Sideline Symbols To Revolutionise Game Day Coaching
@hemingway - My personal stance on the need to redesign AFL for the youth market is one of cynicism - but the sport isn't just for me and my generation. But the marketing arm of the AFL - operate in that space and use that language - it is a product, thus, how do we maximise consumption? Let's jazz hand it up a bit Language evolves, from my vantage point - it in itself is not the problem. The 'problem' is age old and about a simple schism in generational thinking...yeah yeah I know you know this @hemingway - you're a savvy cat. - ie: in the 50's - parents viewed Bill Haley as Ozzy Osbourne of the 70's and Marilyn Manson of the 90's Things evolve - people are either open to it or not - it doesnt make the change either right or wrong...let's get buddhist on it.... it is what it is.

Sideline Symbols To Revolutionise Game Day Coaching
I'd argue they're not out of touch @Demon Dude They're innovating the product. Now then... I am nudging 40 - and I don't relate to all things they're bringing that surrounds the game - but they're trying to bring versions of the game to a younger market - AND don't forget that average age of players is around 23... they've all being brought up on devices, and are tech savvy... I'd argue that although you and I don't necessarily 'connect' with it - they have an understanding that the broader section of society that will follow the game in 10 years, 20 years will want shorter versions of the game with more 'insights/statistics' and grounded more with technology...let alone those who play the game themselves.

Lyon: Oliver is Demons best EVER midfielder
I say - good on Garry for using his media position to raise awareness to just how good Clarry actually is... There is no doubt that the media darlings get the votes (except for Trac). On a side note - Remember when Wowoedin went platinum blonde in 2000 so he stood out?? Also how good was Wowoedin''s 17 bounces from the half back line... if anyone's got some vision of it - better than McGuane methinks... Just found it at the 25sec mark

POST MATCH DISCUSSION: Melbourne vs Richmond - JLT 01
My standpoint is this ... TMAC doesn't need to press for a round 1 slot - he will have it. TMAC is pragmatic as [censored] TMAC understands JLT is meaningless TMAC don't give a damn about Rance and having to prove himself....

POST MATCH DISCUSSION: Melbourne vs Richmond - JLT 01
It's a fair comment @Deestar9 - he has been given a long contract to show his wares - so he wont be the finished article this year... Part of me rolls my eyes at his lumbering cumbersome movement - part of me is thrilled with his bohemoth throwing of bodies... but as long as he can clunk a few marks, jag some goals and give Max a good rest when required...

Marcus Seecamp (where is he now)
Just stumbled across an article on a WNBL player - Seekamp - got me thinking of Marcus - whom for some reason I really liked as a young supporter. Where. Is. He. Now? Frosty's style of play reminds me of him, a bit quick, a bit uncoordinated and tall.

AFLX Revamped
Curious....Do Demonlanders have an understanding at Goodwin and Co's view on AFLX? Do they see it as an important part of preseason? Do they see it adding value or not to what the club wants to achieve with its players? Do i expect to see media reports that we've got an alarmingly high injury list for the sole purpose of avoiding putting players into the AFLX competition? @Satyriconhome you must have a vibe or solid intel on this, with your closeness to the group.
