Sorry, but you're a dumb ****.

Crap plus crap plus crap plus crap plus speculative pick does not equal a likely A grader. Surely you've been around long enough to know this ? Why do supporters package up fringe players and think that the quantity of shitness will evaluate one potential star. You could package 10 C graders and it still wouldn't add up.

lol

    What ? You want me to assume you're not an idiot and I have to guess when you're joking ? Then I subsequently read that Jeremy Cameron reminds you of Peter Bosustow ?

    Computer says no.

    Cameron may be taller but his ability to time a leap in congestion certainly reminds me of Bosustow, who was a fantastic pack mark. Have a look at some his Youtube highlights.

    Bosustow was no slouch. May have only played 60 odd games but kicked 160 odd goals for the Blues and played in two premierships. He was good.

    I don't want you to assume anything except for the fact that you are not the fount of all football knowledge on Demonland.

    And that the sarcasm function on your "computer" may need a virus check.

    I don't bother with sarcasm detection from people I don't know. I only read words and assume nothing. I could post on the same forum as you for a decade and have no clue about your posting style, or general thoughts. I have no interest in other posters or their personalities.

    Oh and I remember Bosustow exceedingly well. He was nothing like Cameron, but to each their own.

    Ben ,

    Clearly ,if you do not like jokes ,other poster or personalities then perhaps you should write your "intelligent football thoughts" down in what we call a "diary".

    In that way you will spare us all your extensive knowledge of the mundane .

    Peter Bosustow reminded me a lot of Allen Jakovich both were freaks on the field who left the game far too early.

    Perhaps Ben Hur could stop posting on Demonland and write his own blog instead. Given his unbelievable level of football knowledge and acumen it would become an internet sensation and be a must read by any serious footy person. Clubs could scale back their investment in recruiters and opposition analysts and just read his blog - think of the money they would save. Just look at his thoughts on Cameron - the best player in the league in 5 years and Watts just a good average player. Genius wasted on his fellow Demonlanders. He deserves a much bigger audience!

    Did BH/H also say that he took no notice of the community he is heavily involved in?

    Get in his manager's ear now.

    5 mil for 5 years. Starting 2014.

    The ultimate payback.

    Yep....exactly what I've been thinking mate!

    Not just for payback factor but because he will be such a monstrous forward which we would love next to MItch for twin tower effect!

    Ohh yeah....please footy gods...give us something!

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
