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.

    Agreed. I use the ignore button for the Loons only

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
