"mostly" being the operative word He could be harmless and fun, but he also had quite a nasty vindictive streak that occasionally surfaced. I suppose he was like a fine wine... looks great while it's on the shelf, but once the cork is out it can go off pretty quickly.

Thanks for the welcome D-L. One thing which both sites do have in common (and I am not so sure that is a good thing) is Yze-Magic

Funny, being new on here and having been on Demonology for a few years, I actually thought there seemed to be more of the "older brigade" (of which I am one, by the way) on here. I think that the "narrower and inadventurous" comment is a bit unfair, as that has little to do with age in my opinion. Demonology is possibly a little less "administrated" than Demonland and as such can get a little anarchic from time to time... which is not necessarily a bad thing by the way :-) Unfortunately due to the fact that the owner of the site has been ill and unable to complete work on the site upgrade (although I have heard that is to be done soon), it has meant that it has not been possible for new members to join up and so discussions are tending to stagnate; on the other hand it has meant that administrators have been unable to impose bans on intentionally disruptive posters. Being new here I am enjoying the serious discussions and the regularity of comments and the general optimism (although I'm sure I will see a different side over time)... having said that I love the cameradery of Demonland and the humour and the no holds barred nature of some discussions. I just wish they could get more on board and the ability to eject the trolls when they appear.

I'll be watching from Sydney... thanks to very good eyesight coupled with a television. (RobbieF... nice to see still posting somewhere.)

What Trengove stated was absolutely true... he IS starting his AFL career, and he IS starting it with the MFC... how anyone can extrapolate from that, that he is considering moving on, is taking paranoia into previously unchartered territory.

That statement may have had some validity a few years ago, but certainly dos not ring true anymore. Like myself, many many Sydneysiders were not always Sydneysiders (I grew up in Melbourne).

They might have to use Roughhead?

As opposed to "whole" session... that's what kryton was on about

I notice that most posts seem to be talking about recurring injuries, strengthening of ligaments, etc etc... but is there any possibility that this could have been a freak occurrence that can be put down to the way he landed and it is something that may not happen again? Is it possible that the time being taken by the club is in looking closely at sucvh a possibility with surgery as a last resort? I am certainly no expert on such matters, but I thought I would throw my thoughts out there in the face of the current bout of negativity

Wondering where this bit of information has come from... nothing on the AFL's MFC site, nothing in the Age's Real Footy, not even a Tweet from Schwabbie.
