Tom McDonald says he can't wait to play under Roos, after having a meeting with him on Monday - http://www.melbournefc.com.au/melbourne/news/2013-09-12/mcdonald-rapt-with-roos-on-board Jack Grimes hopes to continue his leadership position under Paul Roos - http://www.melbournefc.com.au/melbourne/news/2013-09-12/i-want-to-stay-skipper-under-roos-grimes I will post any other stories about players talking about Roos here.

Not sure if you've heard but we have a new coach.

Same thing is happening at times with me too. Any suggestions Nasher?

Better today. It was slow as dogs balls as they say from around 4pm til about 7pm.

Just out of interest what ISP are the people experiencing issues with? Last time we had issues it was just bigpond customers. Just want to see if it is one ISP or everyone.

I'm experiencing periodical slowness. I have sent a text message to Nasher and no doubt he will get onto as soon as he can. We have lives & families too .... sometimes.

For the third successive season, the Werribee Tigers bundled the Casey Scorpions out of the VFL finals series in straight sets in their semi-final at North Port Oval. The loss was Casey's 10th consecutive finals loss since 2008 and its ninth on end since taking on its alignment with Melbourne. Whatever was the case in previous seasons, the Scorpions were certainly desperately unlucky on the injury front this year. They had nine Demons in their team against the Tigers but lost a similar number of qualified players to injuries and/or retirements in the past month including young goal kicking sensation Jesse Hogan. But let's leave the excuses aside because Casey started well enough and held a two goal lead at the 20 minute mark of the second term before lapses of concentration, poor decision making and sloppy use of the football let their opponents back into the game to lead at the main break and then consolidate to take control in the all-important third quarter. This all took place despite the Scorpions dominating the hit outs through the agency of Max Gawn who gave Tom Couch (38 disposals) and the heavily tagged James Magner (33) clear superiority at the stoppages. Unfortunately, it was the Tigers who often mopped up the Scorpions mistakes allowing their midfield to work back into the game. Werribee's greater accuracy in front of goal was also a factor - they rarely missed while some of the Casey forwards were making a meal out of relatively easy shots in front of goals. Earlier, Tim Smith was dangerous up forward with four first half goals but he was also needed as a foil for Gawn in the ruck and, as a consequence, had little impact after half time. Neville Jetta was strong for most of the game running out of defence, skipper Evan Panozza worked hard to shut down the opposition forwards and James Sellar was good whilst down back. Jake Best who has been a revelation as a small goal kicking forward was kept in check for most of the game but broke out of his shell for two goals in the third quarter. Rohan Welsh did a terrific job with the team given that its financial position at the beginning of the year was precarious preventing it from going out to recruit big name players. He got the most of the players at his disposal whether they were Demons or VFL listed Scorpions - a fantastic achievement given what was happening with the Melbourne Football Club earlier in the season. In my opinion, he ranks among the best of the VFL coaches on his performance throughout the season. 2013 Peter Jackson VFL Casey Scorpions4.3.27 7.6.48 9.10.64 12.12.84 Werribee Tigers 5.2.32 9.4.58 15.5.95 19.10.124 Goals Casey Scorpions Smith 4 Best 2 Gent Gillies Lindsay Magner Petropoulos Taggert Werribee Tigers Maric Warren 4 Davis 2 Bolton Brown Clouston McDonald Martiniello Meredith Ross Sherlock Sullivan Ross Best Casey Scorpions Jetta Smith Riseley Petropoulos Panozza Sellar Werribee Tigers Clouston Maric Ross Bolton Moore Sierakowski Final Stats Couch 38 Magner 32 Petropoulos 23 Jetta Plummer J Tynan 18 L Tynan 17 Bail 16

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.

Demonland cannot control the browsing habits of visitors in regards to clicks throughs they make after they leave the site. As part of our partnership with google Ads we do not allow ads to pornographic or gaming sites. The ads that are displayed for individuals will differ based on the users browsing habits and the content that is already on Demonland.

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.
