Demonland

Good to see Jesse being part of the campaign. Perhaps they could have squeezed Roosy in there in the last minute.

Here is the Ad - http://www.melbourne...2014-membership Membership Tally says: 12,178 You can add 4 more to that tally. Just renewed my family. The site must be getting slammed because it timed out a few times. Either that or Ticketmaster sucks.

Not that it matters or that I care anymore (no really I don't) but $cully finished 3rd in the GW$ B & F. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-09-07/cameron-the-top-giant I tell myself that he is probably spitting chips now that we've got Roosy and that helps me sleep at night (and dream about Hogan).

If you take out a Demonland Subscription then you get the mobile skin which will automatically load once you are a Demonland Subscription Member and you are logged in on Demonland.

Here is a copy of a post from earlier in the year about the benefits of taking out a Demonland Subscription If you love using Demonland to talk about the Dees with fellow tragics then the best way for you to help is to take out a Demonland.com membership/subscription. You can either take out a one off annual membership which entitles you to a year of Demonland minus the annoying advertising on the site. You also get access to the mobile skin for viewing the site nicely on your smartphone. Or you can contribute a little bit more and take out a Lifetime membership which offers you the same as the annual membership but for life. The costs of these packages will be going up on March 2014 so get in quick to take advantage of 2013 prices. If you have already taken out a Demonland subscription and want to continue to help contribute to keeping this site running then you can always donate to us here - http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/donate/ The current costs for a Demonland.com membership is as follows: Annual Demonland.com membership is $25 per year. (1 year subscription of Demonland.com without advertisements. Also includes access to the Mobile Skin for Smartphones) Lifetime Demonland.com membership is $60 for life. (Lifetime subscription to Demonland.com without advertisements. Also includes access to the Mobile Skin for Smartphones) You can subscribed by clicking the Subscription tab under the main Demonland logo at the top of the page next to the Home tab and follow the prompts through to PayPal. Or simply click this link - http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/subscriptions/ The mobile skin looks like this on your smartphone: It's easier to read on a smartphone than the full site so if you do the majority of your reading of Demonland on your phone then the mobile skin is great. The software does of course recognise the device you are using so if you have a subscription but are viewing on your PC or iPad then it will display the full site. If you are viewing on your iPhone then it will display the mobile skin. If you are viewing the mobile skin on your phone and you want to view the full site there is a convenient button at the bottom and top of the page that allows you to switch back to the full site. Also, in addition to access to the mobile skin the subscriptions remove the advertising on the site to give you a better viewing experience of the site. Here is a screenshot of the site with ads: Here is a screenshot of the site with No Ads: All proceeds from subscriptions go towards paying for the site costs and periodically if there is anything left in the kitty I throw some of it Nasher's way for the amazing job he does in keeping the site's backend running smoothly or I will donate it back to the club. So if you want to help us out then there is a way to do so as well as getting something back in return. Cheers and Go Dees in 2014. Andy

If you don't like the Advertisements on the site the you can always take out a Demonland Subscription to remove them. All funds raised from subscriptions go towards covering the costs of running the site. Otherwise we need the advertising to bring this site to you for free.

Hey guys, just thought that I would put out a reminder that you can take out a Demonland subscription in order to view the site ad free. It also gives you access to the smartphone skin which makes the viewing experience of the site much better and easier on the eyes. You can take out a Lifetime ($60) or Annual ($25) whith all proceeds going towards covering the costs of running the site and I also send some Nasher's way for the excellent job he does keeping the back end of the site running smoothly. I have just paid for our yearly expense of forum software licensing and you also might have notice how smoothly the site was running during the Roos announcement so Nasher deserves some love. The prices will most likely go up at the beginning of the 2014 season so get in early for a reduced rate. You can subscribe here: http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/subscriptions/ If you are already a subscriber you may still contribute (again) by donating here: http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/donate/

#RoosYourSuccessor

Eight hundred Demon fanatics, the players, coaches and families filled the Crown Palladium for the Annual MFC Keith "Bluey" Truscott award night. Given the simply horrendous season that the club had just witnessed both on and off the field, this was nothing short of astounding; perhaps it was a final hope that signalled the end of this black era and the supporters were determined to put their best foot forward. The Keith "Bluey" Truscott award night is all about recognising and rewarding the efforts of those players from the club, who have excelled above all others. In such a year as we have had, the recognition is even more important, as those same players have little else to show for their hard work although Im sure that each and every award recipient would pass on the trophies handed out for a chance of premiership success instead. The other moving aspect of this night is rubbing shoulders with the true greats of the club. It really makes one realise how long and important is our history, when you can walk through the doors with previous winners of the Bluey and the heroes of by-gone days. Noel McMahon, Ron Barassi, David Neitz, James McDonald, Matthew Whelan ... they were all there on the night, and you get to share the evening with them. A pretty good experience all round.. The club through new CEO, Peter Jackson introduced a new award - the James McDonald Award for best team man and it was awarded to Nathan Jones. Not only was Nathan a deserving and worthy recipient, but having it presented and named after James McDonald represented a healing and welcoming back to the fold for James. It is only right that such great servants of the club are around to foster and encourage the younger and new players. And this was another sign that Jackson is setting about righting the wrongs about the way the Club has conducted itself in the past. The Coaches award went to Jake Spencer., the Ian Ridley Memorial award for community activities to Colin Sylvia and the Harold Ball award for best first year player to Jack Viney. The Troy Broadbridge award for best VFL player went to Jesse Hogan. The support, cheers and whoops when both Viney and Hogan received their awards signaled the hope that the supporters have for these two in coming years, and is a real credit to those in the recruiting department who uncovered these gems of players. As the votes were tallied for each round for the main event and award, the Club took the time out to recognise those who were leaving at the end of 2013. Joel Macdonald and David Rodan were thanked for their small duration, but significant contributions to the club. But the greatest cheer and standing ovation was reserved for Aaron Davey who bid farewell in the most charming and poignant way. Video highlights were not long enough to show the skills and highlights that he brought throughout his career. And his heartfelt thanks to the many who had supported him along the way, particularly his wife brought a tear to many eyes in the audience. With five children it is hoped that another Davey may one day pull on the red and blue jumper. The evening finished with the final tally and the award of the Truscott trophy. The final results were: 2013 Melbourne best and fairest results Winner: Keith Bluey Truscott Memorial Trophy Nathan Jones (365 votes) Second: Sid Anderson Memorial Trophy Colin Garland (360) Third: Ron Barassi Senior Memorial Trophy Dean Terlich (306) Fourth: Ivor Warne-Smith Memorial Trophy Matt Jones (303) Fifth: Dick Taylor Memorial Trophy Colin Sylvia (288) Sixth: Lynden Dunn (270) Seventh: James Frawley (268) Eighth: Jack Trengove (257) Ninth: Jeremy Howe (256) Tenth: Tom McDonald (249) With his second consecutive Bluey, Nathan Jones showed the true champion that he is. In his acceptance speech he acknowledged all who had contributed to his year, in particular Neil Craig. It was interesting that Craig in his introduction, indicated that he was looking forward to continuing to mentor and guide Nathan (.so read into that what you may..). Each of the award recipients gave worthy thanks to all around them, particularly family, who take a great deal of the pain and commitment required for the players to be able to participate at AFL level football. Girlfriend and wives in particular, as players told of waking up in the night to ice and attend to injuries, and of the moods and pressures that were brought home. Col Garland spoke highly of his mother and how she worked two jobs to be able to bring him and his brothers up and give them the chances that otherwise would have been denied. As Matt Jones collected his award and similarly paid tribute to his girlfriend, the cameras focused on her at the table where a playful Mitch Clisby quietly slipped his arm around her shoulder in Matt's temporary absence. Overall, the award said a lot about the 2013 Season for the MFC. The first two placegetters were simply standouts, and now being senior players themselves were head and shoulders above the rest. That so many other senior and long standing players werent immediately behind them in the voting was a sad indictment of the lack of talent and capability among this group. It was further emphasized when two first year players finish 3rd and 4th respectively, and can come into the club and perform consistently and competently before others who have been around for much longer is equally damning. On the positive side, Matt Jones and Dean Terlich are credits to the recruiting department of last year headed by Todd Viney. The club was desperate, due to previous recruiting failures to find players capable of filling obvious holes, and they certainly achieved this with Dean and Matt. Coupled with the Jack Viney and Jesse Hogan outcomes, the report card for Todd and his crew should have resulted in an award on the night for themselves. A good night was had by all. We all hope that 2014 will see a more competitive outcome in the awards, because it will signify a more competitive team overall on the field.

Originally I had him in a Demon's jumper but it didn't look right.

Considering the timeframe it was put up I can be excused.

There's actually 888 on the site now. Most ever online at once was 1407 in November 2012. I suspect that will be broken today. The site might get a bit slow at times but it should hold up OK. In Nasher we trust.

Please stop trying to get around the banned word filters. You will be banned from using this site like another poster today who tried my patience one too many times. Last warning to everyone. This is an exciting time for the club so don't spoil your chances of discussing the exciting times ahead.

Means nothing but http://www.sportsbet...s-coach-betting Re: WCE coaching gig "After getting the boot from Brisbane, Michael Voss is also a real chance at $9.00, while despite the speculation around a possible move for Paul Roos to Melbourne (he is priced at just $1.01 to go to the Dees), he is also in the market at $13 to coach the Eagles. Worsfold may not be lost to the football world after firming from $11 to $9.00 to coach the Brisbane Lions, and he is also $10 to coach Melbourne. There has been big wraps on Scott Burns for a while and he is a Perth boy, so we have him as favourite. Peter Sumich is a favourite son so cant be counted out, while we havent discounted a move by Michael Voss or Paul Roos, said sportsbet.com.aus Shaun Anderson."

MFC tweeted that no announcements on coach will be announced at the Bluey.

This happened a long time ago.

According to http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-09-05/live-worsfold-resigns?utm_medium=RSS

That's not true according some posters here.

The end for Worsfold If Roos goes to WCE in the 11th hour then some of the posters with "inside info" might get a permanent banning out of pure frustration.

That could just mean that he is staying in his role in the media.

Who vouches for you guys?
