Demonland

No problem. Happy to help.

Looks like you did it.

Following players are not playing in the first half and doing drills on the other oval: Toumpas, Jordie, Cross, Frawley, Howe, Jones Dunn, Pederson, #27, Grimes, Vince

In fairness to the majority of the other posters on this site, that sort of thing won't be tolerated here in future. While there's no problem with a bit of friendly banter from time to time, there will be no further tolerance allowed for posters who constantly derail threads. Thanks

You can now actually post and start new topics. I hadn't clicked the right setting for that.

The Fantasy Footy sub forum is now here: http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/forum/34-fantasy-footy/ Discussion of competitions, leagues, players and all things fantasy footy to be discussed here. The latest posts will still show up on the homepage.

Just throwing this out there for your thoughts. Do you think we need any other sub forums? For example a sub forum for Fantasy Footy. A fantasy footy sub forum would house the threads for the different leagues as well as provide a place for individual threads about non-demon players in relation to their performance in the fantasy football sphere. Any other ideas for sub forums? Anyway as I said I am just throwing it out there and I may or may not act on the suggestions.

Perish the thought. On second thoughts I might just change this site to dem0nland.com

If there's room in any of the competitions then I'd like to join. My name last year was Demonland.

Personally I'd prefer one captain but that isn't the Paul Roos way.

Thanks for providing the quote and thanks to the ignorant and immature schoolboys (they're obvious) who put this site to shame by proving that Einstein was 100% correct.Some of you will get no further warning before an infinite ban is put into place. This is worthy of consideration - Adam Goodes the right man for Australian of the Year

Less than two hours to go and Australia Day's over. Then this thread goes away too.

Thanks LFR - but one thread per training session is sufficient so I've merged the two.

Could we please stick to the topic folks?

That's actually a good idea.

Biffen, BBO and others, If you continue to derail threads with your BS you will be banned and not welcome back. Last warning. You will have no further warnings.

The drive to Casey Fields is always interesting. If you haven't been there for a few months, you're immediately struck by the amount of new residential building happening which is of course, one of the main reasons the Melbourne Football Club is out there in the first place. This is one of the fastest growing residential regions in the country and over time, it's hoped that the club will benefit from that growth and develop a much healthier supporter base than it has at present. But all that is of no effect unless the club prospers and grows on the field and that's what I was looking for as I made the trip down the freeway to Cranbourne. I wasn't expecting too much with the temperatures edging towards the low forties and the flies congregating around the small but hardy group of supporters who braved the oppressive conditions. This was compounded by the non appearance of the bulk of the club's talls who are suffering various ailments, none of which are said to be long term in nature. Missing were Mark Jamar, Max Gawn, Mitch Clark, Chris Dawes, Jack Fitzpatrick and Jesse Hogan. That left us to concentrate on a pre season training session in the heat involving many of the club's midfielders which is the area that has caused us so much distress in recent years. Even then we didn't see Bernie Vince or Aidan Riley and Jack Viney turned up but I didn't see him on the track. Even the coach is far away in Africa and we're less than a month away from the start of what used to be the NAB Cup. However, there was enough on display to suggest that the emphasis in off season recruiting on the midfield will pay off. That is not to say that from hereon in the Demons will be elite in that division but rather, that they will be competitive and will perform like the bulk of the midfields in the competition and not resemble a bunch of fugitives from Madame Tussaud's waxworks. This is what I took from training and from what I have seen of the influx of players into the club through trades and the draft. Dom Tyson looks all class, Viv Michie looms as a surprise packet, Daniel Cross has class and experience and we know what (the admittedly absent) Bernie Vince can do. Jack Watts is a classy mover and disposes of the ball well. Jimmy Toumpas looks as if he's going to step up in a big way and we have high hopes for Jack Viney, Sam Blease and a resurgent Jack Trengove minus the burden of the captaincy. Then there's one who impressed me this morning - Michael Evans who deserves a break from injury looks fit and solid and could be a bit of a surprise packet. This will all add quality to our 2013 midfield of one, namely Nathan Jones. The way they trained and ran in the heat was impressive. There were a couple of little blokes who could also surprise by adding pace and skill to the set up in Dom Barry and Jay Kennedy-Harris. And if these changes made by the new coach bring result in a more solid, efficient and reliable engine room, imagine how much this is going to be appreciated by the overworked defence of the past and how the forward line (currently all in rehab apart from Jeremy Howe) will benefit in terms of greater opportunities for scoring. Of course, all this is written in mid January, a traditional time for rose coloured glasses and things could well change dramatically over the coming months but I think we're on the up and up. I remember sitting high up in the gods in our round three match against Richmond two years ago and, realising that our static midfield was bereft of any run and spread, knew we were in a spot of bother. Now, I know that we will no longer be wax figures in the most important part of the ground and that is where I see our improvement in the months ahead.

Gentlemen - enough. Please stay on topic and if you must abuse each other you can use the PM service. The rest of us aren't really interested in how you feel about each other. Thanks

That's not quite true. According to our records, poster Thomo was banned from the site "for his nastiness and insensitivity" on a thread about Liam Jurrah back in 2012.If that's you, the decision to remove you was made after several instances of obnoxious behaviour. In short, you were and are, a serial pest and our moderating team were all happy to see the back of you. Cheerio.

Is that lemur or lemming?
