i dont think its official, there are quite a few who traipse the boarders...however it seems the 'ology was originally more serious while demonland was more 'fun'. i wasnt around at the beginning and didnt find ology til much later and prefer it here. maybe im easily swayed by the easy to use interface. whatev. i dont think they would tolerate yze magic for example...lol

i havnt heard anything about davey...but yze will play. perhaps davey wont play and you're right champ. i wont be disappointed.

well i reckon we've got these ones covered tonight for sure... PLAYED 1061: 568-486-7 NIGHT 45: 25-20. MOST RECENT GAME: round 11, 2007, v Collingwood.

lol whats the supposed to mean? and if you ever want go round to oloy and check my post count, its nothing compared to here...

anyone else having problems getting on over there? i dont go there heaps but when demonlands having a slow day i drop over. not working atm tho...

ok lets say its not a rumour...

Neitz out. Yze in. Im going to go along anyway in the hope that newton will get a run. but he won't. ill add a disclaimer. that i wasnt told this first hand. but if your gonna change your bets or your tips...

have i got this correct? are you really here on demonland advocating not to bring in newton? lol wow. you must be new here haha the rest of us are obsessed!

he sounds like the perfect match for anyone. good quality talls are a risky proposition. if he is a guaranteed star they'll take him at one. hopefully he falls of it a bit this season and sneaks through to us, because i think the ruck and the key forward are our most needed at the moment...

ive been inside all day so i wouldnt know.

doesnt really look like its raining anywhere atm... http://mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR022.loop.shtml http://www.bom.gov.au/gms/IDE00005.200706220230.shtml

well then you would realise why he was being misled. why did you need to ask?

" Dukes was taken at 80 in the first round of the 1999 AFL draft by the Carlton Football Club, signing to a two-year deal at the tender age of 17. After one year on the senior list at the Blues, Dukes was delisted and picked up by Essendon where he spent 2001 on the club's supplementary list. " a quote from the article linked by CHAMP. picked at 80 in the first round? signed a two year deal and then delisted after 1? does that sound a bit strange to you?

i think the point is that the mfc team was picked with neitz named at FF. the email then came out saying neitz wasnt going to play. it is old news that he 'wasnt playing' the new mail is that he is...

i think bate will end up in the pavlich mould of, well he could play either but will play where the team needs him. i dont think miller will be delisted. if we get a decent trade for him i think we'll take it. otherwise he will always be handy as depth. his height and size justify this. but honestly, you have seen miller paly, and you have seen bate play. who is going to be at CHF and who will be on the bench? interesting that out of this of players retired/delisted/traded only 3 are in our definite best 22 atm Neitz (32), Robertson (29), White (30), while these five are border line. Yze (30) Pickett (30), Godfrey (27), C.Johnson (delisted), Miller (traded) yze deserves to leave on his own terms, but i think he either misses best 22 or scrapes in on the bench. pickett if firing is worth another season (persoanl preference), godfrey will stay for a couple as a reserve mid/tagger, he is having a good season. miller was discussed above. and unfortunately im not sure if CJ has it. i think he might need a new club. when you look at this, our list is in pretty good shape really. the rest of the team nucleus will stay together for the next 5 years, with bruce, johnston and wheelan the next three to go. obviosuly we will have to draft to replace them. the biggest problem is going to be that we are losing a swag of depth. holland, bizzel, brown, ward, ferguson, jamar and the five named above are the players who come in with injuries, but they play a number of games each a year. we need to make sure we draft players of this quality or better to take their spots, which might be why we hold CJ. will he mature later and hold down a key depth spot as a player with good disposal? otherwise we'll have a great 22 but nothing in the 23-30 slots...only kids

i like it... fwiw kangarros play on saturday night in round 18, in brisbane. west coast play sunday arvo at home against freo. shortening their week by 1, but not a massive issue. although i still dont think the afl would move the game for one player lol

ive heard kreuzer mentioned elsewhere...pretty sure he'll go top or close to it. though i would love to snare him. its almost worth throwing the year for him...

yeah i got the same thing...talk about mixed messages. i get the feeling the club doesnt prepare these however, it comes from a central afl source (through whoever is doing the website) and they simply put all of the weeks news in the email...im not sure if the team was even in that email was it?

i said 1 metre over the man on the mark to ensure that he ca jump and put his hands up. and i had the player kicking the ball from three metres away from the player... i spose we really need a kicking or physics expert to sort this out for us. i wonder if the club has done the maths and realises there is no major benefit in having an extra 15cm on the mark?

yeah trig what a joke lol. i had to use simultaneous equations yesterday, i was surprised i remembered!

while i agree it should be considered, im not sure it will happen. holland hasnt been thrown up forward this season much (maybe not even at all?), ND has seemed determined that he play back and he has sat on the pine at other times...

just out of interest: a player kicking from the 50, where the man on the mark is at 47m from goal. assuming the player kicks the ball 1 metre over the man on the mark (extended arms plus jumping). if the player is 185 cm: the ball must be kicked on an angle of 43.5 degrees with the ground. if the player is 200 cm: the ball must be kicked at 45 degrees. not a massive angle. i am not a big maths guys but it could be enough to change the kick. doesnt seem very significant though does it? perhaps if it is a weaker kicker of the ball from a long distance out...

hey i wasnt having ago about the tallest guy on the mark...i reckon thats a good idea, but i am worried about the quick side step. if it was white on the mark the player could run around him no worries. i wasnt sure about the piggy backing rule, though it is vaguely familiar. what about a run up and attempted speccy by a player over the person on the mark?if the kicker has already kicked it, it couldnt be 50 for going over the mark if he falls forward? the juggling one i thought about, but i think the definition is controlled the ball. if i was umpiring i'd call play on if you went too far. and i think this would be too hard tp pull off unless you were already running in that direction. ie if you were leading towards the boundary line, youd have to change direction, it would look pretty obvious. the couple of bounces. i had noticed the pies do this as well and was ropable. imo that was really really poor umpiring, but they did have an average game with the deliberates (although they got every hands in the back spot on, except for one ). i think it should have been 50. i'd bring it up with umpiring dept. if they say its only 50 if you kick it then we should do it. but collingwood did that every time, and always took 2 bounces, like they new theyd get away with it. it bugs we that deliberate acts like that go un penalised while jared rivers got pinged last year against sydney...and brock got done in the same game.

i think because of the reoccurring injuries he has been getting they are taking the cautious approach with wheels to get him match fit once again before he is brought in...i have read he has been doing reasonable jobs without being spectacular. but sometimes thats part and parcel of being a backman.

i mean, i dont think he will play for sandy after acting as an emergency. i dont think he is over his injury yet, and so they want to rest him, but if we need to call on him he will play. no point in playing at sandy though...
