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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
