    DL, what's with the posting of a tweet or whatever, then copying & pasting the words as a separate statement, even though it's the same?

    Just curious.

    Just curious.

    Two reasons.

    1. I'm not sure if posting just the tweets/facebook posts keeps a searchable record for search engines linking back to Demonland. If at some future time those social media platforms disappear or the way they link old tweets/posts changes then that information is lost and any future generations reading Demonland won't be able to have a reference for or context to what is being talked about. I could just post the information in the tweets/FB posts without the original but I like to have the original Tweet/post available as the proof/source/credit for the information.

    2. Some people use Adblockers. These Adblockers block the tweets/FB posts from appearing and hence if I just posted the Tweets/FB posts without copying the information then they would just see a blank post. Whilst I shouldn't assist people that choose to block our source of funding that helps pay for server & software costs I am being a nice guy.

    People who use adblockers can whitelist (allow) ads from Demonland.com to still appear.

    Unfortunately this season of footy will be cancelled. It would be ridiculous to go ahead with it given the current state of affairs. 

    Fortunately your opinion seems to be counter to those that run AFL.

    Can’t wait for Sunday... Go Dees!

    Its so when down the track multiple games have to be played within the one week shorter games are what is planned. Its being applied now to make it consistent across the season.

    Yup,

    I must say I like how the AFL are handling things.     Whether we get any games or not is another story.  I guess will find out in the next few hours.

    Is that 16 x 30 second quarters ?

    Kinda like NFL. Whack an ad in between each play.

    I dont see the point in this unless we're going to be running a compressed schedule.

    I doubt they'll return to longer quarters next year.

    We've finally built up a fitness base this year too. Won't be as big of an advantage now.

    It seems this is perfect timing for the AFL to implement Dangerball - shorter quarters, less games but Patrick still gets paid the same $$$$$$$.

    They should make a decision and let everybody know otherwise they risk being like formula one.

    When it gets to this stage nearly 24 hours out then Morrison should have made it for them as he should have F1...

    Politics is still alive and well.

    There is one big difference. We already know there will be no spectators at the AFL games, so the decision directly affects fewer people. Sure, we would all like to know, but really the timing of the decision only affects the teams playing tomorrow, plus necessary officials and the AFL's "media partners".

    In what way that it actually matters? It can muck up footy tipping competitions and planning for what to do on the weekend (or Thursday night), but what am I missing? How are fans affected?

    The longer you take the more it looks like a really well thought out decision. We had so many things to consider etc.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
