Just click on LINKS on the right hand side of the screen. It will give a full list.

 

links on which page?

It's on the opening page when you go to Demonland. There is a red bar across the top . Links is the last one. Good luck.

I must admit I enjoy taking a sneaky look at other club forums. Tigerland in particular was fun to browse when they were languishing down the bottom with no light at the end of the tunnel. Good for a chuckle..

One thing I've noticed and found interesting is how highly other supporters seem to rate Bate. Much higher than many of our own supporters seem to, myself included. Yet his name continually pops up when our best players are being mentioned.


Hi Guys

Thanks for this ... you have to read this thread from yesterdays game from the Swans forum.

Its called the Red & The White online

Rd 17 Sydney v Melbourne Game Thread

LMAO .... geez it was funny reading their comments.

The game thread in the Swans section on bigfooty is good stuff too. The hatred toward's Bruce's emotional commentary is hilarious.

This from the Swans forum made my day:

"They were outstanding today, but the scoreline flattered them. Had it been played on even terms I think we would've lost in a close one."

Thanks for that...some of the funniest reading I've seen in a while. Is good for us to be making supporters feel that way about their team as opposed to having it done to us!

Wow the swans supporters really let each other and the team have it. And I thought we were bad at times.


This from the Swans forum made my day:

"They were outstanding today, but the scoreline flattered them. Had it been played on even terms I think we would've lost in a close one."

"Even terms"?! Ha ha ha. What do they want? Slow us down with lead in our shoes?!

:lol: 142-69.

What do they mean by even terms? Is this reference to our number of possible inclusions? Grimes, Trengove, Moloney, Junior?

Strange indeed.

Bloody sore losers is all.

We handed them the classical a$$ whooping without some legit star players in Moloney, Grimes and McDonald; and without up and coming stars of Petterd and Trengove.

The umps are a poor excuse. Both teams had good and bad calls; and free's that were there not given. It certainly wasn't the umpires' worst outing...

"Even terms"?! Ha ha ha. What do they want? Slow us down with lead in our shoes?!

maybe they`re refering to bigger concessions under the salary cap so they can buy another flag


This from the Swans forum made my day:

They complained that much about the umpires i think "even terms" means had the umpires not "favoured us" it would have been a close game.

Another poster had said that we apparently scored 10 goals from frees from the umpires!! lol

The umpires are surely the reason for a 73 Point loss and the biggest loss under paul roos.... Not only are they are bunch of sooks I had no idea how delusional sydney supporters are!!!

Heres a quote from one poster.

I am also angry that the stupid AFL will not recognize the tanking and that it is cheating!!!!

Another poster also commented that maybe sydney should tank for picks.

Its funny that the jealousy over our team as already started and we are still yet to even play a final... cant wait til we are dominating the competition and winning flags... how jealous will everyone be then!!!

Good times ahead demons!!!

The free kick count was a little in our favour, but given the advantage in tackles you'd expect that.

AND AND AND... we were first at the friggin' ball all bloody day!!

Cop it, Swannies.

Interesting to see a lot of them seem to think our gameplan is identical to that of Collingwood.

I'd have thought the way we bring it through the corridor and they play to the flanks & pockets would be a dead giveaway.

Lets not Forget Barry Hall's King Hit in the Preliminary final back in 2005. He should never have beaten that charge.

The Swannettes got a very lucky flag in 2005 so there whingeing is totally Spineless IMO


The most interesting thing about that swans website is how little any of them know about the game. Wolftone57 about the only exception.

Most don't know diddly.

During On The Couch last night Healy showed a map of how the Woods, the Cats and Us played round 17.

It showed us going wide much more than Geelong, similarly to, though not as much as the Pies. What was going on was our blokes running to create space against a team that likes to close the game down.

Any other week we might be more corridor-centric - but not this week.

I read the swans site.

Very Entertaining!!

I was surprised with the number of their supporters who did credit our performance and congratulate our team. Several said that our team would be "scary" in coming seasons, others surprised me with their significant knowledge of our list and complemented the draft orientated list build. A couple even spoke of the inspiration of Stynes.

I hate to say this but overall I thought they spoke significantly more politely and highly about us than this site would have about them if the situation was reversed. So what, many fairly had a crack at the umpires, some correctly called us tankers, but no one complained that the best team did not win. Overall they were much more level headed than the rubbish I sometimes read on this site after a humiliating loss.

Excellent post GNF. There is an old saying about glass houses.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
