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.

Coburg can’t miss - a goal makes it 5.0.30 to 7.10.52

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
