Tear it up Mon! Love it Wow, five debutants in one season. And with nine rounds to go, could that number increase?

I don’t doubt her intelligence. But if she thought she was going to get softball-questions, then it was quite naive. Anyway, tomorrow is another day…

Look, I’ll concede “appalling” might be too strong an adjective. But to say she hadn’t even seen it…I’m sorry but I question the honesty here. It’s very disappointing at most, and if true that she hadn’t seen it, most weird at the least. Her role may be administrative, but when she chooses to go on the radio it extends to “publicist”. And a good publicist doesn’t front up to the media without doing their homework.

If the club were to go to the MRO with the argument that there was enough inertia, or as you described it: “like when people don't wear seatbelts the continue to travel after the car stops.” …to somehow warrant the May’s action, we would be shamed by the public. As it happens, the club don’t believe your theory either. I seriously question your claim

And how do we feel about Chris Scott saying such things?

I know the side’s form is currently in a downturn, but does the collective intelligence of Demonland have to plummet with it?

She can’t watch a five-second replay of an incident she’s about to be asked about on national radio?? There are ways to handle a question you’d rather not answer without being dishonest

As President, it would be wise to not convey to the supporters of your club that you have better things to do on a Saturday night than watch the game. “We’ve copped the fine, and we’re moving on. Next question”

I’m talking about the posts trying to defend his actions, and others that are drawing an equivalence to ducking.

Friend texted me and said Kate Roffey was just interviewed on the ABC. When asked about this her response was “I haven’t seen it so I can’t comment”. Can someone here confirm this? If true that is an appalling response. Further to this, I was at the game with two Roos supporters and was genuinely embarrassed when the replays were being shown on the screen. I love Maysie, but this was one of the more blatant stages I’ve seen in recent times, and some of the “whataboutisms” and excuses being hurled around on this thread are borderline delusional.

There are people in the side who are literally a decade younger than him.

To be fair, at eight wins and no losses, they WERE good at the time. And so were we. This season’s been a wild ride. And there’s still ten rounds to go.

Can definitely see this kid getting better and better, and he’s most welcome to do that with the Demons.

You yearn for those days? 2015? When we finished 13th on the ladder? Those days? Yearn? 😄

Yes, I’ll admit I don’t understand 95% of your posts.

The self-awareness levels are staggering in this one.

It’s also the mentality of a gambler.

And beating the previously-undefeated Cats. Which feels like it was in a different season.

You’ve significantly ramped-up your presence here since the team has been on a losing streak, and your contributions are some of the most antagonistic, childish and aggressive posts I’ve seen on Demonland in quite some time. There’s plenty of room here for disagreement without needing to resort to “troll” behaviour.

Oh great. Our resident charmer is back on the night shift.

I meant hell to pay for our club, not the pies.

Absolutely shattered for our star. The club is so damn lucky that the Pies didn’t choose to target his injury when he came back on, otherwise there would be absolute hell to pay.

So many people letting our medic/coaching staff off the hook here. It was beyond obvious that he was in serious trouble, and putting him back on the ground was some of the dumbest [censored] I’ve seen from our club in recent times. Add this to the never-ending list of questions to be asked of Goodwin & co.

If we don’t get what you’re trying to say….WRITE CLEARER POSTS.

There is value, in that it makes supporters feel like they’re not going insane. The delusional, cliche-ridden nonsense that Goodwin coughed up at the presser provided much less “value” than the truth-bombs Schwarz was dropping.
