How come "T$ B$" is acceptable but my genius spoonerism of "Scum Tolly" wasn't? Boo.

I share your pain Nasher, but i am not a mod and have no powers on Demonland and in fact I am not responsible for the various name changes to this thread. They are being done by a higher power.

Speaking of higher powers, WJ has just arbitrarily locked the Denham thread. It was being viewed and added to regularly and yet on the whim of one person it is now locked. Goodbye to democracy and freedom of speech on Demonland.

Not prepared to give the programme any more free publicity and besides, it's been flogged to death like this thread and the banana fetishists around here.

Neither accurate and neither of which would stand up in a court of law as you would well know.

Perhaps you might want to explain to the punters what happened to your each way tip Bauer in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Flemington. An apology to Her Majesty for botching up the selections in her race would seem to be in order, would it not?

Have already spoken to her. She asked me why we didn't have a pick in the first round of this year's draft. I explained to her about Clark.

Just back from a 3.2k. 14 minutes - I think I need to do a little more work in order to be an elite mid, that's for sure . . .

Boy, do I have a Jack for you?

Knightmare's 2011 Mock Draft on bigfooty currently has Jack Charleston down as pick 52 which, conveniently enough, would make him a Demon (previously had him going to Collingwood for a later pick).

Jack Charleston (VIC – Mid/Util)

Height: 177cm, Weight: 83kg, DOB: 09/01/1993

Recruited from: Western Jets

Range: 35-rookie

Profile: Had a really nice season for the Western Jets though the midfield. Big ball winner. Has great footy smarts. Was probably pretty unlucky not to make the Metro squad. Really tough player with good pace. Not afraid to take on opposition players. Has grown strongly as the season has gone and is one to watch, has made the transition from back pocket to midfielder really quickly and can even go forward and have an impact.

You can also have Jack Crisp, Jack Newnes or Jackson Paine if you want.

Yes she thinks Clark will straighten us up. She also said we need to work on our press and disposal.

Will get in a little early here with 18 days and counting.

Draft comment: many Dees fans may miss the first 30 odd picks and then start getting involved with the Foxtel coverage.

They could do us a favour by televising all of the selections in reverse this year instead of just the first ten.

I think because of GWS the reverse coverage of the first 10 picks will be axed.

"We thought he would have gone early second round, maybe even late first round - we're certainly fortunate for him to be there at pick 36. The other two selections - we can't believe they weren't picked up earlier - put it this way, we were looking at them for pick 36 !" - quote to come from MFC recruiter post draft.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
