    Is there a similar countdown site that I can consult regarding the time to go before the 2012 draft?

    I think Redleg is auditioning for it right now.

    I think that coutdown clock is RS.....1 day 29 hours to go when I looked at it! Hopefully it's the one GWS are working to?

    Ha. I think you're right. The time of the draft at 19:00 is right... Unusual.

    edit: No it's right. As Jack Jack has posted. Different units.

    The clock shows the countdown in different units. They're not added together.

    Can't believe no one has commented on Demtriou's disgusting comment at a GWS presser. He said what GWS did with Phil $ was fantastic as he is a great Recruiting Manager and the AFL loves keeping families together. Ox and Leach played it on their SEN show today and both were ropeable. Ox basically said that he was promoting cheating and Leach said it was a disgusting thing to say in that all the other clubs have paid for GWS to start up and here he was endorsing their rule breaking and the stabbing of the other clubs in the back. Both were furious that Demtriou was suggetsing that his salary was always going into their salary cap, when it only happened when they were caught. Ox also said that when MFC tried to keep T$ like Carlton did with 3rd party payments to Judd, the AFL stopped it in about 2 seconds, showing that they wanted him gone to GWS and stuff MFC.

    Why are you surprised at Demetriou's comments?

    Surely, it's logical he would say those things given he and the AFL were in on the whole scheme from the start?

    I am surprised that he said it and that no one on here has raised it.

    I did hear some of his comment in a small news grab yesterday Redleg, but I had not heard all of it.

    Makes my blood boil reading your post.

    and not only that, he also said "It's within the rules, it's in the salary cap, it's legitimate. We are a family code and it's good to keep fathers and sons together I think"

    How the eff is giving HWFUA a job in Sydney and his father a job in Melbourne keeping father and son together - sheesh wot a crock!.....you are a real [censored] Andrew

    How appropriate to bring this up on a no B$ thread! I am pretty sure that this was a deliberate and calculated statement by Dimwit, not off-the-cuff. He is simply parodying the style of Sheedy to try and give the AFL's club (read GWS) some sort of relevance, profile and build some artificial passion. He can jam it! Hating the AFL and GWS is a waste of energy and we can all see through this pathetic spin. I do get offended by liars though, but that's for a T$ thread not a no B$ thread.

    'Family code'?

    When someone reaches a certain level of importance and self-importance and arrogance they start to revel in their own hubris, and to be so unreflective as to say this is quite startling.

    I think he has only a short time left before the commission has to move past him.

    What an effing ridiculous thing to say in the name of PR in the northern states. Just ridiculous.

    Demetriou thanks the system that is in place and highlights GWS' genius work he exposes with getting Phil Scully. Yet Ken Wood declared it illegal. FMD.

    Wonder what Ken Wood may think of these comments.

    Quality parents don't piggy back or cash in on the opportunities presented to their son.

    This is the killer for me.

    It's a difficult situation, but to land yourself a job in which you are getting paid ten times more than you should be on the back of your sons talent illustrates pathetic character.

    It tells me all I need to know about that family.

  • Quote

    Someone called SEN during Ox's show, and went on about how much of a quality kid Scully is, and how his family has had to deal with a lot, and they are taking up an opportunity too good to refuse etc.

    I'm tired of hearing how much of a quality kid he apparently is.

    Quality kids don't stand up and tell straight out lies, whether it's for self interest or not.

    Quality kids stand by the decisions they make, and the ensuing consequences.

    Quality kids don't allow their mates to continue to back and support them, while knowing the truth is the complete opposite.

    Quality parents don't instruct their kids to lie.

    Quality parents don't piggy back or cash in on the opportunities presented to their son.

    What the Scully's do is entirely up to them, but the "quality" tag that continues to be mentioned with Scully is inaccurate.

    RD this is supposed to be the TS free zone.

    please go somewhere else

    No he can stay here, because the post is actually about a pathetic CEO of the AFL, not the kid who left us.

    He is actually getting 20 times more than the $5000.00 he got from the Swans this year. Also, he has now got the payment indexed by 5% per year and a fixed 6 year contract. He must be the greatest recruiter of all time. A 6 year indexed contract starting at $100000.00 per year. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    He probably thinks his boss is an idiot.

    • 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.
