Cranky Franky

+ 1

Superior ruck work - you must be kidding 🤣 Sam's ruck work is woeful & at boundary throw ins he is probably the worst in the AFL.

I'd love to see them pick the best design over the last 5-10 years & stick with that permanently. Maybe they sell more by changing design every year.

Nah I only get cranky with the serial windbag, historical revisionists and chardonnay socialists that use Demonland to lecture to the rest of us.

Historical footnote. I was living in Darwin in the early 1980's & involved in the local footy. I wrote to the MFC to tell them that there were a lot of talented Aboriginal players in the NT & suggested that Melbourne should look at recruiting some of the local talent in particular the Rioli boys. Ray wrote back & thanked me for the info & said they were aware of the local talent pool & were monitoring things however nothing came of it.

Absolute revisionist BS. He was a $300,000 a year player getting paid $500,000 a year. If he had agreed to be paid what he was worth he probably could have stayed on. Apart from 2000 he was a completely average, ordinary player. Even Collingwood woke up & delisted him shortly after.

I don't have much sympathy for Shane. His management had us over a barrel because Jeff Farmer had left & leveraged a very fat contract for Shane who was a solid player who happened to have 1 great season. He was being paid way overs. If he'd agreed to be paid what he was worth he could have stayed at Melbourne. So if he was cranky with the Club who cares.

I reckon when we played the Crows on the 90s we got about 7000 there

Managed to carve out a decent career with 92 games. These days he heads up Comcar.

👍Yes a terrific guest to have on. Loved the way he talked over their interjections & attempts to take the mickey.

30 seconds of my life wasted. You don't need to post every time u have a fantasy about a former champion.

Is there any point to this post or are you just trying to re state the obvious ?

I've watched both games & Laurie has done nothing much at all. He is a long, long way from a debut on that form. Are you sure you've got the right player ?

I thought Dunstan should have done a lot more. Went ok but won't get a call up on that form.

Caribou are medium size unless you mean elk which are massive.

Posting this 2 rounds in with Casey playing 1 match suggests the only cull should be WERRIDEE.

Fully agree Hunt went ok last week.

Translation - Anybody who disagrees with me is a dill because I'm (probably) the smartest & most virtuous person here.

If you don't think the statement is incoherent you should go back & do primary school English grammar.

Given the disruptions to the backline last week I reckon they both did ok.

The statement is somewhat incoherent. It could be very racist or not. Unless you have the full context ie what was said before & after its impossible to judge.

The issue you continually ignore is that powerful organisations like Clubs & the AFL want to manage media stories & only ever want positive stories. As long as journos tell the truth its fine by me. If Collingwood supporters had been better informed about what was happening at their Club instead of what Eddie McGuire had wanted them to hear then the Club may not have imploded when it did.

Can't believe that you are actually supporting a grub like Bevo after his despicable comments including about Morris being a Melbourne "stooge". Ironically even Bevo disagrees with you because he issued an apology. You are also forgetting Bevo has form - he attacked Kane Cornes & others for their comments last year & famously threatened Damian Barrett in 2015.

Where's the left bingo card with White privilege Affirmative Action Glass ceiling Reflect on your comments Metrics Diversity Gender Imbalance Etc etc. If you start with right wing nutters you end up with Hitler & if you start with lefty or progressive nutters you end up with Pol Pot. Not much difference really. Good to see Demonland is an Equal Opportunity Forum.
