I’m trying not to lose my head.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

You can go along with your head in the sand or you can admit that there are issues and hope the club gets on the right track so they can succeed. Clubs with this level of dysfunction rarely (if ever) succeed. That is what I want, a successful MFC. I don't care about the personalities, I want the club to succeed.

Of course the club isn't perfect, but it isn't as [censored] as some on here seem to want it to be or claim it is. The media's ability to almost unchallenged say we are a total shambles is prime in shaping perception.

Either way, winning solves everything. Although not enough for some.

Toxic is the perfect word to describe Demonland at times. The fact you need such a long winded explanation to justify this behaviour..is kind of sad 😔 

Not justifying any behaviour. It’s just a fact of life. If you interact with others, you’re going to have disagreements and there will always interpersonal issues. Learn to work through it or deal with it. Giving it some “trendy” name or label isn’t going to do a damn thing. Perhaps the people who are offended by comments made by an anonymous person on an online public forum are the “toxic” ones. Do I “win” the argument by using that word?

It's never what you say, but how you say it.

Differing of opinions is healthy, natural and completely fine. As is venting.

But it says more about you, if you feel the need to constantly attack, belittle and railroad the opinions of others (not you personally), than it does about those who feel fed up with it.

 

Fair call. In written form, sometimes things can also be misinterpreted or taken the wrong way as well.

Just because it’s a fact of life doesn’t mean you don’t push back against it. Disagreement’s aren’t the problem here. Just be kind…..

so far this thread has succeeded in getting grandmaster flash and the furious five AND britney spears stuck in my head

That's a good idea in principle, but unfortunately with the differing personalities there are some who need to consistently be right and accepted as  being right, if not they will resort to personal attacks or degoratory remarks, such as delusional.

I am guilty sometimes as I like to 'play' at their insecurities, but try to use humour, such as 'having a battle of wits with an unarmed person'.

Myself, it is water of a duck's back, but can see how it can affect others or drive them off the board completely, which is disappointing, I went missing out of boredom with the negativity, but thought I would give it another try.

Putting posters on ignore is the answer for some.

There are so many pages on this thread because there are two camps of 'caring ' supporters, I use that word as I am sure they are both a small minority of the 60000 members.

There are those that think a lot of the so called issues are just media beatups, like myself,  the other camp thinking if there is smoke there must be fire, backed up by the media and pundits seeking clickbait,  rumour, hearsay and 'a close contact told me'

This idea that you are a better fan because you unquestioningly support the board or admin or the culture of the club is rubbish and it's tedious.

However, many on here think that if you think things aren’t as bad as the media say then you fall into this category, which is an opinion that lacks nuance. People just want to throw everyone on here in to two categories. One of the great problems of our times. Not to mention it’s just so god damn boring.

Sources say Tigers have offered picks 6, 10 and 11

[von 1,520]

Now that Clarry and trac are both staying can we be done with the idea that where there is smoke there is fire. This just allows the bottom feeder journalists whose records are genuinely garbage, much worse than our clubs record, to be seen as relevant. Not to mention it turns this place into a [censored] show.

Here we go again. Just because deals were impossible to get done, doesn't mean that negotiations didn't take place.

So the media picked a random Geelong player (Rhys Stanley) to create a fictional story that Oliver met with Geelong players on a farm. Did the media go to the titles office to see which Geelong players own a farm?

Your comment is what turned this place into a [censored] show, not the media.

[Deestar9 1,580]

I didn’t think I’d ever say this but well done Mark Robinson. Happy to give credit for a very well written article on Clarry …hard to disagree with any of it …

Really mo what enjoyment do you get extending the waste of space to the gutter journalists like Maclure and Barrett. That just wait and invent click bait to justify their incorrect judgement to embellish the situation, 

Can't you see thst the farm meeting was a ploy for the media and Mackie was the most likely culprit in organising this fake news. 

it’s yesterdays fish and chip wrappers and deserves the bin and not a relevant exercise in the trade story.

We'll agree to disagree.

I love a good workshop, brainstorming, coming together in a collective headspace, creating synergy, creating a piece of work, aligning to same principles and all the rest...........

According to Wikipedia India averages the most derailments in the world. 

Demonland must be closing in.

To be fair to India's remarkable rail service, it is relatively few derailments per passenger-km and cargo volume km. 

In contrast, on some demonland threads the only sensation of movement at all is the derailments!

Saty's back. He's been missed.

Can't wait for his knowledgeable and insightful training reports.

I hope he still has the same affinity with the players.

Unfortunately not, COVID [censored] all over my job, as discussed by Jake Melksham on an episode of Gus and Gawny, yes it was me who gave him the nickname Missile.

Had to make my job permanent and take on more to achieve the same remuneration, don't ask, so random days off are a thing of the past.

Still get the chance to chat to players at various functions etc, including the B&F

[Satyriconhome 10,506]

Does everybody realise there is only 15mins to go and Oliver hasn't been traded yet, what do we change the title of this thread to now, "Clickbaiters"
