    What's wrong with everyone? Where's the WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS thread?
  2. La Dee-vina Comedia
    No need for excuses. Great job.

    Demonland currently has 534 users browsing this Forum. Wonder why?

    Would a suspended sentence help?

    I just hope it's not "Melbourne Bitter". It's too descriptive.
  6. La Dee-vina Comedia
    That's not what I heard.

    I'm a bit worried the AFL's grand plan is to merge us with North Melbourne and call us the Melbourne Roos.

    The scoring for leadership seems somewhat bizarre. Gary Ablett Sr would have been marked down on this score as would have Gary Ablett Jr when he was an 18-20 year old and I suspect Dustin Fletcher, Robert Harvey and other introverted players. So we wouldn't pick any of them because of this? Such nonsense.

    I think it should be scrapped anyway - but while the scheme exists, I suspect we'll be the beneficiary this year. My suspicion is that we might get something conditional as a form of priority pick, such as the rights to a 17 year old which we can only trade. In that way, this year's draft is not compromised and although it compromises next year's draft, by then everyone will have forgotten.

    Quite obviously the blacked out figure represents the Australian Federal election electronic media blackout. Presumably the picture of the most important person in Australia will be revealed after his identity is confirmed over the weekend.

    Minor amendment. I suspect long-term St Kilda supporters know what it feels like. Years of poor performance (was it 5 wooden spoons in the 1980s?) and when they finally become a decent footy side they get sidetracked by a silly schoolgirl, a sillier player manager and a really silly ex-Essendon player.

    More importantly, did our guys have a Mad Monday? If so, presumably there was no inappropriate behaviour or, at least, any evidence has been satisfactorily buried.

    I wouldn't have thought so. I suspect actual games of Finals footy will dominate. If the club wants to "dominate" the footy coverage, Tuesday or Wednesday would be the best days as all other days are dominated by selection news, match day coverage and post-match wrap up. But whether "dominating" the coverage is an integral part of the timing of any decision would be questionable for mine.

    As opposed to "true truths". Sums up the less literate media pretty well.
  15. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Not a big pool to consider. Oakley-Nicholls, big Vic Aanensen, Phil Earley (did he even play a game?). Who else?
  16. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Actually, we could be ninth. But I'd take it.
  17. La Dee-vina Comedia
    What exactly is this award for? Best off-field behaviour? best administration? best governance (seriously)? And who decides?

    Surely there's a clue in the reference to Bhutan. That's the place that measures Gross National Happiness.
  19. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Should suggest this in the 2014 slogan thread
  20. La Dee-vina Comedia
    That's about a minute longer than me. (I thought I saw Julian Assange at the 11 second mark...couldn't be could it?)
  21. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Redleg, you forgot the cost of all the wonderful extras the members get, such as, um, er...Oh, forget it.
  22. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Just like every year for the last 7 or so, all the best stuff for Melbourne supporters happens after round 22* and before round 1 the following year. This year is exceeding every other one so far. *Just for the pedants, Round 23.
  23. La Dee-vina Comedia
    What we did is "sack" Mark Neeld; if Worsfold's not at WCE next year it's because his contract was not renewed. Semantics, perhaps, but a lot more respectful for a coach who not only coached them to a premiership but has played and coached there for over 20 years. Why am I putting it in this thread? Because when the time eventually comes, I hope we have declined to renew the contract of our next coach - and only then if he didn't retire on his own terms first.
  24. La Dee-vina Comedia
    I didn't think we'd get Paul Roos, Peter Jackson or Mitch Clark. So I'm not giving up just yet on getting Ross Lyon and John Longmire as Roos' assistants either.
  25. La Dee-vina Comedia
    Another prediction (if Roos signs on): Sydney v Melbourne at the SCG, Round 2, Saturday night televised on Channel 7. (Round 1 still likely to be GWS v Sydney, in my view).
