The NBA and NFL players never have to go home, because they are grown adults who understand its part of their career.

The "Go Home" factor shows how immature these players really are.

Geelong didn't need Ablett and Hawks didn't need Buddy ??

Right... Ever heard of a bloke called LeBron?

I've come to the point now that I don't have a fav player anymore as they come and go when ever it suites them. 

If he stays great if he goes which I think he will then get a good trade for him and get someone in who wants to be at the club. 

I am starting to feel the same way OX. I was devastated when The Wizard left, this will be worse if it eventuates.

Horrible example to use if you're trying to prove me wrong!

The absolute vast majority of players play for cities that are not their home town, and they make that city their home town. They do pay acknowledgement to their origins, but that's where it ends for most.

The lucky ones will finish their career in their town of origin, but it's mostly in their twilight years, ala dWade

Lets be honest.. Jesse ain't home sick. He wants to get out of Melbourne after having to deal with Saty everyday!

That would just be enough to make me fly back home!

I think we can have a bit of sympathy for poor Jesse..

The difference with the NBA example is that those players are older and have usually been away interstate at a college for a few years so they're more adjusted to it.

Also, getting paid more than 10x as much probably softens the blow.

Of course, unless Saty has been told something by the players, it isn't true.

Cos they're all such good mates. It's not like they tolerate the weirdo & his creepy come-ons.

I think it's time we stop the poster attacking.

Both sides need to accept we all have different views and as many have said, it is only a fan forum and accuracy of posting is not a requirement.

We have gossip, rumours, allegations, inuendo, fantasy, etc.

I find it tiresome wading through posts of people attacking each other on here.

I have met Saty at training and he is a nice bloke, as I am sure are most of the rest of the posters.

Saty is unusual in his posting style, but he is not Robinson Crusoe.

Everyone needs to be a little less precious and not attack everything said, because you may not like the poster or their style.

Lets all move on.

We are all Dees fans.

Yeah, then moved back for the sole reason that it was his home, nothing else.

yeah maybe, but one swallow doesn't make a summer.

the op's point that US professional athletes are much older and therefore more mature when drafted is a valid point. By the time they have established themselves they are likely around 23-24 years old at least

No I qualified it, no player will discuss their contract, you get a straight bat always have always will, a player to say that is surely a joke, I am actually joining in by questioning it instead of assuming it is a gact and hand wringing

I put the 'soft' comments and conversations I have with the players on here, don't share a lot coz Demonland doesn't deserve it

 

 

Your last sentence is egotistical and arrogant. Most of us don't share a lot of information with others for a variety of reasons, but to say you don't share a lot because Demonland doesn't deserve it, really!  You really don't do yourself any favours, or perversely, despite what you write you enjoy stirring up reaction. You may think that's fun, but really most people will just think your a turkey.

Indeed. In addition the players in the NFL and NBA (not sure about baseball) have almost always come via the college system and i would hazard a guess that in the overwhelming majority of cases they had to move away from their home city or state to attend the college that recruited them. So not only are they older and more mature they've had 2 or 3 years of getting used to living far from home.

Ken Griffey Jr (baseball) was drafted straight out of high school.

We all know how it worked out for him...

saty, i think you crossed the line telling jesse there was this huge thread on demonland discussing his contract negotiations. knowing there was a mix of positive and negative comment and robust debate. it was just an invitation for him to read and then not be in a position to really respond to anything he might disagree with

not a very smart thing to do, chap

I imagine Saty sees it along these lines:

Always has despised Demonland. Has already admitted recently that most times he posts to bait others and get a reaction.

While i enjoy what the Mods do around here i get disappointed when he is given the soft pillow and allowed to continue to derail threads, shout at others for having a opinion on players and the constant bad mouthing of Demonland.

Who's to say he isn't posting in this very thread, trolling us and laughing is arse off?

He does love a good smile, our Jesse.

Still one of my favourite posters, Ernest. As Jurgen Klopp said, "Boom".

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    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.
