Demonland confirms that following discussions, it has been agreed that Range Rover will explore Free Agency opportunities.

The forum would like to thank and acknowledge RR for his contributions over many seasons. Rangie won the Barry Prendergast Memorial Trophy, as Best in Hindsight in 2011, 2012 and 2008. His memorable contributions include: "Why oh why doesn't my Darling love me enough to come to Melbourne", "Poll: who needs to go" (in which the options were Watts or Predergast and RR did quite well in a late surge) , "Poll: Watts or Naitanui; did we get it wrong or did we just [censored] up big time" and the all-time favourite "Demonland posters are to accepting of my polls –no more excuses."

Melbourne coach Mark Neeld said, “We respect RR’s position, and the fact that he has been up front with us throughout the process, and his decision not to get on the reality bus or wear anything other than his rear view mirrored sunglasses. This is the new world of planning for the future - RR is a restricted past agent and the rules of the forum allow him to explore these opportunities and to poll everyone about them as well. We wish him well for the future past, which he loves to talk about so much.”

RR said, “I have enjoyed my time at Demonland, but it’s now time to pursue other opportunities including flirting with Bomberblitz which hasn't exploited the opportunities to demolish the weapon. I am grateful for everything the Club has given me other than Pick 1 in 2008, that disastrous pick 12 for a forward and frankly just about every other pick made in between. I have built great relationships with Melbourne's recruiting staff and I wish all involved the best for their past indiscretions because they will haunt them for the rest of their lives just like I will. I am planning a short break in Perth and Fiji before I decide my next move. ”

Range rover isn't the worst on here by any stretch. Someone else who's initials also happen to be RR absolutely does my head in with his stupid posts and his whining and moaning about every little thing posted that's slightly controversial or hard on someone. The day he pisses off the better we'll all be.

Rr, maybe you'd hold more weight if you pulled the silver spoon out of your mouth.

Bit rough. I was just taking the mickey out of RR. I've got no drama with RR. If someone on a footy forum can get you riled up I think a scotch is in order.

Shouldn't they award the 2012 hindsight award in 2013?

Maybe we should run an old fashioned RR style poll on it?

Where is RR?

Range, not Rhino....

Has he been blocked? Surely not......

He might have been poached by 'Roy Morgan research' :)

Come back Rangey , we need more polls !

Thank you gentlemen. I take it all in good spirit and am kind of chuffed that I've managed to impact you all in such a profound way.

I know the results of my posts and polls have irked some. Just shining a light on the truth so's we can all see a way out of this mess.

Hopefully some of you will have emerged from this season on Demonland a little wiser for my efforts.

For those who refuse to, al I can say is ... try not to fear change so much. And ... enjoy the player cull ! B)

Steady RR, as I read your posts I am usually reminded of a certain Grant Thomas.....I am all for balance so your contributions are welcome but thankfully there are a few of us at the other end of the plank

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
