I can't remember if we've ever done this before but perhaps we could have a vote for the best poster to encourage good healthy debate (and the odd argument)

Edit - Crap accidently posted it too early

Do you guys like this idea, if so suggest some categories, here are soem of my suggestions:

- best poster

- most entertaining poster

- best thread

- best mod

With the winner/s getting a special message uner the username or something corny like that

    Best mod award though? I thought you all hated us all? :D

    I should so win that award... in fact, we're only having these awards if I'm guaranteed the win ;)

    Jarka, do you want to maybe create some guidelines?

    How we vote, when does voting close, etc etc...

    And if you are all keen on doing this, please PLEASE don't let this turn into a bickering b***h fest. If it turns nasty, or if anyone makes negative personal comments about other posters, we'll delete the thread.

    Sounds fair?

    I like it.

    The winner becomes a moderator.

    The losing moderator gets relegated. (Deemocracy in action!) :)

    I'm all for it but I wanna see the stats <_< ...........................but hang on, apparently the stats lie, so I wanna to see the votes <_< ..........................but who is voting, do they know what they are talking about. I mean do they know what OTHER people are talking about. :mellow:

    I also wanna see the definitions for 'best' and 'entertaining' ;)

    Here is the first post that deserves and award.

    Personally, I'm pro- anything that encourages people to try and use their brains a little before they post

    I recon I am in with a shot for the most sarcastic poster award. ;)

    Here are a few sure things:

    Yze-Magic for most outrageous predictions :lol:

    Rhino for most argumentative :lol:

    Ash for best 'foreign' poster :o (no I am not racist)

    Jarka for most annoying avatar

    Go Dees - Onward and Upward

    Jaded, I'm happy to run this thing and I agree with you, it's not meant to be an avenue for a whinge (me included ;) ).

    What do you think of my suggested categories? I'm happy not to do the mod one but I thought it would be a good avenue to give you guys some recognition of the work you've done.

    So to recap my suggested categories are:

    - best poster

    - most entertaining poster

    - best mod

    The voting would be that each poster will give a 3 - 2 - 1 nomination (3 being the best, 2 second best, 1 third) over a set time period, say over a one week period. Each week of the finals we'll run each category, for example:

    1st week - Most entertaining

    2nd week - Best Mod

    3rd week - Best Poster

    and finishing just in time for the GF - probably announce winners GF day. However if the mods want to pick the categories I have no probs with that, just send me a pm and I'll run with it. One person one vote!!

    Toad33, I promise I'll change my avatar, I agree I've had it far too long but at the time it suited my mood...

    Sounds good to me Jarka.

    Might want to add best avatar as well, since a few posters have mentioned it.

    Just set up a separate thread with the first category whenever you want to start, and when the allocated voting time is up, I'll lock the thread and you can count the votes.

    Sweet Jaded, I'll start the first vote on Sunday night to give people some time to read this thread. One more suggestion, to make it easier to count the votes is it possible to delete all non voting posts or would that be too much work?

    Cheers

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
