Etiquette on Demonland


Dillon and Parke

Recommended Posts

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.

Yes Condaments, seldom spoken about but always needed.

I only reveal my sauces in complete condiments.

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.

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.

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..??

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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
