I thought it was pretty obvious, otherwise it would have been completely out of sync with the structure of his article. It came from Robbie57 on the 75th post on this thread. And I think Demonland is a great site, as I posted - you get more insight on here than you get from the best 'journos' at the Hun and Age. But therein lies the problem - we are not evidence in any article - we have no stature as we are anonymous. We are just an amorphous group of posters that decide to post our thoughts on here. Forums shouldn't be news.

They usually don't, because 'supporter site' and 'thinking' don't go hand in hand... If what anonymous blowhards say on a forum can be used in articles - what is journalism coming to? I don't like the way 'evidence' for journos articles come from other journos spouting nonsense - this is step down the slippery slope of unknown destination if forum posters can be 'evidence.'

Yes, the pretense has finally been dropped... A few on here were shocked, and some rolled their eyes, when I posted last year that Land offers more insight into the Demons and the game than the Hun or the Age. Is this not proof? We are the news. We are gods. Well, no, that's going too far...but you know what I am saying.

The more humiliating thing was the thousands of MCC members that jeered the kid as he came off. Neeld is his coach and gave him a direct message that would have been given via the phone - we Melbourne fans ridiculed him.

Wasn't a great moment for him, but if half the side ran as much as Morton did - we would be better off. It's the funny circumstances of footy - if you get it 13 times and never look for some uncontested footy are you better for the side than the guy who gets an extra 10 touches and screws up 3 or 4 times? I would say - decidedly - no.

Boston are above 500! But the injuries won't let up! Watch out in the last third of the season - we will win about 40 games...

Huge win for Boston!! As a guy without a team I am pretty much just loving the teams left - Boston and SA, and hoping the Le Bron Wade and Russell Durant shows end in the Semis. But I think Russell Durant will make it... But Boston... Here we go! 1 to go! Pierce's 3!

If I read you correctly, you are saying that you should look to the later picks, rookie draft, and trades for those who are to have an immediate impact. Essentially, this is affirmation of taking Magner as a 24 year old rookie. But I don't expect those early picks (and I am talking top 10 picks as I think it's a teenage lottery from there on) to make an immediate impact. You draft in the top 10 for the best player available when they are 23. So I don't hold judgement over our recent drafts. As I said many times of late, I am more distressed about our recruiting and development of those players arriving from 2000 to 2005.

I understand where you are coming from but a recruiter will be more heavily scrutinised on the high-value picks at the beginning of the draft - that's where the stars come from. You have got to get those picks right.

Patty Mills 20 Points for SA over the Cavs... A lot of junk time play but 20 mins is still good...

Hype is hype but it doesn't change the fact that Denver swapped Tim Tebow for Peyton Manning... Ridiculous upgrade. And, DD, Ryan is playing a dumb game if he is trying to move on Sanchez - they just extended him - 3 years, $41m... They are going to do the Tebow Wildcat in close games and when it wins them one game, Sanchez will become the most expensive back-up QB in history...

What did he say?

Maybe, but Elway won as a 37 year old and a 38 year old. And that was in the late 90s where QBs were protected but nothing like today. Manning will get hit but he is a chance to take them to the top 2 of the AFC and from there anything is possible. Tebow would have brought 'winning but go-nowhere' seasons for years as he learnt to throw in the pocket. And it would not have been easy to extricate themselves from Tebowmania. I think, even if it fails, it doesn't.

Should have gone to the Jags... They are his hometown team AND they have the worst QB in the game. But because of Sparano and Ryan like using the Wildcat at the Jets? Yeah, every now and again they do, but they still want a QB to sit and throw it for most of the game... He should have gone to the Jags and the owner would have structured everything around him to sell tickets, because that is the best attribute Tebow has.

What are the Jets doing? Playing the Wildcat offence every now and again can work great... But not when the QB you are using is a pseudo-hero for a certain section of all NFL clubs (those that think NY is a city of sin, oddly enough) and when he comes on the field the 'Starting QB' is 'sputtering'... What happens when it works a few times? Mark Sanchez will become as unpopular as you think his last name should make him... If I can use 'Tebow' as a verb, and I think I can - The Jets are about to get royally Tebowed in the groin at some point next season, and they won't easily un-Tebow themselves. Always trust The Elway. He knows what's best...

This thread has turned into that to which it was once so aggressively against.

I knew it would. Whether he deserves it or not (he does), journos don't look hard for narratives and "young player gets paid more than he should be" is right up their lazy alley.

I didn't know embracing a traditional blazer meant becoming a Dickens character...

It's our history, we may as well embrace it, rather than hide it, we sure as hell can't change it.

I think Cam can walk and chew gum at the same time...

Four stars is generous. Cliched nonsense for the most part. Some good politics and then they said "f*** it, let's just churn out the 'sex with intern [censored]' that we always do" halfway through. 2 stars from rpfc.

I doubt there would be berries... I think it would be fruitless...

I doubt there would be anything close to a banana in there...

It's funny how the 'forever thus' has morphed into, after the decades of failure, into a writ of perpetual failure, a promise of eventual doom. First step would be to grow out of that.

This is the killer for me. It's a difficult situation, but to land yourself a job in which you are getting paid ten times more than you should be on the back of your sons talent illustrates pathetic character. It tells me all I need to know about that family.
