    Last, while I try to not be too negative, in the case of a minority of players I can't help it. If a player IMO is just not up to AFL standard or plays a terrible game, I think we have the right to say that, without getting personal and just assessing their footy ability or performance.

    You mean like calling a player a spud, you may have standards 'Leg but unfortunately some on here don't 

    The endless amusement I get is that the so called keyboard heroes on here who use that language, if they get the same treatment go running to Mummy or the Mods to complain

    I am stiill waiting to be invited to a professional workplace by a poster where I can critique their daily output in a nasty and childish way. 

    Demonland is tame compared to Twitter and Instagram

    The middle of the ground is boggy and its quite slippery and heavy underfoot out there.

    Can't see Billy stretch out there so far. Lewis and Wagner dominating

    I did say in my last point that fans should not get personal.

    While "spud" is not a nice description, it is a description of football ability and not the person himself.

    To be honest saying someone's footy ability is pathetic or hopeless is about the same, but again they are descriptions of performance not the person.

    These guys know that they will be criticized even at games and they need first to not read fan sites and second if they do, laugh at them and not take them seriously. That is what they are continually advised. It is good advice.

    All sports people and public figures know that criticism comes with their position. 

    PS. Sorry to those wanting scores, no more on this topic from me on this thread. Go Casey Demons.

    Yes but none on the sideline. The toilets require a cross country trip through the mud.

    Worse... the sausages at the sausage sizzle were burnt.

    Sums up our season - Fremantle kicked 1.0 in the last quarter yesterday, after Collingwood's 9.0 in the last half on QB.

    On cue, Coburg get a point for you.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
