I think its rigged that you don't get to keep the car!!! :angry:

I agree, and i dont understand the theory behind it either. What use is the car to them after its been thrashed around by a 20 year old P plate footballer for 12 months anyway. They'd do well to gets half its original value on re-sell. They might as well just give him the car or at least donate it to charity or something.

And to think that he almost didn't make it past Mark of the Week after it was a "tie" between he and Staker.

The voting system needs to be changed.

Not only does it favour the clubs with more supporters, but a club like West Coast would (at a guess) have a relatively younger demographic who are more likely to vote for such things on the internet.

Well done Newton

I'm absolutely stunned that Lloyd's goal won it. While it was a good goal, even i would be able to kick it with a bit of luck

So many skillful goals this year. Players snapping from impossible angles, kicking banana kicks from outside 50, dodging one, two and three players before scoring, and they pick the goal which any 5 year old with a bit of luck could pull off

OH bugger bugger bugger.

I still haven't paid my 'Newton Pledge'.

I owe $50 to someone, somewhere.

If any mods know what I should do, please post or something.

:huh: How embarrassing. :huh:

You cant download the donation form here ... Pledge Form

It is important to remember to write 'Demonology/Demonland' next to

your name on the form, so the club can tally our donations.

Interesting - why would you guess that WCE would have a relatively young demographic? I'm not taking a pot shot, and I have no idea whether you're right or wrong. I'm just wondering what made you think that would be the case...success in the 90s plus a young club?

It's a guess.

Like you said, the fact that they are a young club would have seen a big rush of young people jump on board compared to a club like Melbourne who are more likely to have "generations" of supporters.

Either way, West Coast still have more supporters, young or old.

Without doubt, premiership success is a catalyst for young supporters to follow your club.

However, when WCE started it had a monopoly on the WA players and supporters in a football mad state until Freo came into the competition.

What makes it impressive is the fact that he won it in just his fourth game of AFL football.

That's huge. What a thought eh? Although it's worth considering he had his debut 3 years after he was recruited...

I wonder what the record is for least games, or yougest player to take MOTY?

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
