Did anyone notice that one of the Twitter trolls who fat-shamed Magda Szubanski on the New Daily website today signed in as gtmelb with an MFC logo as their icon?

I think this is disgraceful and brings the club into disrepute.

Does anyone know someone who twitters as " gtmelb "? 

I realise these gutless trolls hide behind their web anonymity. I am posting this in the faint hope this person can be identified.

If that can be done, should any action be taken?

    I did notice it, and I found it disgraceful.  Unfortunately there are gutless creeps in all supporter bases from different clubs.  Aside from having an MFC logo for their profile picture, I'm not sure what action could be taken, aside from Magda reporting it if she chooses to do so.

    Going by their Twitter posts, this person is by and large a massive [censored] in lots of ways, it seems.

    Awful. I get age-shamed at the pool I swim in occasionally. People don’t realise how hurtful it is

    Tell me about it Cass! Last week at work I called a PowerPoint presentation a PowerPoint presentation instead of a “slide pack”… got told by the younger ones that they could tell I was pushing 40. #AgeIsJustANumberDontShameMe.

    I've been called a lot of things over my lifetime but none of it ever worried me, why give anyone the satisfaction of knowing they've got in your head.

    People are too precious now; they wouldn't have survived in the time when I grew up.

    Like me, you grew up in an era where social media etc didn’t exist and so bullying etc was pretty much limited to the schoolyard, workplace etc. Now, people often have to deal with it all of the time and short of isolating themselves completely, they don’t have any easy way of escaping it. Nothing about being too precious at all.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
