Who are you kidding, people? You are all a 5 goal loss away from bloodletting about playing too many kids, or about our NQR players that ‘aren’t good enough for a flag winning team,’ or about the whipping boys of the past, present and future being the reason you sulk on the way to work...

I’m overreacting sure but this board is insufferable this week - just as it will be after our next bad loss...

SATY is that you? ?

Please stop talking about us, just pretend we dont exist!

Give us more.

MFC are great at being open to the media. Encourage them, I enjoy it, 

Gone are the days of hoping for an elaborate write up in the newspaper,  or a game review on tv following our Sunday time slots.

Most media exposè, is motivational to players, the positive or the negative, can be spun by the coaches. 

Fluff prices I'm not sure, so easy just to ignore.

The bathwater stuff though is the problem. I hope Toges are drinking it morning, night, and day.

I much prefer the overly positive and 'dreamer' like position than the weeks after a loss. Can we keep this up for a little while longer? :P Winning is fun.

The first five  minutes of this show on the AFL website is a great watch. It emphasises with all Demon supporters. Perhaps someone smarter than me could put up the link for everyone to enjoy.

Later on in the show they have a restrained go at Jeff Kennet's ludicrous claim that not to allow Hawthorn an AFLW team next season is discrimination of the worst kind......Really!!!!

Being dreamimg for almost half a century.

One day it must come true.

Perhaps just maybe it might be a day this year.

Yea...I believe its coming and boy how much we will love our flag when it does.

I don't often participate in these sort of discussion but really what's the point in being a footy supporter if you don't let yourself enjoy the good times?  And as a club we have to maximise the commercial advantages and being in the press is a large part of that.

We'll lose games this season and it will be disappointing.  That's footy.  But we are genuine participants this year, that's great.

If for some mad reason the doggies happened to drop to GWS on Friday and we smashed the Tigres..(by a lot)......Then it would be the first time ever in Nathan Jones career that he finished a home and away round with Melbourne on top of the ladder.

But the lead news article would be Tigers fail to honour Dusty milestone with a win.

What rpfc said may be a bit harsh, but there is more than a small element of truth to it.

All good HT.  That post had eerily similar tones to it.  Probably just a coincidence.  Maybe they are buddies.

I guess we should bring out the old adage "Thats what we stand for". Nothing would give me the tom t1ts more than hearing Tony Shaw, Danny Frawley, Mark McClure or some other low IQ loud mouth searching for another insulting question about our club, by asking what we stand for?

What does any club stand for?

There’s a mocker on us right there. Cheers.

I think the media give us a pretty fair run when we are successful just as the bag us when we are not. This week we have been constantly in the news, with most commentators nominating the ANZAC eve game as the most significant of the season so far: and so it is! 
 

Enjoy the limelight - there will be plenty more ahead.

Just a consequence of his original “smart [censored]” decision not to support AFLW originally. He deserves everything he gets for being such a laggard.

    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.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
