The people have spoken, E25...

Perhaps you should listen to them.

DeezMan... E25 gets the 'gist' mate.

I know you guys were being vague, almost cryptic like but it was pretty obvious. Just understand it's in the best interests of the site and the people who run the site, as well as all members.

The people have spoken, E25...

Perhaps you should listen to them.

What HT said.

And you'll find, if you read this thread, I'm far from the only one with this opinion.

To say the "people have spoken" is an idiotic line. A few people have voiced their views.

I'll continue to listen to opinions, provided they are educated and considered.

Yours in this thread have been neither.

Things are never as good as they seem, nor are they as bad.

Geelong fans may have had the same attitude as you until the Stokes episode.

Theirs is a club full of highly-credentialled leaders, with a strong club culture and respected football dept and board.

They have set the benchmark, yet they are not immune.

Nor are we.

*face palm* You still do not get it, do you??

Read my original post again. You can only judge by what is in the present. Of course anything can happen in the future - that goes for anything in life!!! It's a flawed argument.

There's not time like the present and, at present, the Dees are being perceived in the public eye as "good guys" with minimal (if any) antisocial behaviour.

Mad Monday has passed and nor a murmur.

For me, this is not a debate about whether it (whatever it is) should be legal

I was getting sick of people making excuses for other people who make bad choices and illegal choices (and not just once)

Arguing it should be illegal or not is avoiding the issue of personal choice and responsibily and consequences

If you are not very familiar with drugs law in Victoria and Australia the I would suggest you take a closer look as they are very draconian, grossly unfair and should be changed. For example, if your housemate was selling/trafficking drugs from his bedroom and you had no idea about it you can still be charged and face several years imprisonment for trafficking drugs if the drugs are found at your house and a number of people have been jailed for this. Can you imagine being jailed because your housemate was a dealer but kept his trade well hidden from you?! In order to get escape a conviction you basically have to hope you housemate confessed otherwise you would be up [censored] creek.

I know its way off topic but I have very little faith in much of our legal system and don't like it when people base their opinions on 'the law'

What are you talking about?

I didn't give any opinion on whether recreational (or other) drug use should or should not be legal/illegal, I said that was for a different forum.

I didn't talk about any drug dealer's housemate or any other hypothetical rubbish you can come up with.

Go back and read all my posts from the beginning and understand the context I responded to

If you want to discuss changing the law then yes, you are off-topic, and no, I'm not saying the law is always correct.

Bump.

Speaking of touch wood.

How did the Demons go on Mad Monday?

Not even a murmur, Godemons.

They went to Riva in St Kilda and then on a pub crawl in which my mates' bro was working at one of the pubs! He said they were a great group of guys, caused no trouble and had a great time. All were easy to talk to as well.

I heard from JWatts the boys love the JD & Coke and as much as the boys tried they couldn't get Tom Scully to have a drink.

Young Tom certainly has his head screwed on properly. We are lucky to have him.

Has Sculls never had a drink in his life?

So he says.

Something along the lines of vowing to never to drink so he could make his dream of playing AFL.

Scares me a little, cos when guys like that finally get pressured into getting on the sauce when they are a little older (and they all do), things tend to go a little bit ben cousins.

I'd like to think he'll have a bit of champagne when he wins his first flag.

He'll be fine though. Gotta give him credit for his strength of character up until this stage, in spite of the peer pressure the boys at the club are already putting on him!

Very committed lad Scully is. Just hope that Ben Cousins affect doesnt occur, but he doesnt seem like that kind of person to do that sort of stuff. A champion in the making.

Geez that's being brought to the table already??? Pretty extreme!

18-19 years of age and a 21-gamer. Who knows what may happen... but he has publicly said he doesn't get on the alc and you can tell that the kid looks a VERY disciplined and controlled lad.

Looking forward to Sculls being a MASSIVE role model at his peak. Not that I'm bringing THIS to the table already... :)

Deezman just saying Scully will never be like Ben Cousins.

I would seriously doubt Sculls will associate with that kind of behaviour. Very smart, professional guy.

Cousins was on the drugs at 17, before he even got drafted.

WTF are the parallels here?? :wacko:

I don't get it either. The kid won't drink alcohol so he can play better footy and now he is setting himself up for a slide into drug abuse and disgrace according to some. Geez this site gets strange in the off season.

Sometimes they get a bit carried away with the "getting intoxicated" side of things.

I said "a little bit".

No need to take everything so literally and seriously.

Chillaxxx guys.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
