LEAVE ME ALONE!!! Please just leave me alone. I’m going through something incredibly difficult right now, a really really low point and the last thing I need is to be mocked by the likes of you. Just ignore me. Stop with the little indirect digs at me. I’ve done nothing to deserve your nastiness.

Someone laughs at someone else when they’ve just shared that they’re at their lowest point in life? That’s a new low. It’s heartless actually. I don’t need this, I really don’t. I’m out.

I hope everything works out ok WCW.

    I think anyone who attends a W match should be praised. 

    Why?

    Theres a bit of a weird misogynistic tone about parts of this thread that I don’t really love.

    Because they’re supporting our AFLW team and crowd numbers have been down.

    Well if that’s how you feel then I agree. I thought you were suggesting something else, so I’m sorry if I took it in a way that wasn’t intended. 👍

    I think “misogyny” gets thrown around a little too much these days, often used incorrectly. I’m a single dad to two girls, we are super close and I do and will always support them in everything they do. I don’t have a misogynistic bone my body. Being critical of a female sport (due to a poor performance or a low quality product being presented) isn’t misogyny. Consequently, I find it highly offensive being referred to as a misogynist purely because I’m critical of a female’s performance (it’s the performance I’m critiquing, not the gender).

    Do you watch porn ( non misogynistic variety of course ) on it ?

    Great stuff ET.

    I’m probably a bit sensitive as I haven’t really loved seeing some of the pile on of one of our posters here, who happens to be female. It made me uncomfortable, but in a way I don’t think I’m able to articulate properly. Again, apologies for misinterpreting your comment. I just wish everyone could perhaps act with a little more empathy (and I’ll try and remember to do the same!).

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend 👍

    So since Petracca has threatened to leave, he’s caused 

    1) A president to resign

    2) An external review to be undertaken 

    Really interested to see what gets added to this list as the next 6 months unfolds.

    Certainly wouldnt have picked that if someone started a "match a poster to a car" type thread.

    I think an Audi SUV is actually cheaper than a Kombi these days. Coincidentally, a 1960 Kombi Samba is the one vehicle I’ve always wanted to own.

    Are you implying that Petracca created the troubles? or just noting that his public stance on them has created a lot of necessary movement.

    Isn’t it just the fact that CP5’s actions to overtly look to leave is the catalyst to all this? I am sympathetic to his stance, I even understand to the point of comprehension, but can we just let the facts stand without making them arguable because they don’t fit the clean narrative we want for a certain person?

    If that is the case then I'd want a cleanout of senior positions from top to bottom. Roffey has gone, and Pert and Richardson should be next.

    It was just his place in the highest earners list.

    Plenty of pretty ordinary "champions"( they're all very good of course) getting 200 grand more than Jack.

    It's not. 

    Every one of our sponsors would look at this table with concern in terms of a return on their investment.

    It's a perfect visual summary of our woeful comms.

    It is a serious issue. 

    I'm guessing going out in straight last Sept and our string of losses this year didn't help.  Similar to our membership numbers.  Nor would our membership demographics.

    It would be interesting to know the overall figures and if the table is only the additional or is net +/-. 

    Will be disappointed if the Comms department is not a serious part of the organisational review.  imv it is failing at many levels. 

     

    As an side wondering how mfc's 'instagram performance' is related to the CP thread rather than the review thread...

     

    @Demonland do we know the end date?  Is there more info available about the composition of the table.

    We should've dubbed our draftee: Caleb the Windsurfer and brought inflatable windsails into the crowd and given our game style a catchy name like StrangleBall to match those young wizards and whipper snappers over at Waverley

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
