Are you a lawyer?

Relating to another human being is a totally different comparison from a Club.

As for others re the new binary that’s nothing to do with we or they as part of a group. 

You obviously are part of a group if you call yourselves a THEY  it a Dees supporter is a WE. It doesn’t matter about sub groups. 

MFC has differing sub groups ie Board Coterie Football Dept 
Members fans but we are all supporters. The team is not a they like we   are not a they as we belong to the MFC all of us. 

I am not a lawyer nor a wordsmith just a proud Demon supporter of 66 years that is part of our club and involved so a WE fits perfectly. 

But if you don’t like my  opinion and prefer to be a THEY so be it. 

BTW We are all Australians who are nationalised THEY are NOT  who ain’t. 
Pretty simple isn’t it You either belong or you don’t. 

Try to think about it Am I  a Demon supporter ? YES then I am a WE That’s the  bonding not whether I am. Cotorie Army or member or fan. 

The THEY are other  teams club  members or AFL staff or filth trajics. NOT the Melb team who might miss a certain player if he is injured. 

OUR team will miss him. WE will miss  him.

Some of  you will get it but others will be stubborn and try an alternative view that does not fit the we or they terminology or category.

    No I'm an overweight 75 year old wadling around in a MFC jumper with number 6 on the back.

    This is pathetic and I expected better from you

    Hoping for a solid supporting effort from petty, JVR to kick his highest tally yet and petty to chip in with a couple. Some good blocks and forward line cohesion would be great

    Either plays back and a direct swap for T. Mac going forward or back to Casey Woeful last night!

    That looks the way to go, swap with T Mac.

    He is either still injured, horribly out of form, or simply not a natural key forward, despite some good efforts there.

    Petty has played his best footy down back and Tom certainly has forward craft.

    Thanks Captain Obvious Jenkins.

    Play him down back or play him at Casey. We are not good enough to carry a player who is a net negative.

    chaplin in the pre-game interview was clear - he's a forward

    they love his ability to get to contests and at a minimum get the ball to ground

    i don't think he's at risk of being dropped, and as long as he's not injured he'll remain in our starting 22

    I've listened to Jenkins a few times on SEN. Loves to make controversial comments. I think he's a Kane Cornes wannabe but doesn't possess Cornes understanding of the game. wouldn't pay too much attention to him.

    Based off his season so far he isn't wrong.

    Even assuming your assessment is accurate (which it's not), we were last night.

    It is accurate. We have less depth than last year and against the Cats and Blues over the next fortnight and other contenders later in the year we can’t carry players. Couldn’t care less about teams like the Tigers. 

    The window for us is closing so we need to make every post a winner.

    And based on Petty's output in the forward line last year he is wrong.

    He's coming off a 6 month injury, I think judgement needs to be held until the mid way point of the season

    Tom still can’t change directions or get off the ground. The moment you throw him forward he’ll turn back in to a witches hat. A few errant kicks aside he’s playing well down back. Why move a player in form who hasn’t been good forward since early 2021?

    Petty:
    Hawthorn: 9 marks, straightened us up
    Port: played a role forward in the second half
    Adel: 1.3 

    He looked every bit a forward until whatever happens when he plays Brisbane. And whatever happened to the rest of the side too.

    Even last night, took 3 marks, dropped at least 3 more simple ones. Confidence isn’t great but otherwise putting in the effort, his pressure and chasing makes a big difference and allows us to get the zone right.

    Everyone just needs to take a deep breath and back him in. I see nothing but a player who’s lost some touch and confidence. 

    By the way, they same issues are hampering him when he’s been down back the last 2 years. 

    A but of continuity, sports psychology and some better ball use and he’ll be back marking everything at CHF

    Jenkins wouldn’t know what a key forward is if he tripped over one.

    The man loved a handball in to the open goal so much he makes Fritsch look honest.

    Looks well out of touch fort he game at the moment.  I think we brought him in too early. More games at Casey to get his mojo back.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
