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.

There it is again.

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?

Supported by another, @Left Foot Snap.

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?

 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.

Great advice for us all Better Thanks for that.

I guess I’d best just sit down then.

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.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
