Etiquette on Demonland

[Hardnut 327]

Hi people,

I have read several posts and first thing that stands out is the diversity if opinion from who should be coach to the game style, current culture at the club, clearing out the current list, who to keep, who to trade.

I have also noticed topics are randomly locked while others are not. For example an anti Liam Jurrah comment that wouldn't be tolerated in mainstream media is tolerated here but other comments involving mass player cullings or critique of the coach or the direction the coach is taking us are seemingly locked or not tolerated.

Can we say it as we see it or must we go with the general flow or mood of our members?

myself have followed the Dees since my namesake dominated Melbourne's forward line.

a general lack of leadership/inspiration from top to bottom seems to be the crux of melbourne's current problem.

what do we all think about this issue and am i somewhere near the mark of the general consensus?

Welcome to DL, DandP - I remember those players well.

It's a good place to share opinions which are often passionately and strongly held - sometimes with evidence, sometimes with just feeling, and sometimes with knowledge which can't be publicly disclosed.

I'm probably regarded as being in a minority with my views, but I suspect there is a 'silent majority' out there who are closer to my views than many on DL would think - yes, I do have evidence of that.

Your comment 'a general lack of leadership/inspiration from top to bottom seems to be the crux of Melbourne's current problem' is a good call IMO.

In any case, enjoy the discussion, and don't be afraid to express your opinion (and never take personal offence).

Cheers.

Everyones an expert here, nobody is ever wrong, and they will type out thousands of posts to back it up, and not mention their sauces.

My favourite sauce would probably be Bernaise,

There you go -named for all to see.

Welcome Dillon & Parke...you and i started supporting this beautiful rabble around the same time as the 2 afore jmentioned were early heroes of mine.

26 was the first number i had...

Good Luck in here it is a ride....

parke and dillon used to switch chf and ff. both were stars. dillon played big V as far as I recall. they were the days of gallery, biffen, hardeman, sullivan, davis, alves.....great side but couldn't get close!

Parke would have been a top line forward if he had been a more accurate kick.

Yes great players in a side that did not click. They should have.

Keefs favourite.

Gentlemen, please, this is the Melbourne club. Black truffle sauce for me, but only if the truffles are sourced from the south of Tuscany by a reliable truffle pig.

just a kid back then. used to collect records after the match!! Parke was an incredible mark not dissimilar to Howe in that regard. agreed his kicking and leg speed were a little sus.

why didn't they click? what did we lack back then and what do we lack right now..??

[Sir Why You Little 37,119]

Probably the same thing Mate...

Our list is going to be vastly different within a month...We can only hope the attitude is to.

welcome dp. loads of rusted on opinion and yes the mod guidelines don't seem consistent especially in relation to LJ. stick to your guns and don't follow just for popularity ticks.

Dillon not only played Big V, he frequently was bog or in the best. A big occasion player, had lots of knee trouble, as I recall.

only problem with Dillon was he seldom looked for Vagg.

an interesting pc of trivia. frosty miller and pat flaherty once tagged teamed dillon and parke in a two on two social work match. dandy came up trumps and that was how parke first seriously injured his knee.
