McNamara's 25 disposals in round 9 wasn't too bad!

When did McVee get 'demoted' to the rookie list?

John Northey had an 'us v the world' approach in the late 80's. It dragged us from the depths to be a contender.

Thank you for that comprehensive response. I can't say I was happy at the time, but that frustration was short lived! I understand the decision you made and I support it.

Totally agree with your statement on Andy. I wanted to discuss the Interview of Pert and Goodwin. Which of the above does that fit into?

The answer to your first question is simple. I was posting at the time, but those posts evaporated. I have a copy if you require evidence. I want to make this clear; I'm referring to Demonland the site, not Demonland an individual. I'm highlighting the role Demonland (the site) plays in providing a forum that helps steady the ship in a storm. I fully understand the decision that moderators enacted, I'm communicating the side-effects of that action.

Unfortunately, you extracted sentences that supported your knee-jerks! "As superficial as that reaction may have been, it was ‘real’ at the time". I quote myself acknowledging that I was superficial to think that Demonland had let us down. "For a period, Demonland became irrelevant!" Meaning; 'not connected with or relevant to something'. Can you see my meaning?

I can appreciate how difficult and time consuming it must be to filter problematic content. Having said that, the blanket censorship and removal of posts that has occurred recently stymied Demonland members’ need to talk through what was happening. I found myself turning back to SEN and CH7 (media outlets I had removed from my listening habits) to keep up with developments. I’ll be honest, I felt Demonland had let us down in our hour of need. As superficial as that reaction may have been, it was ‘real’ at the time. Demonland is our first port of call in a crisis. It has a cathartic effect, to share impressions with fellow Demon supporters and seek a balanced view; something the wider media is unlikely to provide. For a period, Demonland became irrelevant! Contribution numbers fell away significantly. There must be some ‘middle ground’ that can be achieved in times like this.

Demonland seems to have stalled! I have a fair idea why, but I'm afraid to say for fear of being banned!

Must have a terrible culture at Adelaide! "While Steven May’s dig at Collingwood has raised eyebrows, he wasn’t the only one over the weekend to take a shot at the premiers. Speaking after winning the club’s best and fairest on Saturday night, Adelaide skipper Jordan Dawson revealed he messaged teammates during the grand final to tell them the Crows were better than Collingwood and Brisbane."

I think its time for our moderators to declare their political allegiance!

Does anyone remember painting goal posts on their dad's shed?

I think this thread illustrates how much we are in need of a feel-good story after the battering we have been taking.

Tayla is the best 'high' mark in the comp. She is one of the best kicks for distance. She is an exceptional athlete. When she hits, she hits hard! She stays!

The under-valuing of Hunter amazes me!

Most of this lot are considerably younger than Billings, so I wouldn't be offloading just yet!

I can't buck the nagging feeling that we are being set up for a prime-time draft scoop!

Yes, dazzle, another lesson on Media 'truth'. A little editing tweak here and there can create a different perspective altogether!

I've definitely changed my mind set after this interview. I'm no longer counting on Petty being our long-term answer to our key forward needs. I am confident we can cover him as a key back... Turner, Tomlinson, Adams. I'm now on the 'get us another gun key forward' bandwagon!

I agree with you!
