You can stop waiting. I’m done pleading with you to ease up on the relentless bagging of the Club, publicly as well as privately and in every thread. I’ve wasted so much time already. Because that’s all this is… a waste of time.

I thought you were thick and didn’t understand why I was upset. Now I see that you DO understand but you’re gonna go ahead and continue doing it regardless.

You see, it DOES matter where comments are made. I (at first, politely) requested that we leave off bagging the MFC in this NON-MFC thread. I think that’s a fair request. Clearly, you don’t.

And to think I went in to bat for you when you were banned from DL. I practically begged the mods to give you another chance. The irony… you’ll be the reason I eventually bail. 

Give it a rest, this is equally as tiresome. Consider putting WYL on ignore or use the report function.

It's a footy forum, not War and Peace

    No extra technology was needed in this case. Just some old-fashioned honesty.  Did the TV commentators even say anything when it was replayed?

    Yes there is that too. All these Commentators are employed under the “AFL” umbrella, so they are not going to rock the Gravy Train too much. 
    Whateley goes harder than most, but even he is not going to jeopardise his job

    We almost caught Carlton. Think we were down 35 points at one stage in that game.

    not currently shadow of ourselves   Something is going on and its not good  Doomsday if loose to North     quite possible  How can wheels fall off so bloody quickly.   As for the Filth    ...     armchair ride from umpires as usual  God I hate them

    I honestly cannot understand how that Norf mark wasn't paid 50m in the last 2 mins. Two guys three steps over the mark. Clear as day. The sort of vision the umpires boss would use to explain giving a 50. Clarko will go bizerk at the AFL over the umpires.

    It's too easy to say that Norf only have themselves to blame, but had the correct decision been paid, we would be congratulating them on a victory well deserved. The difference was a wrong decision by an umpire.

    me too

    the commentators said he went to play on but he didn’t.

    Very begrudgingly, you have to admire the Pies’ determination and belief. Incredible. To do it time and time again. (Umpiring aside)

    And the tackle on Crisp on the boundary just before WHE's releasing kick. He just let go of it in the tackle with prior opp. You could hear the commentators groan when it wasn’t paid.

    North played like they were scared in the last quarter.  Some didnt want the ball to come to them for fear of making a mistake.

    But if he did play on then it should have been play on, not 'go back and have your kick'.  99% of the time in  that situation it is either play on or 50m.

    Why is it your responsibility/business to beg the mods to bring that person back? Seems unnecessary.

    Well you’d best be getting used to the tedium. If I have to see a Dees pile-on in the NON-MFC thread every week you’ll have to see me asking people to stop doing it.

    I don’t put anyone on ignore because it’s pointless when you still have to see their cr@p when someone quotes them.

    Also pointless to report SWYL’s posts because as far as I know constant disparagement of the Dees in a NON-MFC thread isn’t a breach of Demonland rules. Hence, I asked for this to stop, that being my only avenue. If I could report him I’d have done it ages ago.

    So, I guess I’ll see you back here on the NON-MFC thread next week.

    Can you not see the irony of what you are writing on the "NON-MFC thread"?

    Get help, please. I'm concerned for you

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
