The Cult of Disco Turner

Praying for everyone to be back against the Cats at taxpayer stadium 🤞

Surprised nobody has suggested giving Tom Campbell a go next week given the potential AJ suspension and his struggles in the ruck when Max was resting in the 4th.

Kudos to the new comms team MFC has clearly brought in—almost certainly their idea.

And May and Melksham and Kolt and AMW.

By this logic GWS should be the worst team in the comp every year…

Honestly wouldn’t be a bad looking turnout if people weren’t afraid to sit on the wet seats…

Anyone know if the Warne stand will be closed or not?

Tbf we beat the Bombers in the wet last year with no ruck

To my eyes this is so much more violent and intentional than the Kozzy/Moore incident and yet both are 3 games… Just so inconsistent.

I’m sure Disco will get another Turn(o) I have been waiting for this moment since I created the username tbh

…we haven’t even played a game yet and they’re currently getting dominated in this Q3.

Smart decision I think. I frequently check and refresh Demonland after I post because I really enjoy your replies and reactions.

…are you sure you were watching the same match sim as the rest of us…?

I expect to be shouted down for this but I feel like Billings has actually looked pretty good…

Yeah what’s even the point? Might as well just throw in the towel now and start getting ready for 2026 I suppose. /s

Go touch grass.

We need you on the PR team because this is one helluva spin on this bin fire

Maybe that’s why Clarry would like to end up there? 🤣

Yes, as someone who grew up in the states I can verify that this is pretty spot on. We leave for college at 18 and that’s kind of when you’re supposed to fully step into adulthood and out of the family home. The pandemic paired with cost of living has definitely changed that a bit. But even so it’s been an adjustment for me living in Melbourne to see people living with parents into their late 20s and to not see it as a bad thing. We are told you’re supposed to be out when you finish Uni and into your own life and being at home any longer means you’re unsuccessful/lazy/can’t make it on your own. Add it to the list of the many absurd aspects of American individualism/work culture.

Nathan Kreuger and Joe Richards and they’ll even throw in a bundle of sherrins for training! How generous!

On second reading you are definitely right. Haven’t had my coffee yet and at this point no level of ridiculous takes from the AFL media would shock me. Thanks for pointing out!

Damo: “he may want to consider a LeBron James-style broadcast to announce his next club of choice. Imagine the boost, Christian, of those Instagram followers. The NBA icon in 2010 revealed his decision to leave the Cavaliers for the Heat in The Decision, a 75-minute broadcast, with commercials, on ESPN. Ooooh, the tension, as we wait to hear, from 'Brand Petracca' himself, the football reasons as to why he wants out of the Melbourne Football Club.”

Half of our best 22 re-sign in the past 3 months and mention being thrilled to be at the club *crickets* One player who is clearly going through a lot and is obviously getting bad/weird advice is unhappy and they’re trying to resolve it internally *EVERYONE PANIC!!! THE CLUB IS FAILING US ALL!!*

This wreaks of an attempt by his camp to shift the media narrative back to being sympathetic to Trac and making the club the problem and away from the absurdity and selfishness of wanting to move clubs to grow your “brand.”

So I’m originally from the states (I know, I’m sorry, it wasn’t my choice) and I’ve spent a lot of time watching diva players in sport (NBA in particular), but usually they have some level of leverage and/or only request a trade when they know other teams have the assets and interest to trade for them. The thing that gets me about this is I literally cannot see how Trac believes he has any leverage or other club interest at all. As many others have said here, when you combine the massive salary, the likely repercussions physically from the injury, the mental toll he’s discussed, the age, the toxic diva behaviour, and the assets required to get him, burning bridges—no matter how troubled the club is—seems shockingly ill advised. This is all just so bizarre and I feel like it’s inevitable that I catch your collective MFCSS after only a few years of membership… 😢
