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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
