We are the sydney blues,

The new light blue M&M blues,

Where the team that always tries to cheat even when no one else can.

We try take your champions, try to prop up our dud list, but in the end we keep on trying to buy another flag!

(I couldn't help myself)

    Hmmmm, another chance for a Tassie Team? They seem to have a serious case! (I would never change aleigences but would definitely have a soft spot for them)

    My bet is the AFL will never bow, which disappoints me alot. :angry:

    Consider this highly speculative notion.

    With the advent of GC17 and Sydney West would that put our club and pehaps West Coast and freo being the teams to really benefit from the last proper drafts fror many a year.

    Many here have considered the compromised draft as a negative. I see it as a positive as it will mean that our club was the one to bottom out in the three years preceding GC17 putting us at an advantage over other established clubs.

    If Sydney West were to have come on board as well and we were to finish well down the ladder and get priority picks in 2009 our club may have been the best poised to be at the head of the competition by say 2012 and onwards when our draft picks mature.

    Is that because you'd find yourself lost on the way out? :P

    MEMO:

    TO: AFL

    FROM: DEMONLAND

    SUBJECT: WE TOLD YOU SO! :lol:

    Hang on - all the article says is the team won't be formed by 2011, and the target date is 2012. So what's one season? From what I can tell the intent is still there.

    Correct. As I said its on hold. Of course the intent is still there. Public opinion was the Western Sydney front appeared rushed straight on the back of GC17. The AFL have realised more work needs to be done for Western Sydney. At least they are now acknowledging in the current economic climate that WS18 shouldn't be rushed.

    Reading the article you should note: -

    Instead of pushing to create an under-18 team by 2010 and follow the Gold Coast model, the AFL looks certain to spend the next two years investing in extra development and marketing in the non-traditional football region, which Fitzpatrick noted at last week's AFL Future Directions conference had provided a disappointing return on its investment.

    "The commission has put off a final decision on the western Sydney team until the end of next year."

    Whilst they may have put off the formation date, it looks as though this back peddling may result in further back peddling for the target date of 2012.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
