  1. This list also doesn't include the focus free kick of the week that will be forgotten about 3 weeks later.
  2. It was news to Fagan. Wouldn't be surprised if the Filth are driving this one.
  3. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-11/new-rules-revealed-nine-changes-for-2019 THE CHANGES Traditional playing positions at centre bounces Clubs must have six players inside both 50m arcs, with one player inside the goalsquare. Four midfield players must start inside the centre square with the two wingmen stationed along the wing. Kick-ins At kick-ins, a player will no longer need to kick to himself to play on from the goalsquare. Following a behind, the man on the mark will be brought out to 10m from the top of the goalsquare, rather than the existing five metres. Marks and free kicks in defence When defenders mark or receive a free kick within nine metres of their own goal, the man on the mark will be brought in line with the top of the goalsquare. Runners and water carriers Team runners may only enter the playing surface after a goal has been kicked and must exit before play restarts. Water carriers are not permitted to enter the playing surface during live play. Umpire contact Players will be prohibited from setting up behind the umpire at centre bounces. 50m penalties The player with the ball: Must be allowed to advance the mark by 50m without the infringing player delaying the game. Will be able to play on while the 50m penalty is being measured out. Kicking for goal after the siren A player who has been awarded a mark or free kick once play has ended: Will now be able to kick across their body using a snap or check-side kick BUT must kick the ball directly in line with the man on the mark and the goal. Marking contests The 'hands in the back’ rule interpretation has been repealed so a player can now: Place his hands on the back of his opponent to protect his position in a marking contest PROVIDED he does not push his opponent in the back. Ruck contests: prior opportunity A ruckman who takes direct possession of the ball from a bounce, throw-up or boundary throw-in will no longer be regarded as having had prior opportunity. Where there is uncertainty over who is the designated ruckman, the ruckman for each team will still be required to nominate to the field umpire. All the rules explained here:
  4. @Drunkn167 is a contracted and required poster in 2019.
  5. If this happens then Jesse better unpack his bags. NO DEAL.
  6. I think the only way they will accept 11 is if we bundle in a player like Tyson. Yeah I know Tyson doesn't want to go but ...
  7. They are the same commentators that will denigrate the Demons if they don't get 2 first rounders for Jesse once the trade period is over.
  8. Breaking News: They've deleted the post.
  9. If we lose Hogan & Tyson and get May, Preuss , Kolodjashnij and PICK 5, then Trade Week is a huge tick.
  10. Do Fremantle even have the half sleeve jumpers to make a play for Lobb?
  11. I'm not so confident we get May for 11. I think they'll ask for 5. I pray we don't blink first.
  12. Not to mention the wasted paint.
  13. Damn you @DavidNeitz9 and your quick clicking.
  14. I hope we don't get lumped with Thursday nights over the Prime Time Friday slot. Thoughts?
  15. Welcome to Demonland. Are looking into getting into football admin?
  16. Finishes Wednesday at 8:30pm right in time for the Demonland Podcast featuring Peter Jackson and our trade week and a half wrap up. http://demonland.com/podcast
  17. I bet he smells like an ashtray.
  18. LEVER’S A STAYER Jake Lever took a little time to settle down in his new environment but once he did, his form in defence was spectacular. His ACL injury at the half way mark of the season was a tragedy and fans are waiting with bated breath for his return in the early part of next season.

  19. SMALL PACKAGE The diminutive Spargo stands at only 173cm and is both the smallest and youngest player on the Melbourne list but he has a great football pedigree and from the moment he stepped up into the Melbourne team, he was ready to go. He can kick goals and run down opponents and his youthful enthusiasm is infectious.

  20. COMING OF AGE After a delayed start to the season caused by an operation to remove his wisdom teeth, Angus Brayshaw rose from a the ranks at Casey, returned to the Melbourne team in Round 4 and lifted his game to such an elite level that he finished third in the Brownlow Medal. Brayshaw was outstanding throughout the season amassing high disposal numbers in the Demon midfield and played a major role in his team’s rise into the finals.
