  1. So if kids can access demonland I wonder what other kinds of websites they can look at? Get off the mods backs they don't get paid for their time. At times people get on have a rant then that's the end of it. People step over the line and serve their time. If you think what has been written here is worse than what kids are exposed to through the school yard/advertising/movies/web sites ect I would suggest you get outside a bit more. For every poster having a dig at Saty there are ten thanking him for his efforts. Posters have ability to ignore other posters if they choose. One difference a forum like this has as opposed to FB is that everyone can remain anominous unless you choose to put yourself out there. I as many others do live interstate and am grateful for the services Demonland provides.
  2. It begs the question why Grimes is still there then. Garland chose to concentrate on his footy. Can only assume he removed himself from being voted for. Debate raged yesterday in a training thread about certain peoples sudden ability to dispose of the footy. No excuses for anyone this year.
  3. Glad we've moved away from co captains. Grimes lives or dies this year on football ability alone.
  4. Take the southern cross off.....leave it on......not fussed either way but the cow and sheep......clever doesn't come to mind for me.
  5. Last night watching the tennis at the bottom of the base line was the word Melbourne with the letters boxed. I've seen it done like that on various tourism paraphanilia. It doesn't say "city of melbourne" because there's no need, Melbourne is identifiable enough by itself. I was under the impression we went from being the Demons to the Melbourne Demons a few years back in fear of relocation. I'm tired of hearing this is how the soccer does it, or this is how the NFL does it. Wasnt there a study done a few years ago that said per capita AFL had the 4th biggest crowd attendances in the world. Our next tv rights deal is tipped to be over a billion dollars. Anyone that matters is this game from the ceo's of the corporates or the clubs through to the coaches, players, members, supporters and right down to my daughter who reserves her right to pick her own team to follow and to have no real interest in football at the moment knows us as the Melbourne Demons/Dees and knows that we're been crap for years. And when we rise again and we will, we will still be the Melbourne Demons or the Dees. There is no identity crisis. I own a 2014 training shirt and polo, the emblem is fine, Im not sure what the issue is.
  6. Note one has a cow and a sheep on it, I don't follow soccer at all so could someone please explain the relevance. We don't need city in our name as we already have "Melbourne" in it. Melbourne is enough in its own right.When you say nightmare to reproduce, how so? I dont get why your reproducing it?
  7. Just stand at a busy intersection in the city waiting for the lights and say "tindering 1 metre" the response from woman is priceless.
  8. I like the idea of a demon shop in the city. Not sure what's wrong with the logo....I may have missed something. I don't like the idea of the Melbourne "city" Demons. Free clappers....? I would have thought that the AFL and the home team have numerous activitys on offer for the kids everything from face painting, photo opportunities to kicking and handball comps. As an adult my match day experience consists of a meal at the Waterside followed by some friendly banter on the tram then catching up with mates I only get to see at our home games. As has been mentioned before regular wins followed by finals will increase the match day experience.
  9. He did slacken off for a few games in the second half of the season but overall I think he stood up and did what Roos asked of him. As for your 8 I don't see why Jones, Tyson, Cross, Viney, Dunn, Jetta, Tmac, H, Howe, Garland and Vince can't all have solid years and the two who frustrate the hell out of me Dawes and Watts. I believe we will shoot up the ladder this year. I enjoy reading your opinions Macca.
  10. Dunn**......?I thought Dunn was bloody brilliant last year.
  11. 11 games last year we led in the last qtr, twice against Port. I don't recall Clark influencing too many games last year. Our younger players are a year older, learning the gameplan is no longer an excuse. It starts now.
  12. I was editing my post as you were replying DC.I think yes and no, no because onfield results is what's considered to be the true test but yes because we've been able to get the likes of both Goodwin and McCartney who both would have had other offers and plan to be here after Roos goes.
  13. Jackson would have done numerous things for this club that most of us including me would have no idea of what they were. But thing I would bet on would be if not for Jackson Roos wouldn't even be at the club, an extension of that would be McCartney. Does he plan on leaving in two years when Roos does or is going to hang around because of the changes that are making us a better club.
  14. What did we pay for Viney and Stretch? What if Selwood was already picked? Eagles have some father sons on the way and there's no guarantees all father sons will be gun players.
  15. Great idea, and as some have already alluded to leave the father/son alone. It all evens itself out.
  16. I thought he was going to be our Chapman and Trengove our Bartell.
  17. JETTA FROST DUNN H MCDONALD GARLAND VINCE JONES WATTS KENT PEDO HOWE GAWN HOGAN GARLETT JAMAR TYSON CROSS VINEY NEWTON SALEM TOUMPAS Thought it was time to revisit this after reading recent training reports. Not sure how Howe plays down back if everyone is up and about but if we are playing two rucks I'm thinking were s bit too top heavy. Going to interesting to see what happens if everyone is fit. I will get laughed at for this but another option would be drop Howe, Vince to the HFF, Newton or Salem to the wing and Petracca to the bench.
  18. As long as Cross was one of them I don't care who the other two are.
  19. For what has been an unsuccessful period at least we've had some entertaining forwards - Robertson, Howe, Jurrah, Farmer......seen some great marks taken.
  20. Because Watts covers his teammates backs? At times he can't even man up his opponent. We know about his elite kicking and vision and yes he's an outside player but even outside players have to win their own ball on occasions, not all the time hence "outside" but every now and again wouldn't hurt. I gave an example a couple of weeks back. Loose ball 3 in pursuit, melbourne 2 on 1, Watts was in prime position to grab the ball and accelerate away from contest, but he hung back for fear of being tackled waited for his teammate in a worse position to win ball and pass it out to him only for teammate to win ball and be tackled forcing a ball up and allowing everyone to flood back. But I supose like everyone you take the good with the bad.
