  1. Oh that is the best news! It’ll shut all that media speculation up...comparing him to Tom lynch as a huge bargain for a club to swoop. Good on you Tommy!
  2. well the media certainly is not holding back, we are the flavour of the Monday night footy programs. Praise is wildly enthusiastic. It would be just like the mfc of the last heartbreaking 10 years, to be set up now for one big massive fail. it won’t happen , we are past that. This is the new beginning
  3. Hi, I became a member years ago with suggested $100 contribution, which removed the ads and all was good. But recently after one of the crashes, I was unable to access the site for a week or more, long story short, I had to create a new account with a different email address. And of course the ads returned. So Andy let me know the account details and I’ll forward funds over. It’s worthwhile reminding us every now and again of those recurring costs that have to be paid and the free expertise provided by Nasher. You all do an amazing job! What would I do with all those hours in my week without Demonland!
  4. I’ve listened and watched him for years on the abc, started as a big fan; he knows sport, articulates well, and commentated without ego. However, over the years, I believe ego has become more prominent, he has become nauseatingly sanctimonious to the extent, I can’t listen to him on SEN (or the podcasts). Added to this, let me tell you, (those unfamiliar with him), he has a real bias against Melbourne, I know this for a fact. Chip on the shoulder perhaps
  5. We would only be news if we had lost. Just watch this week, there will be plenty of positive media talk about Collingwood & Richmond et al, and negatives about Essendon, saints, Carlton, but not a word about us.
  6. Out if town, listened to abc , biased coverage, special comments guys are sounding extremely disappointed
  7. Both captain and coach took full responsibility, even though it seems the key offender was Warner. But as leaders they recognise that with the prestige of their positions and the big bucks, comes ultimate responsibility for both good and bad. Yes what a stark contrast to Hird. Steve Smith (and Bancroft) will be welcomed back, in large, by the Australian public with open arms after serving suspension. Redemption and forgiveness will be theirs. I wonder through hird’s iron clad ego, if he reflects on how things could have been.
  8. Garry? Is Garry Lyon on On the Couch?
  9. No not all, just an innocent Demonland life member who has wandered over, because it was at the top of the list of those unread. Don’t worry, I won’t come back, I’ll leave you to it
  10. The abc is my main source for news, -tv, radio and online. What is guthrie’s motive SWYL? Is she wanting to broaden it’s appeal by dumbing it down? Or is it just cost cutting in response to the constant funding decreases? meanwhile I will miss Lateline...
  11. Well done Mazer, I agree with everything you have written, and admire your effort and succinct writing style. You are so right about McLaughlin, his exclusion was embarrassing, I didn’t realise he left.
  12. From this “Apparently earlier today I was in a 'sel-harm' mood and instead of calling lifeline I went through with it and watched the last quarter of the final game against Collingwood. Jack Watts absolutely stank it up that quarter. From failing to cover his opponent (cost a goal) to spectating and then failing to lay an effective tackle or smother in the goalsquare (cost a goal), to spectating and then arriving too late to affect a contest just outside the square (cost a point, luckily) to fluffing a forward run, to a whole string of really poor body language, it was terrible. I don't have a personal problem with Jack Watts the way some people seem to, but rewatching his last quarter for us has left me with a much better understanding of why he had to be moved on. Wishing him all the best (up to a certain point) at Port, and also confident we made the best decision possible at the time.” to this “Inspired by Little Goffys post above i watched the entire R23 game. ...missed it back then. Pies gave it their best. IMO Watts’ poor last quater was a bit exaggerated above. When we were thrashed in Q1 he was our best player, was good in Q2, maybe still our best by half time,,, average third and poor last quarters. I think the public nature of his unfair MFC treatment foolishly reduced his trade value for us. Here’s wishing Jack every success at Port Adelaide!” nothing is ever black and white
  13. Yes it’s interesting, Whateley was reported today as saying he won’t be changing his style and management don’t want him to, the plans for the station reaching a much broader audience was the appeal to switch. But as already said, outside afl season, growing the audience will be tough.
