That's why you were able to purchase. I changed a setting and have since changed it back and you must have got in before I changed it and that's why it worked. Technically for that type of purchase you shouldn't be able to purchase more than one so I reverted it back to no option of more than one. Problem is when I put the expired annuals back to regular members manually the system must still think you have a subscription and hence it's not allowing you to make the purchase. It should be ok for anyone else going forward just not the old expired annuals. If any old annuals have trouble purchasing then let me know and we'll sort something out. I'll check with software support and see what they say.

Just out of interest when you tried purchasing the second time and it worked did it give you an option of quantity to purchase defaulted to 1 or was there no option for that.

I think it might be working now?

Well I guess I haven't fixed it. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. Stay tuned.

There was some problem with the notifications of renewals of the Annual Subscriptions which I've known about for a while. It should have downgraded you and all the other Annual Subscribers when they expired and weren't renewed but it didn't. Some of you on the expired Annual Subscriptions would have still been listed as an Annual Subscriber despite the expiration and you would have been enjoying an Ad Free Demonland. I think I've fixed the issue but that required me downgrade all the people on Expired Annual Subscriptions and that is why you are now seeing Ads on Demonland.

Sure. If you're listening when we start talking Casey then call in the same way you usually do.

One of those so called jerks is a Dees fan.

Oh @Ethan Tremblay I know I shouldn't be laughing at this but here we are.

I've seen it mentioned on here that Gus and Gaff are meeting. Is it correct? I read today that Hamish and Andrew are meeting him in Perth next week but wouldn't mind clarification of the Gus meet.

It's on tomorrow night (Thursday 9/8 at 8:45pm on Channel 7). Tonight you should be listening to the Demonland Podcast at 8:30pm

@Ethan Tremblay can you go out and purchase a paper and confirm?

Holy [censored] I hope this wasn't an intentional ad placement.

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-08-08/draft-trade-period-receive-a-shakeup THE TRADE Period deadline is moving to prime time and the NAB AFL Draft will become a two-day event under major changes designed to turn player movement in an extravaganza. AFL.com.au has confirmed live trading of picks will be available to clubs for the very first time. The trade deadline has been scheduled for 8.30pm on Wednesday, October 17, making the trade period itself slightly shorter. The draft is returning to Victoria for the first time since 2009, with the televised event being held on November 22 and 23. The League has written to clubs confirming the live trading "will be introduced to provide clubs with more flexibility when making player selections and managing their lists." Also under consideration for event, which has been extended to two days for the first time, is to have the main presentation happen on the oval itself, with clubs using corporate boxes in the grandstands as their own individual 'war rooms'. It's understood future picks can be traded live up to one year in advance, but once players have been drafted they are off the table and cannot be traded on draft night. Live trading will also mean there'll be an additional window after the conclusion of the Trade Period for trading of 'selections only' in the lead up to draft night. Clubs contacted by AFL.com.au were still dissecting the changes, but were broadly supportive of the initiatives, which will require significant planning by list management teams. Key player movement dates Restricted and Unrestricted Free Agency 9am Friday October 5 to 5pm Friday October 12 NAB AFL Trade Period – Players and Selections 10am Monday October 8 to 8.30pm Wednesday October 17 NAB AFL Trade Period – Selections only 9am Thursday October 18 to 2pm Friday November 16 NAB AFL Draft First Round: Evening Thursday November 22 (time to be confirmed) Second Round to completion: Friday November 23 (time to be confirmed) NAB AFL Preseason and Rookie Drafts Evening Friday November 23 (time to be confirmed)

Deep down I knew the Suns would not be a problem. Sydney on the other hand .....................

Would love to speak to Barassi but am told he no longer does interviews.

That would be amazing but I doubt it. They'll definitely show footage and ask about him kissing his brother. Perhaps he will tell this story again.

We still have the exclusive.

Join @Supermercado and I LIVE tonight at 8:30pm to relive the Sun's game and fret about the run home. Listen and Chat LIVE: http://demonland.com/podcast Call: 03 9016 3666 Skype: Demonland31

I get what you're saying but I think his ability to be able to be moved around depending on which way the wind is blowing is one of his greatest assets.

“Boy, you gotta carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Boy, you gonna carry that weight Carry that weight a long time” ~ Paul McCartney [Carry That Weight - Abbey Road] When Paul McCartney wrote these words in the twilight of the 1960s, the greatest force in modern popular music was at the point of disintegration. McCartney knew the Beatles were breaking up from the perspective of their personal relationships, their creativity and as a business. John Lennon had already privately left the group by the time the Abbey Road album was released and McCartney publicly quit in 1970. The weight of greatness was sitting heavily on his shoulders and he knew it would do so for a very long time. The parallel event in the world of sport always struck me as being the story of the fall of the Melbourne Football Club earlier in that decade when both were at the height of their powers. The Demons lost Ron Barassi, the club’s on-ground spiritual leader when he defected to Carlton in December of their premiership year, 1964, then in the middle of the following season, their committee sacked and quickly reinstated Norm Smith who coached them to six flags in a decade. The disintegration came swiftly; the weight of the club’s golden era remains hanging oppressively over the club to this day, despite some brief periods of respite over the past half century and more. And in the current decade, the one foe that seems to have forced Melbourne into a state of submission more than any other is Sydney. Ironically, this period began well for the Demons with a 73 point victory over the Swans at the MCG in Round 17, 2010. It was coach Paul Roos’ biggest defeat whilst at the helm of the visitors. The opening round of the following season saw John Longmire's first game as the Sydney Swans coach end in a draw against Melbourne, with both teams scoring 11.18.84 each. From there, things went awry for the Demons - the record has been:- • Round 8, 2012 Sydney Swans 21.12.138 defeated Melbourne 5.7.37 at the SCG • Round 15, 2013, Sydney Swans 16.20.116 defeated Melbourne 13.7.85 at the MCG • Round 6, 2014, Sydney Swans 9.15.69 defeated Melbourne 5.8.38 at the MCG • Round 6, 2015, Sydney Swans 12.16.88 defeated Melbourne 7.8.50 at the MCG • Round 13, 2016, Sydney Swans 12.14.86 defeated Melbourne 4.7.31 at the SCG • Round 15, 2017, Sydney Swans 11.19.85 defeated Melbourne 7.8.50 at the MCG The raw figures of battles of the recent past don’t stack up well for Melbourne and understandably, many of the club’s supporters are looking at the game with fear of another impending defeat. They’ve carried the weight for a long time but they don’t quite understand the 2018 difference. This is the first time since that losing run began that the Demons go into a game against the Swans ahead of them on the ladder and well ahead of them in terms of recent form. It’s not all that long since Sydney lost at home to the Gold Coast. A week later, they meekly capitulated to the Bombers at Etihad and last Saturday night, they barely scraped in against a crippled Collingwood that was forced to play a first gamer on Lance Franklin. Compare and contrast that with Melbourne winning by 16 goals against the Suns and its performances in hostile territory against the Cats and the Crows. The writing’s on the wall. The weight is about to be lifted. THE GAME Melbourne v Sydney Swans at the MCG Sunday 12 August, 2018 at 3.20pm HEAD TO HEAD Overall Melbourne 92 wins Sydney Swans 112 wins 2 drawn At MCG Melbourne 49 wins Sydney Swans 43 wins 2 drawn Last 5 meetings Melbourne 0 wins Sydney Swans 5 wins The Coaches Goodwin 0 wins Longmire 1 win MEDIA TV - Channel 7 Fox Sports 3 - Live at 3.00pm RADIO - Triple M (Regional) 3AW ABC ABC Grandstand THE LAST TIME THEY MET Sydney Swans 11.19.85 defeated Melbourne 7.8.50 in Round 15, 2017 at the MCG Melbourne’s run came to an end under the weight of its fourth six-day break in a row. The Demons looked flat from the start and things were not helped by Tom Bugg’s punch on Callum Mills or skipper Jack Viney’s injury early in the game.

Consider Melbourne’s record in its past four outings against Sydney which have yielded a mere 23.31.169 or an average of just over 42 points per game. Last week against Gold Coast the team exceeded that figure within the first twenty-five minutes of play and, before anyone downplays the Suns entirely, they did beat the Swans a few weeks back. In other words, the Dees have turned things around considerably in 2018 and they are no longer the boring, low scoring outfit that can be pushed around by the bullies of the recent past. Nowadays, they are the highest-scoring team in the competition having booted a total of 295 goals this season, a tally that is 30 greater than the next best in the Tigers and 61 more than the Swans who are equal ninth with 234 goals. Such is their forward line power this season that they lead in inside 50s and for marks inside 50 by a fair margin. And ominously for the Sydneysiders, they are improving their rate of conversion into goals from those inside 50 entries. The Swans have most of their forward eggs in one basket - the man who they go to most times despite the fact that he’s hardly trained at all this year if you believe their coaches. But Buddy Franklin can’t do everything for them every week and he has struggled for consistency this year. He’s always the danger man but I’m not so sure that he has it in him to produce two dominant performances in a row and nor am I certain that even if he does, that it would be enough to get them home. Their winning score of 11.7.73 against a depleted Collingwood of last week would in all likelihood, not be anywhere near enough to get them over the line this time. In defence, the Swans have Aliir Aliir in a rare vein of form down back and he does have a few good lieutenants down there but it won’t be enough to dampen the multifaceted Demon fire power that is fed by the best young midfield in the competition. The times have changed, the wait is over and the weight is off our shoulders. Melbourne by 36 points.
