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.

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
