Yep. Just to repeat what I said in the other thread: Huge thanks on ding-via-faultydet and Diablo-via-Jaded for the updates, on behalf of everyone. It is very much appreciated.

From Diablo via Jaded in the game thread: Diablo's best: Davey, Bate, Jones, Sylvia Special mentions: Miller and Carroll who battled hard. White and Meesen were good around the ground at times.

There is a God after all. http://demonland.ugbox.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=9002 -- post game thread. We'll keep this one pure(ish). Huge thanks on ding-via-faultydet and Diablo-via-Jaded for the updates, on behalf of everyone. Very much appreciated.

Guys, can we try to restrict this thread to score/general updates. If you want to barrack/comment, start another one so people don't have to wade through stuff to find out what's going on. Cheers. [Fully Agree - Rhino ]

So just like Godfrey except... not? I can't see the parallels to Godfrey at all.

Rubbish on every level. If Robbo has poor form this year it won't have anything to do with his appearance on this show.

Dappa, I reckon you could've just written that line and your point would still be well made, and correct for mine. I think it's a bit hard to take someone's arguement seriously when they dismiss the only benchmark you can assess recruiters on because they're "not interested".

Are you suggesting they play the Sydney game on the cricket pitch at the SCG instead? Maybe we could do the same and play our game at the MCG, but with modified rules -- middle of the ground is out of bounds. They play these regional games firstly for exposure, and secondly because many of the grounds are unavailable because they have a big hard square in the middle of them for cricket season. They're practice matches. They're not televised, the AFL get little or no revenue from them. They don't care who plays where and nor should they. Neither do I really. Membership promotion is nice, but it's not at all what the practice matches are about. They're essentially just training under real match conditions.

The outage on Friday night was completely unrelated to the swarm of hits. Performance right up until it died was absolutely fine, the server is more than robust enough to cope with a few hundred sissy little Demonland hits. If it were that, it would've slowly gotten worse and worse and ground to a halt (like Demonlogy did), rather than working fine one second then being dead the next. Anyway, rambling. Still haven't identified the cause of the prob but I'll try to by Friday!

Presumably for the same reason nobody else did, whatever that may be. The fact that nobody else took him for "free" (and while he was training for MFC every other club would've had just a good a look as we did) is a pretty good indication that there was probably more than meets the eye.

Us and 15 other clubs, including Essendon. He was completely passed over that year. Did you consider the possibility that maybe that year, he just did not show enough to get drafted? It wasn't until he spent another full year in the SANFL that he got picked by Essendon. It was a missed opportunity but to say it was "obvious" is rubbish. If it were that obvious he would have been taken when he first nominated.

Latter.

Calf injuries are real "old man" injuries. The P-train should've stayed retired.

I'm in Wise. Cheers.

gOLLy, you don't need to join again. If you log in and click on "League", there's a spot somewhere in the middle of the page that allows you to join a second league.

You can change it to Public I think. In the mean time, I'd like an invite please

Can't join Wise, you made it private.

What's your point? You only need to look at my title over there <--- to know that!

I reckon Wheels has fallen well outside our best side at the moment anyway. If he is to return, he's coming from a very long way back IMO.

My pet hate #1. If your thread is a question rather than giving us information, put a ? in your title, so suckers like me don't open the thread expecting you to have all the juicy goss. I've edited your thread title accordingly. Sorry to be a little anal. I've got no news. Carry on.

Very happy with that squad. Nice to see players who are important to our best side slowly being squeezed in. I imagine that as the practice rounds go on, more and more of them will rear their heads.

Winning. I don't care if people respect us or not. I don't think having other clubs hate us or think we're dirty is a necessity. Geelong didn't play like thugs or tough guys, they just played damn good footy. Brisbane played dirty and played good footy. I don't care which approach we take, as long as we win. Don't care if other clubs supporters respect us or not. The winning feeling beats everything.

Whose "average" is that?

I just wish their members would stop referring to our boys as "Demonology" ! Check out the forum title please!

Pity.
