MFC Fans Only Non-Demons AFL Discussion – 2024: This year really stinks (but not as much as the Gold Coast rebrand)

[DemonZombie_001]

Weid delisted by the bombers.

Another waste of a top 10 pick.

I would be surprised if he gets picked up elsewhere even though he looks every inch a footballer but he never quite made that step up.

The 2015 Draft. A bit of a wild ride !

I really wanted us to take Curnow. I also remember wanting to take Darling over Cook.

I have no issue with players getting sanctioned for the Wacky Wednesday. Sure it was meant to be in private. But they have it drummed into them around appropriate behaviours including racism and sexism. They have AFLW Teams. Times have changed. I posted some pictures earlier from past end of year celebrations and some of those were probably laughed at and no player suspended. Probably a telling off for the demon players. Not sure about the cats players. I don’t know how much education if any players got back then.

This is such a nothing statement. Who gives a ****?
When all the men can go through the private lives of the women and their phones and tick them off under their moral standards as squeaky clean then sure. Until then it's an absolute wank statement

I really thought he’d arrived in that 2018 finals series. That Geelong final was something.

Who gives a ****? Plenty of women, as well as men who aren't stuck in the past

Another rubbish nothing statement
Not at all surprised comedy is something that doesn't work with you.

Such a nothing career and such a poor selection by JT. Hope he does better this draft.

Perhaps you can enlighten him on the comedic value of dressing up as a convicted paedo, or doing a skit about an alleged sexual assault?

You know how insanely stupid trying to explain comedy is? It's subjective. An it was subjective to people who were supposed to be in a private room.

Well, what might have been funny about it? What would the lads back in Gippy, say, crack up about re those topics?

Edit:
And even if whether something is funny or not, comedy has certain forumlas and mechanics for jokes. How would a premise be established, what sort of storyline would it fit into, what sort of a punchline would used?

Sorry now you're saying that a bunch of young blokes need to follow established formulas for professional comedy now?

Why does a stupid meme on Instagram make you laugh Dory?
Why is South Park funny?
Why is jim Jefferies funny?
Pushing boundaries and taking the piss out of bad situations makes people laugh.

Would you be open to sending every single meme an joke that's ever come across your phone to be subjected to a panel of randoms to determine if it's funny?

It's just stupid.

An also irrelevant. They did it in private which keeps being ignored

 

[Topkent]

An again this is the dumb part, if a joke missed the mark so ****ing what? It's a joke in a private room, it's allowed to miss. They didn't do any of the things, they took the piss outta the people who did.

Insane to suspend them

I'm not saying they have to, but in any case almost all jokes by pros or schmucks will follow some sort of
Establishment -> buildup -> punchline process for the medium.

Yes, pushing boundaries can be funny but it's not just 'Jarryd Hayne was arrested for sex offences' (laughter ensues). There are actual techniques to doing it well. That's why SP and JJ and even meme shitposters are liked and build up a style, they use a r o u t i n e.

Sorry, I thought you understood comedy better.

So you were in the room and no for a fact they didn't follow your nerd blanket rules for comedy?

Or are you saying that anything that follows your formula by definition must be ok then no matter what the subject

Memes don't use a routine the hell are you talking about lol

Next time someone nails a perfect one liner I'll stop them and make sure I tell them they actually didn't follow dorys rules for laughter

Crazy to think this country is enduring a violence against women epidemic yet so many people think making rape and sexual assault jokes is ok.

Would heartily recommend discussing this topic with the women in your lives to gain a better understanding of why 'silly jokes' and dressing up as sexual offenders actually impacts them.

The sexual assault stuff is juvenile garbage but a 9/11 skit is surely within the realms of dumb but acceptable humor

I feel this game is over hyped. He had a great game but I would say it was something special.



Just highlights I know it doesn't show much. But a goal from a blocking free. Second good mark in the pocket but shit defending from Geelong. He also almost missed from pretty close. His third was the best going back at the flight of the ball. Some nice work marks around the ground. Maybe I'm being too negative but not sure his game was special.

Weid reminds me of the Pokemon move Thunder.

Weids problem was even though he was touted as a strong mark coming into AFL he double grabbed everything (And sometimes really found it hard to get into a game). Factor that in with his lack of competitiveness and I'm surprised he even lasted this long.

Remember that game against Adelaide in 2019 when he had a pretty regulation shot to win the game? You just knew he was never getting near it.

Was a shocking confidence player. If he didn't start well you could write off the rest of the game.

Was there it happened right in front of me. Mind you the entire team shat the bed in the last quarter. 1.8 to 5.2. Melbourne kicked 3.12 in the second half, very typical Melbourne fade in 2019.

My mind goes to 2022 game against essendon. Missed an absolute sitter from directly in front and then kicked a beauty from the boundary very similar to Dom Sheed. As legs pointed out was a confidence thing. No expectation to kick it so he nailed it.
