MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 10
I just think of it as a ranking from 1-40 (or whatever) and Tyson, through form and the availability of Viney fell from 22nd to 23rd. The fact that he was in the senior side in the first place means they thought him a better option than all the other players at Casey. Being dropped from the side doesnāt necessarily change that.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - AUSTIN BRADTKE
I often wonder what happens behind the scenes with these multi-sport talents - especially the basketballers, when theyāve chosen the other sport, then suddenly rock up at Cat B rookies in the AFL. Given that thereās daylight between the career prestige and cash between the NBA and the AFL, you would owe it to yourself to have a crack at the former first and fall back to the latter when it was obvious it was not going to happen.

What the Fritsch
We respond to posts as they get reported using the āreport postā feature or as we stumble across them. We donāt read every single post - thatās doubly true during very busy periods like the trade period. Sometimes if Iām busy, 10 pages will be added to threads in between me viewing. If you see untoward things happening in threads, use the āreport postā feature to bring it to a moderators attention.

Viney on SEN (21/5)
Itās amazing how long itās taken a lot of footballers to realise that in general, people on the internet are flogs. Itās just a fact of life. Present company only partially included

Tom McDonald Contract Talks
Whatās with the introduction of the āLā word? Itās not about whether he stays or goes, itās just how much and for how long. Heās said he wants to stay (and why wouldnāt he?), and the club clearly needs him. Just standard negotiations. Iāve never been less fearful of losing players than I am now.

Changes vs Adelaide
No way. As I said in the post match, Smith did a number of contest killers that resulted in goals that should have been easy Carlton marks. Looked right at home for me. Pedersen is unlucky after his VFL performance, but there are no vacancies in the team for him.

Post Match Discussion - Round 9
Because I enjoy the suffering of others so much, having a browse of the Carlton BF board. Came across a āwe donāt deserve a priority pick because we got ourselves hereā. I had painful flashbacks. Yes bloke, all teams who end up really crappy do so because they made some bad choices along the way. Iām yet to see a club go āwe did everything right, but weāre still last on the ladder. We thoroughly deserve this priority pick!ā Iām *so* glad I no longer have to engage in that absurd level of conversation. Being on the winning side of a hiding is every bit as enjoyable as I thought it would be.

GAMEDAY - Round 9
Carlton play a tough contested brand of footy, but just have far too many crap players. No coaching or game plan can help when youāve got the likes of Kerridge who rack up possessions on the wing, turn inboard and kick a scrubber along the ground in to the centre and turn a clear avenue to goal in to another contest. Weāre in 3rd gear. Find 4th and we will annihilate them. And Plugger McDonald, you are a star.

GAMEDAY - Round 9
Wonder when the last time we had all jumper numbers 1-10 in the team at the same time?

GAMEDAY - Round 9
Iāve noticed the same thing. The expectation pre-match makes me feel sick, but I embrace it. Itās still better than that overarching sense of impending doom. I also found it really difficult watching to the end of the Hawks and Tiges games when we were playing poo. In the past Iād always watched to the end looking for some morsel of things to take out of the game, but when you know one or two minor acts arenāt going to cut for taking the edge off the smashing, that was really hard to take.

It means it might be sending your password from you to the server in plain text instead of being encrypted - it increases your risk of having your Demonland account hacked from minuscule to minusculy less minuscule. Up to you whether you want to live with that (I am) - Iām 99% sure itās always been that way anyway.

This is number 6 that I can think of. This migration was nowhere near as painful for me as the previous one, which took several days. Hopefully the last for some time!

Thanks. We really shouldnāt overlook the efforts Andy ( @Demonland) puts in either - weāve both been stuffing about with this since early this morning to get it going. It takes a team to do this stuff!

Whew. That was a lot less comfortable than we were expecting and took a lot longer, but we made it. Welcome to the new server!

Not sure. Iāve always just assumed the site was always offline when I am asleep.
