How has this absolute nothingburger of a thread attracted 75 posts?

(Apart from nuffies like me responding, that is)  :D

I get that the majority think the noise of tracc when planking is irrelevant. 

I think it indicates his mental weaknesses, immaturity and disrespect to team mates and the trainers.

Please don't call me nuts, or a nuffie or suggest I am not part of the "we" in this forum. They are personal attacks. If you can't see that then you have become desensitised to how you treat others..Those names are borderline nasty, I will ask those throwing them out, to not do it. Even if with some humorous intention.

@BAMF

Kev your original and some following comments were correct.

BUT it is a very nuanced observation.

There are many features of the exercise which we are all still unsure of and indeed like any comments need to be taken in context and awareness of intent.

You are dead right about the need for positive behaviour and attitude to be displayed as an instinctive action.

There is nothing worse than the bowed head, the hands on hips , knees etc.There is also the need for disappointment and negative reality displayed at times so the context must always be considered.

i have adopted the name dpositive for that reason and hope I always offer positive support, I do so in advising you to give up. It was a good point well put you don't have to justify it any further.

That's the way mate, keep attacking. 

You're have no understanding of the other.

Who is olisik or Dr D?

Must be only addressing your inner circle.

Mate, I have a right to express myself on this open forum, without the constant attacks.

But well done, your circle must be getting chuffed about your inputs.

So much wisdom, to impart!

Can't wait for the next snipe.

 

nuffie

A term used to describe people that are mentally retarded (or just plain stupid). Derived from the term nuff nuff.

I’m jealous that you don’t know who Olisik or Dr.D is tbh

But you completely mistook my comment. If you read carefully, you would know that I didn’t attack you, I attacked your comment (or rather, I took the mickey out of it).

There’s a difference between criticism of a post and criticism of the poster. I clearly made no remarks towards you mate, just your post. You’re not a nuffie. 
 

But your post on the other hand…. ?

As a leader, could be setting an example.

Do we want the lot of them carrying on.

He could be pushing himself more, not just getting through.

Lead by example, train as you would play.

Then take the training into game day.

Sorry but this is a very silly thread.


He would have had 35 & 5 if he didn’t avoid planks, room for growth

Is it, why comment then?

Again, how would it be if all expressed discomfort with an exercise?

What is it like for team mates close to him who may also be struggling?

I suggest he has some mental weaknesses and immaturity. 

I am happy to discuss, but one liners like yours are just going to annoy those who are like you in opinion and would prefer a thread like this being forgotten because of its triviality.

You will upset my fan base!

Have you ever physically exerted yourself to the point of exhaustion? I have and I swore a lot, when it came to action time it was game face on, no weakness or immaturity. As we witnessed last night, Petracca is a professional. 

Not an attack Kev, you’re obviously entitled to your opinion.

He wasn’t exhausted,  he was bunging it in on for the camera and, I thought, displaying his subconscious attitude to effort.

He had a good game, and is a match winner for us. Just believe he still has plenty of growth.

  • 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.

  • 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.
