At half time I can understand those comments. It was disappointing.……

 

 

Interestingly for the first time in memory I felt quietly confident at half time that these guys would turn it around ….. was expecting a scrape across the line victory though, not the amazing turnaround we saw.

    If you feel that way, why did you support the statement, "Sit down"?

    That is someone saying your views aren't welcome.

    I think you might take a deep breath and read the thread again from the start and see the context of @rpfc posts.

    Hidden behind your humour is some truth you wish to impart.

    You don't what my kind on board.

    I've been told to "sit down", to be blocked, that I must be new (no right to express my view).

    Why are my views so unpalatable?

    I can understand boring, but not welcome!

    You poor, insular, delicates.

     

     

     

    Settle down Kev! Not having a dig at you at all! You are right it was self deprecating humour suggesting that any club who would have me is not worth belonging to. Sorry if u didnt get that. Just a humourous narrative thats all. I personally welcome all comments on Demonland whether they align to mine or not. It gives the forum brevity, thinking material and pionts of difference. I like it?

    Opinions are like farts, everyone else's stinks, they are hard to hold in and when you let one go, at least one person will leave the room.

     I wouldn’t advise that. I read the post to which you refer and it only reinforces what’s happening here. rpfc said he’s the one who tells newbies to sit down. I love rpfc’s posts (didn’t know he was a mod until now) but I’ve left other fan forums (for bands etc.) because of the way mods or long-termers regard “newbies” with a lack of respect. Call me old-fashioned but telling a man to sit down, in the implied context, is emasculating. 
    Anyways, that’s my two bob’s worth.

    Huh.

    well I’m not a mod, and you an Kev are welcome to take the jest in which I have posted in this thread as straight if you wish.

    (although I thought the gifs give it away)

    I just don’t think you’re right and I still don’t think the response to deefiant was warranted - which is ironically what started this nonsense.

    We done yet?

    Your out are you, or taking your own advice and sitting down.

    He wasn't calling you a troll, I think he was referring to deefiant.

    Geeze, "literati", that's a laugh in itself.

    Mate, stop ostracising. Your closed group is not what you imagine.

    Anyone can join and your constant put downs cannot change that.

    You know me because you had the same run in with 007 and who.

    Could be about your superiority complex and the need to close the open door so you feel safe from opinions you don't agree with.

    Who is we? Is that the inner circle, group think people. 

     

    You are a good poster Kev. I read all your content.

    People are free to tell you to sit down and you are free to tell them to get stuffed, which you have done. 

    I have a simple rule. Don’t take things personally. End of the day we’re all just a bunch of randoms talking chit about our team and inflicting half baked opinions on the world. Let's get back to talking nonsense about the footy.

    Wow, you are over analysing everything. Not everyone has a vendetta against you.

    Feel free to post your opinion, but people have a right to disagree.

    From your posts, i have seen more atracks on people's character than posts. I chose to not respond to your attacks on my character, as is my right.

    Yes, no doubt my personal bias and pain points are on show in this thread in my response to a poster who passionately defends the rights of others to irrationally and prematurely slag off the club, even when we're 9-1, with an inconsistently applied free speech argument.

    This has obvs touched a nerve with a few posters, for differing  reasons. I guess that’s one of the foibles of being human. But it’s also one of the benefits. It shows we are nothing if not passionate. ?

    Thanks for noticing Kev, but really, I just love that Groucho Marx quote PF used. Feel free to say whatever you like around me.

    • 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.
