Online - The Demons have a list as long as your arm both past and present .... but that says more about some "supporters" and I use the term very loosely for most Demon supporters online.

Offline - The online keyboard warriors have not got the balls to tell them to their face - all talk no action.

Personally, I've never come close to having a player in the team I feel I need to criticize ... but I would feel more comfortable looking for the positives and just backing them thru the good and the bad, past or present.

David Mackay. Supposed to be an outside midfielder, in any given season will play 1-3 good games and 10-20 shit games. But the media are generally silent on underperforming Crows players. In fact, the main talkback sport show in Adelaide often advocates the selection of experienced players who have done nothing lately, ahead of younger players who are playing blinders in the SANFL. The Crows Bigfooty board is ... a little bit less generous.

David's a good person by all accounts, and not the worst footballer to pull on the tricolour hoops. But he's usually heavily criticised for being the definition of vanilla, easily pushed off the ball, not finding enough of the ball, and having diabolical skills under any pressure. And worst of all, he seems to get games ahead of so many better players on the list, time after time. Rarely gets dropped, even after consecutive worst-on-ground performances. Still has 2 years left on his contract, reportedly worth $400,000 per season, giving him the nickname '400kay'. What makes the coaches so bloody reluctant to leave him out of the side is beyond me. Ever since Malcolm Blight left, our selections have been conservative at best, cowardly at worst.

We Crows supporters are very quick to turn on veterans when our coaches allow them to become liabilities that remain in the side.

Suckling is showing some real potential so far. Some are excusing him presently because of injury but that might wear thin as next season progresses.
Roberts and Jong cop it currently.
Boyd had some whippers amongst the crowd but that was more divided so not really a true whipping boy candidate. His finals display has him probably sitting as a crowd favourite now.

What difference would it make walking up to a Jimmy Toumpas or Chris Dawes at a training session to say: "You're ****ing despicable". Like they didn't already know they were playing shit!

Think before you post.

And for what it's worth the online Demons community is brilliant :thumbsu:
