is he a star now?

So if we troll through ancient demonland posts to find where you contradicted yourself, or made an incorrect prediction, will we find anything?

Fair dinkum occo, if you think you've shown us something we didn't know by being pessimistic about EVERY player on the list, then claiming you were right when SOME of them turn out to be duds, you're sadly mistaken.

Stop wasting room on the first page of the threads.

Not in the sense of proving anyone wrong or not in making people look stupid

but i still find it interesting to read ancient threads and remind myself that carroll actually was a very good player and that things have changed so much since 06

sincere apology to everyone who read this. I had a few family friends at this holiday house and demonland was open. While i was outside some of the guys came on and posted stuff on here. I can understand that this was stupid to leave it open and will take appropriate courses of action in future to restrict this from happening again. Again sorry to all those who read it

No worries occo. No harm done.

Still it was interesting to see how a player with great potential to be anything in the space of around 2 years completely stuff it up. It's a good lesson in life for everyone. If a chance comes your way use it & cherish it because if you don't somebody else will...and chances very rarely come around a second time.

    RETRO by The Oracle

    I like the AFL’s idea of a Retro Round but I don’t think we need to go back as far as 1998 as suggested by the Melbourne Football Club. Three years will be good enough for me. I would happily travel back in time on the  Demonland DMC De Laurean to Thursday 8th July 2021, a time when the fog of COVID19 was slowly lifting and Melbourne gave Port Adelaide a 31 point spanking at Adelaide Oval. Before that, there’s really not much to go retro about all the way back to the early 90s when the Port team

    LEARNINGS by KC from Casey

    It took little time for Footscray to establish its domination over the Casey Demons in their VFL Round 19 clash at Mission Whitten Oval on Friday afternoon. The Doggies had the early advantage of the breeze and, as those with a knowledge of the old VFL venue second only to Essendon’s ground for swirly winds will tell you, a good start is vital in such conditions. The five goal to one opening term which saw Footscray’s midfield dominate possession, turned out to be enough to secure the win a

    HALF HEARTED by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne fell out of the premiership race after producing a half-hearted effort against Footscray on Friday night. The team was barely recognizable from the one that, earlier in the season, established a 6/2 win-loss ratio that included a 55-point thumping of the Bulldogs in Round 1. It was a poor effort from a team that had its entire season on the line and the blame falls almost squarely on the midfield which has collapsed from being a peerless premiership-winning combination to the leve

    POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs Western Bulldogs

    It’s Season Over for the Demons as they were blown out of the water from the outset of the match against the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium ultimately going down by 51 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day, and the Demons' hopes for making the finals in the 2024 season are hanging by a thread. A loss would be the final blow to a disappointing season, while a win against the in-form Bulldogs would offer a temporary reprieve. LFG!

    DEMONS by The Oracle

    After losing their last two games in a row to finals aspirants, the Demons’ season has unravelled in the blink of an eye. They take on the Bulldogs on Friday night at Marvel Stadium in what has become a “do-or-die” contest to remain in contention for September AFL action and the reality is that they have been forced into a situation in which they are already thinking in terms of mathematical possibilities despite the fact that it’s still a close race and even with four rounds left to play.
