I also respect Jaded. But I have to say, there are a few armageddon posters on here that make it difficult to have a decent discussion after a loss. I was abused for bringing up a thread about not putting teams to the sword last year - because I was obviously getting ahead of myself. But you would think by the reaction to a couple of losses that everyone on here is accustomed to being in the 8 at this time of the year.

You shouldn't spend so much time defending yourself Nasher. I hate it when every week supporters who come here to dissect a game get crowded out by those who want to vent because they can't control their logic and emotions. And thoughtful discussion seems to enrage them even more. If you're not angry you must be a loser. Okay.

You're Glenn Giles?

For you to make such a personal guarantee either Simon told you himself or you are one of our listed players. And even then, I can't entirely trust that it's not just a matter of you not listening properly to what Goodwin is trying to tell you. We do appear to have some rather stupid players based on the available evidence. And credulous hangers-on.

Goodwin made the most worst selection ever Petty shouldn't have played was thrown to the wolves Goody must be stopped!!!!! Meanwhile, over in the Changes vs. Freo thread . . . We need more speed. IN: Baker

I was of the opinion that Frost played reasonably well once included in 2017. Until Darwin. Where he had a shocker - and faded out for the remainder of the year. Not sure if was the conditions for his poor outing - but I do recall a number of crucial fumbles.

I'm not sure what you're getting at Jumbo. I know nothing about what has occurred other than what Brayshaw has related. Other posters were trying to spin it as if our players are completely in the dark about what they need to do to improve. This is a nasty falsehood. There was however an attitude element of Brayshaw's non-selection that Goodwin didn't address directly. Angus was behaving like a petulant child. I speculated that Goodwin may have felt it better to let Gus come to the conclusion himself that he needed to grow up.

Angus was having a sook about not being selected. Even those at Casey commented on it. Goody may have felt that it was important for Brayshaw's personal development to reflect on why he wasn't being selected and adjust his attitude. Other posters are insinuating that our players are receiving no feedback at all - which is just out and out nonsense as a smear on Goodwin.

It may be absolutely true that you were told something. This doesn't make what you were told absolutely true. However, I haven't been told anything by anyone and still know full well what you've been told is utter nonsense. You can do better than this LH. The frank meeting wasn't a footballing matter - it was an attitude issue. Gus was being a sook. Goodwin may have considered it best for Brayshaw's development to let him figure this out on his own.

Would be the biggest upset of the year if we lost.

I reckon that we should get Gaff.

I have such an absolute unhealthy disdain for Caro that I'd be banned for life if I shared my true feelings on Demonland. But while she could have perhaps touched a little bit more on the rationale for Pert's recruitment, I don't have a problem with this article at all. In fact, it shed some light on a few things that were giving off an uncomfortable vibe (the silence from AFL HQ etc.) and I actually feel better and more confident about the appointment for having read it. Two in a row, including the camp article.

Based on the overwhelming evidence of this photo and second-hand reports of a grumpy media interview earlier this week I feel confident in making an expert diagnosis that Tomald is exhibiting symptoms of aggression and disinhibition due to a case of traumatic brain injury (TBI) he has incurred from his hit against Port. The mist that kevin martin spoke of at training was clearly a red mist of anger radiating off of Tom and settling as a fine dust on his glowing pink face. I'm looking forward to seeing how this possible permanent brain damage and uncontrollable rage and might translate on the field against the Saints. A lot of potential upside.

I'm actually a fan and believe he still has plenty of development left in him. Maybe Masterchef can also give us some tips on how best to prepare a headless chook.

Do you think they'll release the spycam footage when Frost is told he's off to the Gold Coast? Hopefully we learnt a few tricks from Masterchef so as to capture the full emotional weight of his personal devastation.

Imagine he cemented a spot and went on to win a flag with Port this year. One of the most unlikely footy careers. Good luck Jack. Apologies for keeping that flag from you.

How lovely it would be to a MFC KPD before your first game. Universal admiration on fan forums and yet to be subjected to top-flight teams penetrating your diamond. One slip up in one of the most difficult defensive set-ups in the league and he'll be off to the delist thread no doubt.

An MFC-themed playground with a never-ending merry-go-round and a ten-foot deep ball-crawl. We could even pitch in for the Demonland/Bi-polar Association co-sponsored see-saw.

You should go to our training sessions SWYL. The players might become more accustomed to dealing with the higher volumes of noise.

We are still the top-scoring team in the competition. It's simples. We sacrifice some of our defence for higher-scoring. A little from one column to add to the other column. We've been doing this all along. It's our theory on how to win - weather it's correct or not. But you can't celebrate all our goals and then bemoan that we let some easy ones through. The notion is to continually improve at each end. Be a little bit better with forward efficiency and let just a few less goals in. Small margins that will make a massive difference when it fully clicks. Lever, in this sense, was a massive blow.

Rusty, are these your stats? I recall someone had their own system but not sure who. There will always be statistical biases in any system when comparing players across positions (and not accounting for intangibles) but in general these tables are a reasonable reflection of what many here I think would consider the form-lines of most of our players.

It looks like we may have to cut out a small chunk of the scoreboard and a fair section of the stadium roof. MCC not gonna like that. Not to mention all those cars we'll flatten. Maybe we can sort a compensation package through Zurich?

2000: 6-7

A selection of Demonland comments regarding the standard of umpiring vs. Port: Nicholls is a cheating dog. Curl up and d^^ Nicholls. Nicholls again. Dead set [censored] Nicholls must be investigated. The club must step up and make a complaint about that cheating dog Nicholls....Blatantly favouring Port. I can't remember leaving a Matthew Nicholls game happy that it has been officiated well. From the very start of the third quarter, it was just a string of dodgy calls from this pin-head - call after call after call against us. Excuse my language, but that umpire Nicholls is a [censored] [censored] camel [censored] [censored] stain Blatant cheats. Nicholls is the worst, before the Port game he waved and winked to two Port fans in the crowd. I hate Nicholls- he's a trounced up affront to humanity. Those comments were from last year

I think you may have missed the most crucial one Gonzo. Vince contests the ball in a pack, and the back of his arm hits someone (then Wingard for goal) entering the pack on follow through. Wtf? Though - Vince: 'I don't care if he's bleeding' - made it at least a fraction amusing. Still, that was the tide there and then.
