‘It’s a disgrace’? To whom or what? Why is this role player getting games so abhorrent? I would argue that with the restrictions on interchanges and our desire to keep our best 18 out on the ground - the player in Jake’s role is only going to play a certain amount of time and that is hard to get consistency in your game. So the MC will have to take into account whether a player can fill that role and be given the best chance to succeed if they are only getting 60% game time.

You’re right, it would cause shame and humiliation. @Nasher - ban the game day threads - it’s for people’s own good as they are humiliating themselves through the ability to post while watching the game. Perhaps Demonland should be on hiatus for three hours every weekend? My tongue is so entrenched in my cheek that it’s becoming fatigued but seriously - we are 11-1 and swept up in this ridiculousness.

What I find intriguing is Spargo doesn’t feature in the pressure act leaders (in fact he is low) or the tackle leaders but he is a big part of that system and always seems to be in the right place and his entries inside forward are up there with Salem in terms of effectiveness. Really pleased for him.

And I love the talk about ‘censorship’ - people were quoted anonymously! If anything their ‘voices of reason’ were amplified, not censored… And there is no public square here - we are posting at the discretion of Andy and whatever cloud software he is subscribing to and whatever AWS or Azure servers are holding this nonsense.

Sit down.

How precious some of you are; @Deefiantput a mirror up to some of us and you don’t have to like it but he didn’t do anything more than that. He doesn’t need to defend anything, if you want to vent and say ridiculous things - by all means - but we can roll our eyes. I like to think of Demonland as a pub where we are all there; Andy behind the bar, Nasher trying to fix the wifi, rjay referring to everyone with ‘air quotes’ and causing angst and confusion, and rpfc sitting in the corner contemplating whether to point out that the thing that newbie said is wrong or over the top and he should just sit down.

Thanks @Pates Has anyone heard about when tix go on sale?? I thought they wanted to get going ASAP.

They can feel frustrated but they can shove their comments about ‘empty stadiums’ and ‘500 people will rock up’ and that’s just as good as playing in front of no one up their you-know-whats. As a Demon up in Canberra I have travel to see every game pretty much so having NSW based Dees be given a treat like watching the Lions game and QB is a massive silver lining to these cloudy times. I wish there was a bit more empathy that’s all.

Ourselves? Is this a riddle? The answer is Matthew McConaughey behind the book case?? Coz I still don’t understand that... the 5th dimension? What happened to the 4th? You skipped a dimension!

Then what a great atmosphere it will be. Honestly, I don’t know what you expect of the AFL - they are reacting to news on real time and trying to make the best decisions across commercial, football and to get people to the game. This decision lessens the potential impact on us and we get to put the club and Neale up in lights once again. And the northern state Dees can get to another game and show us how important they are.

He doesn’t attack the footy as the ball approaches. It’s a confidence thing but if you don’t break out of the funk it can become habit - and you never run at the footy to the leap and Mark at your highest point with momentum through your body ie. the best way to get separation and absorb contact and take the grab.

This is great. I hope the moaners on here about playing at Giants Stadium; the ones who think ‘we should have just played in front of no one’ will self-reflect with this post. You were great and enjoy QB with the rest of the Demons up north.

Excellent work. I reckon I can name the owners of some of those ‘nuggets’... And can I just add that what a disgrace some of you were about the faithful up north - they rocked up and brought a noise that was worth 5 times their numbers. Well done to the Northern states fans - you were great.

Not to dwell on this because we should get back to handwringing over finances - but if you can get people to actually isolate at home - there is no need for hotel Q.

Hi Stephen! I thought you spelled your name differently??

Yes, but why bring in a 19 year old... He will be on the list - barring unacceptable behaviour/standards - in 2022.

That’s an argument against bringing anyone in. This is circumspective depth in the event of a disaster or a miracle. I wouldn’t let it furrow your brow.

Good on the Admin and the board for letting us fill all spots - it’s great to be able to do that and have the depth to replace a Petty or a Hibberd.

I think that it is likely that they shouldn’t be encouraged to publicly announce who we intend to take ahead of time lest a team pip us with their selection...

Ummmmm, I have one pretty good excuse... Cough. Literally *cough*

Yeah, but how tall is his height??

The highlights package of him doing a ‘defensive job’ was probably quite boring...

Do it in Adelaide and get some coin and keep the sponsors in mind and Neale’s initiative up in lights. They can do a split of people getting dunked in ice across the two states and make it unique. The crowd will go along on a public holiday over there.

Wingers Club as described by Gus is Langdon, Brayshaw, Baker, Nietschke, Rosman, and in the recent past Jordon. Per Gus&Gawny pod. So if they don’t shoehorn it with a non-winger will be Baker straight in or Sparrow in and Jordon to the wing. I think they will stick to the roles - it reinforces the edicts around playing your role, and knowing what you have to do.
