Jaded No More

Turner will surely start down back. May is in less than peak fitness and I reckon Turner is a great matchup for Chol who is super athletic.

If Viney wore a Collingwood Geelong or Carlton jumper maybe…

The guy copped a week actually for that hit. Rightly so. [censored]!

Unbiased commentary on Dees radio? What, is it being hosted by Demonland posted? "We are terrible. We can't kick goals. Simon is not the right guy". I reckon listening to Dermie is sometimes less depressing than reading Demonland.

Imagine being a club president who defended Maynard, De Goey and 'The Rat Pack', while also overseeing a culture of rampant racism, and then passing judgement on what other club presidents are doing. I don't know what is bigger, Eddie's chin or his ego.

Not sure you’re inviting someone you don’t want at your club over for a spa… or dinner with other teammates like Trac did yesterday. But by all means, let’s keep spreading light and positivity 🙄

How long does Clarry deserve to suffer for his past behavior? Nobody is saying he is without sin. He made mistakes and he’s paid for them, personally and professionally. I mean we have players in the system who have committed actual crimes, that haven’t copped half as much harassment as Clarry has. He has worked so hard over the pre season to get himself to a great spot. It’s actually heartbreaking that he’s had to take time off to deal with the relentless external pressure. You’d think he’d punched a guy and hasn’t been getting a touch. The pile on is absolutely disgusting, not to mention completely disproportionate.

No you don’t. And by the way, taking time off to deal with your mental health IS taking responsibility.

So that makes the charges he’s facing not a story? Seriously?! And don’t give me this BS about the contract. McKay is on equally big money. Allen is the captain of his club. Clarry can be on 10 million a year, and not get a touch, and it still doesn’t give any journalist the right to hound him relentlessly, when the club has made it abundantly clear that he’s dealing with some personal issues and they asked for his privacy to be respected. Clarry is a human being before he is a football player that you feel owes you to be fitter or better. If he was your son or your friend, I’m sure his paycheck would be of no concern to you if he told you he’s struggling.

Don’t even get me started on this BS. Willie Rioli literally sends threatening messages to an opponent, Balta bashes a guy, Bruhn is up on the most vile offenses, but somehow Clarry is the one being hounded relentlessly for the past 18 months. Imagine why he would like to play for a club that could make someone up on SA charges have a 12 months finger injury and not a single article written about them…

Or, and hear me out, the journalists can just back off and give him time to get himself right off the field. He’s a champion of this game and has literally proven time and again what a fantastic player he is, including by turning the game against Richmond just a week ago. He has had his issues, and he is not perfect (who is?!), but whether he is back to being an A grader or not, has no bearing on whether he deserves the same respect and privacy the media has shown the likes of Allen and McKay when they recently took time out. Need I remind you that Allen, club captain, has met a rival coach, while McKay who is on a million bucks a year, still can’t kick for goal and took time off while his club was winless. And yet nobody wrote 800 articles full of lies about them! When are people going to take stock of their own behavior? When we lose another player to suicide?

Is Felgate thick, or is she just pretending? Clearly Brad is referring to ALL the loser journalists who have gone to town this week, and wrote literal garbage about Clarry, after the club specifically asked for privacy and told the world he’s having a hard time. Like FFS Jacqui, stop defending these useless ambulance chasers who are the first ones to cry when the footy world loses a player to mental health battles, but also the first ones to put out a dozen articles getting stuck into players when they’re struggling. [censored] RIGHT OFF!

I mean they don’t fact check any of the other 💩 they write about Clarry, so why bother getting his age right? How these people still have day jobs is beyond me.

Breaking news: teams rely on their best players too much Also breaking news: how good is Dangerfield going carrying Geelong to victory at his age

Maybe Clarry knows that if he went to play for Geelong, the media would finally leave him alone and let him be 🙄

Gibney caused not one but two players to get concussed yesterday by being the last man in the contest, and pushing Petty into McGovern. He is the only one with a case to answer, and form in this area having done the same thing to Lalor. Melksham took a perfectly legal mark, by using his forearm to protect the fall of the ball. It wasn’t even a free kick, let alone a suspension. True to form, Melksham will get 6 weeks for breathing in a Melbourne jumper tho.

They live on a planet over in WA. It’s not planet earth, but it’s a planet nonetheless. Brave Eagles and Flagmantle doing a fine job for WA football.

He is not. Please stop believing one of the worst journalists going around. Seriously.

Trying to not waste my time arguing buttholes

Really hope that all the keyboard heroes on this site who enjoy calling Clarry fat, lazy, unmotivated and so forth when they know absolutely stuff all, sit the [censored] down and shut the [censored] up.

He would be an outstanding footy manager if we decide to part ways with Richo at the end of 2025.

This has to be the most positive thread we’ve had on Demonland in months. Great read and thank you to everyone who made the effort to attend and report. Kept me busy while I spent the last 24 hours in hospital with my better half.

I wouldn’t worry about Max and Ed. They’re cycling thru the Sahara desert like a couple of unwell fitness freaks. They’ll be at negative body fat next week.

Carlton with the third easiest draw. The AFL is desperate to get them a flag.
