Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Do the MFC get 2 first rounders for compensation? Will they be 2 end of first round mid first round?

Would the team with pick 1 in the 2012 draft consider trading 3 first round picks for the number one pick and MFC pick up Jack Viney with it's second round pick?

One mid first round and one pick immediately after MFC's first-round pick.

Interesting. We may be after an under 17 pick from GWS though.

According to Channel 10 sport, the AFL just announced we will get 2 first rounders as compensation. Um, 1 and 2 please.

Just heard this myself- good news --now it is up to B.P to gain best recruits once again.

Let's tank and get pick 1 again.

Because number 1 is a guaranteed keeper... wait, what?

Haven't we learnt anything?

If we tank again, we are done. We will be the undisputed joke of the competition- and it will be deserved!

Any teams want to trade an experienced leader for two high draft picks in a compromised draft?

The club has immense potential to bring in someone considerable. Look at teams like Freo, St. Kilda, Doggies. We can fill some current voids on our side with experienced players.

+ Ross Lyon = flag within 3 years.

Do it Dees.

So if we say finish 8th next year what picks would we get?

Assuming no other team activates their own compensation picks, and Gold Coast don't get a PP:

- Pick 11 (mid first rd pick compo)

- Pick 12 (for finishing 8th)

- Pick 13 (first rd pick compo which comes after our 1st pick)

Think this is how it works, assuming mid first rd pick comes after all other team's picks who don't make finals...

I'd like to suggest we go harder @ the AFL demanding we get better, the first pick of 2012 to replace our priority pick, + another

You know the Blues & the Pies would, as did the Cats.

Confirmed on AFL Website two first round picks we will come out the winner here, provided we use them wisely. We must leave them to 2012 though.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/123357/default.aspx

If we finish near the bottom next year, which I expect we will, we could finish up with, say pick 3 & 4 or picks 4 & 5 plus a pick at the end of the first round in 2012. That would be harder to predict as other clubs will be using their delayed compo picks in that year. But if the draft is as good as is expected we could have three top picks in the top 20, not sure if we will have to use one on Jack Viney but if we do it will be the last one in the first round, if not we get him as well.

You little beauty.

Hope MFC gets aggressive with these compo picks but remember that they can be used anytime within the next 5 years, therefore won't necessarily have to be used in a compromised draft.

Looks like any club with a comp pick will probably look to use in next year, though, as is meant to be a bumper draft. This in itself could devalue them if WB, Ade, Fre, Gee, GC etc all look to use their compo picks in the same 2012 draft.

I like the idea of keeping one for 2012 but looking to trade another to either bring in an experienced mid, or get our hands on a pick in the mini-draft (probably accompanied by a player).

Tom who? Seriously, forgotten about the kid already. As I'm sure most here have now.

do the doggie supporters feel duped now? compo for us was had to be bigger- given the #1 tag that accompanied the forgotten man. What did doggies get for Ward?

Cameron Schwab seems to reckon we will get compensation picks for "What's his face" that are along the the lines of what the Cats got for Gary Ablett - Hope he's right - thought he was quite impressive at the Melbourne press conferance btw - Our Club has shown a lot of class throughout this whole sorry saga and I'm quite proud of how we've handled it .

We were in a no win situation for most of the year and right at the end we could come out way on top esp if "Prima Donna Tom" has a shortened career due to his degenerative knee - I'll bet any money he reads these threads so we should let him have it !

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
