<p>Okay Demonlanders ...

Our season horribilus is nearly over and finals will soon be upon us. In the spirit of September, I thought it might be a good idea to inaugurate a new award to honour your favourite Demonland poster of the year.

1st of Sept is a Saturday.

Ron Burgundy, just for this piece of genius:


Three nominations for now.

Tonotopia-purely for his persistence.

WYL-for his violent mood swings.

Thank you Biff for getting the ball rolling!

 

I'll put it out there that I'm not a fan of this idea. I don't like popularity contests as a rule and it's not just because I'm not very popular. :P Posters get rewarded with good posts now through the "like" system, so I don't think a big love in is necessary, useful or even interesting - everyone knows who the good posters are.

Might see what the other admins think...

No problems with the idea, but calling an internet forum award the "Jim Stynes Medal" doesn't sit that well with me...

Maybe the "Matt Burgan Medal"? Haha... But seriously, don't think the name is that appropriate.

Anyways, my noms are:

-KC for his great updates on the magoos

-Old Dee for being the resident rocking chairer

-Hardtack for being probably the most level headed out of all of us


The best posters are the ones that do the match reports! Jack, Oracle, Mean Gene, KC from Casey, Grapeviney and everyone else. Thanks for outstanding match reports and previews. Much better reading than the papers.

We should try to dig up the most "Liked" post and see what it was about.

I tend to agree with nasher, but i'll have my piece anyway!

Old dee - for his entertaining posts made up of 4 word sentences with zero sugar coating

Pennant St Dee - Generally offers ballanced posts, doesnt get caught up in the media hysteria and his opinions arent an echo of the usual suspects

Whispering Jack - quality posts in general

KC from Casey - VFL match reports

rpfc - for shear weight in numbers of posts and his live Contracts thread

Nasher - Because he's not a fan of this idea.

Range Rover - Entertaining reading, nice balance of footy talk and humour with a pinch of absurdity.

rpfc - Kinda like Range Rover, don't agree with everything he says, but usually worth the read.

Ben 'H' Hur - Knows his [censored].

Sloonie McFloonieloone - Just to break up the sausage-fest that these nominations will be. I like a bird with a sense of humour and a Sin City avatar. Call me.

Why not tally all members "Likes" divided by the "Number of posts" and whoever has the highest score is most popular (or at least most "liked")?

What's the go Nasher? Just a bit of fun.

That's not fair, because someone like me joined (under this guise) when 'likes' were available from the outset, whereas most other posters had a heap of postings prior to the 'like' system coming in.

I'll only contribute if I can start the "Dolt Award".

The take the tally from when the "likes" were introduced.

I like the idea of the "Dolt award".

Don't mind the "vote for" award as well as it rewards sheer volume (i.e. notoriety).

I prefer a stats based award for quality over the season, hence the "Most Liked" award... and dividing by Number of posts (since "likes" introduced) means we are talking about quality rather than quantity.

Then take the tally from when the "likes" were introduced.

How easy is it to collate that information ?

Okay! Award has been approved by head office pending a name change.

I';ve decided to go with the David Neitz Medal © in honour of our long serving club captain and games record holder.

So ... fire away with your nominations and PLEASE NOTE ... This thread is No Sniping Zone (NSZ) !

It can be done - I'm sure I found a feature somewhere that just listed the posters with the most number of likes a few weeks ago, but I haven't been able to find it again since. I can manually query the database to work it out otherwise.

Look, I think my original post has got it right.

- Field nominations (max 5 per poster)

- 20 popular go into the poll

- Final poll to determine the Neitz Medal winner.

Easy peasy Japanesey

I'll never live down the relax "relax we've got this"thread where I stated we would smash the tigers at the start of the year. It's not the best post but should be in the running for dumbest.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
