Demonland in an alternate universe

[Demonland 66,965]

A mate sent me this and it got me thinking about what could have been.

What's done is done but who knows how things would have panned out in the alternate universe.

It was in today's herald sun online. Just another pointless article that further makes demon supporters feel sick. What about the clubs who overlooked Joel selwood?

I, for one, can not wait until we get back up near the top of the ladder and one of these talentless journalists need to write something positive about the club.

[P-man 13,353]

I give it a whatever/10. We move on.

[Strafford 182]

We probably would have ruined Dangerfield by playing him too early and Martin would probably be in rehab talking to the fairies and looking at the pretty lights...just saying

[dees189227 11,308]

Just another pathetic effort form jounos. Hindsight is great. Why pick on us. Richmond picked Tambling over Franklin and Fiora

We are not the only club that passed on players. Im happy with Howe over Parker, Trengove over Rohan, How many other clubs passed over these players. Nic Nat would have gone home by now.

... we don't have to wait to be at the top of the Ladder,, to Fire Up, lift our collective heads Up & glare deep & straight into their Eyes... we can now, & we can stand straight & strong, because what doesn't Kill Us, will just Fire Us Up even more.

they are trying to belittle & emasculate us, but they can't, because we've been doing it to ourselves for 45 Years...

.... its time we got Angry !!! Footy Angry.

Lets just get it out there....the MFC has totally f****d things up !!

To get a few things wrong is just luck of the draw...to systematically get it wrong...well

Its official....we are just pitied !!!

I hope supporters are angry. So as this type of situation doesn't happen again, or at least is minimized. Full time recruiters are gold.

We have fed up big time since 2000.

[Little Richard 5,943]

This is so pathetic and could be done for most clubs. Forget about it, we have to because there is nothing more to be done. Prendergast (curse that name) is gone and has been replaced by much more capable people. We look forward.

Okay, I'll try in this thread.

Naitanui>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Watts.

Blokes like this make the game of Aussie rules so great.

He's rocking tonight.

Nic Nat, Cyril.. hmmm. Don't remind me. As for the rest, when we fix our development side people will be saying this about teams that overlooked players that we chose instead.

We've got some major catching up to do for sure.

But you never know, if things turn around fairly quickly on the field, some of these same parrot journos will be praising our selections in years to come!

I've said many times that demonland is a sort of bizzaro world alternative universe. Just look at the lunatics who post here - they have to be the fantasy creations of a drug destroyed mind. In the real world Melbourne is undefeated this season and our 15 players in the top 100 are all tracking well. Jack Watts is an early favorite for both the Coleman and the Brownlow. He and Dawes will fight out the former.

Our 17th flag is considered a near certainty and Collingwood coach Neeld finds himself under extreme pressure.

And you and stuie are besties, 186 was our biggest winning margin against the Cats, Jo Gutnick is about to pour his 5th 5 million dollar donation into the club and Magner just took mark of the year.

Oh, and Biffen's back.

Yes let us look forward and hope to God that our recruiters when they have an early pick say between 1 to 5 and then early second round etc, they look at the players rated at each level in those rounds who have the agression, who have an appetite for the physical contest. Agression, confidence and some skill goes a long way in AFL. Look at tonight's game, the Hawks are loaded with aggressive and skilled players that we can only look at in awe; at how they throw themselves at the contest yet keep getting up and doing it again and again. Is it possible to draft in some talented mongrel? I've been watching VFL/AFL for years and nearly every premiership team has had its fair share of tough, hard, intimidating players. Of course it's more subtle now, looking at The physicality of Luke Hodge the last few weeks I am thinking he is just as physically damaging and as intimidating in games as Lethal was but without the outright brutality of the 70's of course. He somehow stays within the rules but you know his intent is to do damage as he managed again tonight to do to Selwood.

_{We would have only screwed him up at the NFC. as that is what we do best.}

Demonland in an alternate universe? Is everyone nice to eachother?

[praha 10,574]

A guy with dreadlocks, and a guy with tattoos on his neck, drafted by MELBOURNE?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No.

Come on guys. Even in a parellel universe these guys are too lower-class to pull on a Melbourne jumper.

Come on you gaiz.

[titan_uranus 23,226]

Standard crap from the HUN, and from anyone who's taken this article as another excuse to get on the 'Naitanui > Watts' or 'Martin > Trengove' or 'we should have Dangerfield' bandwagons.

If we'd drafted Naitanui, he more than likely would have gone back home. He also would have about 30% less muscle mass on his body, and wouldn't have been trained by Dean Cox, but instead would have been 'led' by Mark Jamar.

At the time, Trengove was not rated any less than Martin, but Martin had some perceived extra baggage. It's not like we went left-field on Trengove.

But then again, who cares? It's so much easier to complain about these things than to think about them.
