I know its a tough job running the Demonland site but can't you guys block out fake ads ? The phony ads using David Koch to promote dodgy crypto currency come up all the time on Demonland are clearly trying to scam people and are probably run by criminals.

Bennell talking to a VFL Club about a return
Cranky Franky replied to cantstandyasam's topic in Melbourne Demons
You seem to be running a one man Bennell fan Club promotion. HB is clearly delusional about what he has to offer. Apart from the fact that he is over the hill & injury prone he has a history of indiscretions at all 3 clubs he played at. -
Surely you're kidding about McVee. I watched most games & he did absolutely nothing at Casey & was well behind several Casey listed players in effectiveness.

Why Luke Dunstan came to Melbourne
Cranky Franky replied to george_on_the_outer's topic in Melbourne Demons
Was overlooked despite very good form like a number of other Casey players. Instead the BT kept playing injured & out of form players which eventually caught up with us & we were punished accordingly. -
Change to the Stand Rule Cracks Down on Fake Handballs

Yes very sensible move -
Bennell talking to a VFL Club about a return
Cranky Franky replied to cantstandyasam's topic in Melbourne Demons
Yep lets recruit a 30 year old who has been a poor role model, has history of misdemeanours & played 3 games in the last 5 years. Just what we need to take the club forward. -
I thought in 2022 we were a bit slow & needed more leg speed coming out of defence, up forward & across the centre. We then lost possibly the 3 quickest on our list Hunt, Bedford & Baker. Our drafting was mainly KP talls who have good potential but I'm worried our lack of pace could be a real problem in 2023.

Hawks racism allegations (merged thread)
Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Agree extremely serious stuff but only allegations at this stage. We havent heard the other side of the story. The size of the lynch mob is scary. -
Hawks racism allegations (merged thread)
Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
That is speculation & a shameful slur on the Club without a scrap of evidence. You shoud hang your head. -
My father & my father in law were both taken from their birth mothers (1920's & 1930's) one to an orphanage & one to foster parents. Both had crappy experiences which scarred them deeply. Seems if this happened to anglo kids its just standard operation but if you are Indigenous then you are part of a stolen generation - I don't see the difference.

He tries hard & maybe has shown steady improvement but he can't mark, kick or handball which may hamper his development somewhat.

Those suggesting drafting Bell are either totally clueless or have never seen him play.
-
Lets keep things in perspective. She inherited the job, had bucketloads of money she never worked for & lived a privileged life of luxury most of us can only dream of.
-
Of the top 8 sides our fwd set up is probably the worst. Our plan continues to be bomb it long & preferably to the pockets. Every other team manages to kick low to space. So who to blame ?

Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
Cranky Franky replied to Simon Port's topic in Melbourne Demons
Got that one badly wrong - was hoping we would recruit him at the time. Has had a poor year. -
Toby has a habit of snatching at the ball & spending it before he has control.
-
Not convinced about Toby. Quick, but just doesn't get enough of the ball.

Joel Smith set to sign new contract extension.
Cranky Franky replied to dazzledavey36's topic in Melbourne Demons
Spot on. He cant play more than 3 or 4 consecutive games. This has happened every year for 6 years or so. A list clogger - move him on. -
👏👏👏

Hird ??? Double standards here. Seems some people break the rules pay the penalty & its all ok Others break the rules, pay the penalty & then have to keep paying. I suppose you decide who gets to be forgiven & who doesn't.

Anger management - why I'm the most even tempered poster on Demonland. On re reading Paulos comment I do concede that I was wrong and he was not suggesting Howes be promoted.
