Which one of our young guns will be the most decorated by the end of their career?

[nutbean 8,838]

since we are being retrospectively hounded by the AFL, keeping with that theme, I will retrospectively out myself and say that i didnt vote but I was an unabashed Juice lover.

I always claimed that he could have been anything and I was proven right - he turned out to be anything but an AFL footballer - damn.

The only difference between you and the majority of us on Demonland

Is you are more honest Nutbean.

Hindsight is truely a wonderful think

[DemonWA 3,936]

I dint have an account on demonland back in '07, but i would have voted Brock McLean. He was probably my favourite mid for a while there.... how things have changed

Its only football and my personality doesnt allow me to backtrack after the event. So in the spirit of true "out"manship - I was "newton" about Scully and I was "newton" about Gysberts. I was also "newton" about Jai Sheahan. Here's hoping I am not "newton" about my two latest hobby horses - the "no charges to answer in the tanking investigation" and "Jeremy Howe you are gonna be a superstar".

The list is an embarrassment and encapsulates all that has been wrong with our club.

That pretty much covers it Jnr

Crap recruiting

[P-man 13,366]

You know you're in trouble when the fourth name on the list of young guns is Matthew Bate.

[Guest José Mourinho]

Write it down:

Frawley will in at least 1 AA guernsey as a defender, and Jones should start winning blueys around the 2012 season.

Reckon I did alright there...

[P-man 13,366]

You're very special, Jose.

[Guest José Mourinho]

Hahaha just being mischievous!

[demon-4-life 467]

Best. Bumped. Thread. Ever.

[jnrmac 20,189]

1. Brock Mclean Pick 5
2. Nathan Jones pick 12
3. Colin Sylvia pick 3
4. Matthew Bate pick 13
5. Lynden Dunn pick 15
6. Michael Newton pick 43 + 100 other rookie picks
7. Ricky Petterd pick 30
8. Clint Bartram pick 60
9. Daniel Bell pick 14
10. Colin Garland pick 46
11. Chris Johnson pick 36 f/s
12. Simon Buckley pick 53
13. James Frawley pick 12

Wow.Its so bad.

[picket fence 17,522]

Is Picket Fence holding you at gunpoint ?

No I'm not, but if my sources are correct there was NO doubt that given his form before his unfortunate knee injury, several AFL clubs had him well and truly on the radar to be drafted for this year. Given a great season with Norwood in 2013 who knows??

I'll back him if he gets on the park!

In fact I'll say this, if Michael Newton plays near enough to a full season at Norwood in 2013 without mishap, he will be drafted in 2014 !!!!

[ILLDieADemon 804]

Reckon I did alright there...

Good call on that one, so you seem to be able to call it.

Who the next big players from our young list?

[Biffen 12,947]

Had this weird dream last night where our Demons went on a prolonged winning streak this season. Will that do?

That would be hilarious and inspiring at the same time .

Cannot happen.

Go back to sleep and find out what happens in September.

Remembering we realize our full potential in this state .(Not Vic).

ironic that we must achieve our dreams whilst riding the reality bus .

Actually, I wasn't making that dream up. It was real (as much as dreams can be real!)

Distinctly remember trying to 'escape' from the dream - nobody could believe it was happening and I felt alienated.

What does it all mean Biff ?

Biffo, I realize you are cut from a different cloth to the rest of us plebs but I am concerned with your constant references to the reality bus. I have recently been using the internet for legitimate research and discovered a group of people that uses buses for , shall we say " distinctive challenges". Where do you stand on this issue? You will never be admitted to polite society in places such as Romsey if you do not have an upright moral stance.

It's amazing isn't it Macca?.Biffo has become the Guru and we all seek his wisdom. If only Stuie would cast aside his pride and bow at the altar of genious.

[Biffen 12,947]

being a student of Carl Jung ,I can recount to you with some(faked) sincerity the actual importance of dreams in order to realise the potential within our psychic being .

Macca is simply reliving a pre-pubescent fantasy of exclusion which is a necessary part of success and "becoming who you are".

The synchronicity involved in BBOS mentioning of The Reality Bus is quite significant as a pointer to same notions of exclusion/exclusion.

i.e. Macca is exploring the possibility of a "prolonged winning streak" which removes him from the comfort zone of dreaming and into the reality of winning .

my final diagnosis and subsequent advice ,free of charge ,is for Macca to try to maintain a noble humility as we ascend the ladder and then spit on the scum that we no longer need to be nice to.

Ok, we beat Port and Ess in rounds 1 and 2 - done deal.

Round 3 is the Eagles at home - plane strike and they have to drive over - win no.3

Giants and Lions in rounds 4 and 5 - easy peasy.

Round 6 is the Blues - Murphy injured and Judd out for his 4th 'weird' suspension - McLean stretchered off and it's win no.6

Tigers in round 7 - payback for '09 - Win

Round 8 - Gold Coast - in a canter

That's 8 Biff . That's what I call a prolonged winning streak (for our team)

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

I just hope that at the end of their careers we're comparing number of premierships, norm smiths, colemans, all-Australians and maybe state jumpers collected by a great many on that list. How do you compare Newton's 6 Colemans and 3 premierships with Sylvia's dual brownlows and 3 premierships? Brocky captaining Victoria surely must give him the edge not to mention his efforts captain-coaching Melbourne to their first premiership in 08!

Dare to dream . . . .

Lol, dare to dream indeed

Biffen. You outshine even yourself. Such eloquence, such logic. You are an expert parent, football commentator, environmentalist, social critic, psychotherapist and gutter crawler. It seems to me, with your innate sense of fairness and equality that you are Moderator material.

You can ascend to the heights occupied by Rhino. WYL will grind his teeth in awe and jealousy. This is your calling, this is deification. See post 70 , you have already changed Macca’s life. Australia will have its second saint. We mere mortals will only hope to touch the hem of your dress or hear the rattle of your empty beer can rolling down Punt Rd.

Will you take the challenge? Will you rise above the transient pleasures of the flesh? Will you forego alcohol and seek the insights provided through abstinence? Will you cast off Stuie and rise to greatness?

[DemonWA 3,936]

Exciting future I don't care which one but with the players mentioned plus a few others the below team gives us a bright future Petterd Frawley GarlandBell Rivers BartramBuckley Judd CJBate Dunn SylviaDavey Newton Johnson???, Mclean, JonesMoloneyThe 1st Ruck is the missing link, hopefully we get a good one this draft and Judd, domination for 2008 and beyond.

Demonland hasn't changed! Jude in the best 22?! Just like we all were talking up olly wines!

[P-man 13,366]

I voted for Brock... to me he is the bloke that will lead us at the most crucial times.

lol..no words.
