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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
