How to save Demonland's forum hosting bills and the forum reputation...

Lock threads like this

I didn't think I'd get a bad reaction for this. Sorry if I upset you. Should I contribute for any posting I make?

I liked it - funny and true.

Can't say that I've got much time for the "mummy! that man posted something I didn't like" crowd though.

Funny? Why would we sack Jason Taylor (one of the most highly touted recruiters in the AFL) after surely paying him a large sum of money?

It's neither funny or true. We've finally revamped our recruiters with decent ones and we can already see Viney, Toumpas, Hogan, Kent, Terlich, Matt Jones performing well.

Random names would've been better than our old recruiters but we've made changes.

As for posts I don't like I have no trouble with bad posts but people creating threads just for one silly joke is a waste of time.

I only wish we did this when Prendergast was robbing this club.

Sack all the recruiters and just use the order of preference the Journos come up with.

wtf do you think we've been doing? Watts, Trengove, Scully, Morton, McLean, Sylvia, Toumpas - all of them went within one spot of where the so-called experts expected them to on draft day. The top 5 is very obvious every year and we haven't made any 'shock' choices in this regard.

If that's what we've been doing then my post is correct; just do what the journos say.

What pick was Morton and where did the newspapers place him? That's not a smart reply - I really don't know. What about Gysberts and Petterd?

Hey Master, I was being facetious with what I originally wrote but with some truth. And I think you are absolutely right with what you have written re re-vamp. I just can't understand why I've had such a strong reaction from some. That's pretty strong stuff to say I bring down the reputation of this forum. "Lock threads like this" - Really? I try to be a contributor to this site. I try not to inflame others. I generally try not to attack people with views I don't agree with. And you think I should be censored. Why are you called "The Master", is it something about your attitude?

Also, how closely have we followed general opinion after the first few picks - say 10 to 30?

Hey Master. I was being facetious

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
