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!

No. I like to have the right of reply, when attacked.

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.

Agreed. I use the ignore button for the Loons only

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
