<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.

To be call

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.

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")?

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.

How easy is it to collate that information ?

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.

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) !

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.

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.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
