Dear me. Here we see the dangerous effects caused by long term MFC supporting. Even short term support can harm. Just say no.

If only that were an option RM. I fear like most addiction it is now impossible.

    SWYL, I simply cannot fathom why you don't just put Saty on 'ignore' if he upsets you so much.

    That way, you don't have to read what he has to say and we don't have to suffer your vitriolic responses.

    Extremely good point.

    There is a fine line on both sides of the coin.

    There are those who are generally more 'pessimistic', but they at least put some thought in to what they say.  I can respect that.  For example, I feel like @praha falls into this category.  I don't mean that in a bad way, but he generally puts plenty of thought into what he has to say and it's not just negativity for the sake of it.  There are other examples of this, some of which can also be positive when the time arises.

    Then you have the negatives for negatives sake who will bash the club regardless of what happens.  They aren't worth your time and, if I'm being honest, I've got a large selection on ignore.  Why engage with them?  Better to save your energy for those who put some effort in.

    There are also others who I think see more of the good than bad.  One example if @titan_uranus - always puts plenty of thought into his posts and they are a great read.  Again, there are many others like this, and I think we have a good mix of both.

    Then, of course, are the positive for positives sake.  I've got a few of those on ignore as well.  

    I do believe we have a pretty good mix overall, and blocking those who put little effort into their bashing or their praise make the site much more enjoyable.  It's far easier to get to the good stuff without having to wade through all the muck.

    Very thoughtful this morning Wiseblood. 

    Doesnt it just fall into if you don't like a thread or contributor don't read it?

    I am always amused that people don't like something but cannot leave it alone.

    oh joys of the human race!

    With some exceptions its only the thin skinned posters who put others on the ignore. Those who keep the ignored bucket full have the problem.  They attack posters rather than arguments hoping to provoke so they can strike back. Makes them feel in control.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • 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?
