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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
