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".

It effects the fans...

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

    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.
