Delistings/trades at end of the season
Actually, I think Kali might be playing the game of "Demonland, I told you so". This scattergun approach allows Kali to say, "I told you [insert player's name here] was going to be off our list at the end of the year."

I fear clubs will get involved in Family Planning.

Should perhaps use Richmond's doctor rather than our own, though.

Delistings/trades at end of the season
Dermott Brereton has said previously that in the year before the 2001 draft Hawthorn would have taken Judd with Pick 1 if he'd been eligible. They decided one year later because of his shoulders that they'd take Hodge instead. However, that decision would have been helped by the knowledge that Hodge was likely to be a superstar.

I just love the way everything Barrett says which might ultimately benefit Melbourne is believed on Demonland to be ridgy-didge, 100% true without question and everything he says which might be critical of Melbourne is made up, arrant nonsense.

Tom McDonald?
I never thought people would pay to go out for breakfast. And just to stay almost on topic, after seeing his first few games, I never thought Addam Maric would make it.

Tom McDonald?
I'm old enough to remember watching Tom Jones early in his career. Even then I didn't think he was good enough to get a gig on Grand Final Day. How wrong was I.

When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?
Do we want to add to the list "First 40 year old player"?

Daniel Andrews (Vic Premier) and Linda Dessau (about to be Vic Governor) - Essendon Ross Stevenson (radio announcer) and John Silvester (aka 'Sly of the Underworld') - Hawthorn Mick Gatto and the late Alphonse Gangitano - Carlton (what more needs to be said?) Diane ('DD') Dunleavy (radio announcer) - St Kilda

Just buy some digital icecream and go for it.

I like vandenBerg's attack on the ball and I like his tackling...but now I'm really worried about his sense of humour.

Another one to add to the list: Last time a Demonland training thread was not derailed: About 2008

Slightly different, but still waiting for a Melbourne player to kick 100 goals in a season.

DC, not everything that comes out of Canberra is a disappointment. The road to Yass is a good example.

Josh Lyon - is the son of a gun a gun?
I'd rather he was a top 5 pick but scouts rated him top 50 worthy.

Josh Lyon - is the son of a gun a gun?
Or in my case, impossible

Josh Lyon - is the son of a gun a gun?
Maybe...but I could also have named Tadgh Kenneally, Pierce Hanley, Zac Tuohy, Sean Wight and others. (Hopefully I haven't butchered the spelling of all those names too much. Apologies to the aforementioned if I have.)
-
Josh Lyon - is the son of a gun a gun?
I hope he makes it. Just so we can have two Christians and a Lyon in the one team. And while we're talking about players not picking up the game until they're 16 or so, don't forget Jim Stynes, Mike Pyke and all the other successful imports. At least Josh Lyon has grown up around football and will understand the game unlike those who grow up overseas.

That will be the death of him. Haven't we already proven that young players can't be leaders?

What colour is the sky? Demonland responds..
Where's Range Rover's poll? You know, "Is the sky (a) Royal Blue (b) Navy Blue © Pale Blue (d) Teal (e) any other shade."

Are you an accountant and work on a Financial Year basis? How else can a post on 18 July be an "early nomination" for post of the year? (But I agree with your sentiment.)

Careful. He may decide your contribution is a gif of some moving clouds.

The 2014 AFL National Draft
Actually, I think the reverse. If Tyler Roos was drafted to Melbourne I'd see Paul Roos leaving claiming a conflict of interest. When Denis Pagan was coach of North Melbourne he had difficulties with how he managed his son who was on the Kanga's list for a while. Put simply, whichever approach Pagan (senior) took, he couldn't win.
