  • 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.

I think at this point, if people want to join in, just do so. The season starts in just over two weeks, so we are getting short on time. The regulars have had time to join up if they are interested.

I haven't done anything about draft order yet. Is everyone happy for me to take the list, randomise it three times and go from there?

Yes Pete....

Do whatever you need too... Draft order is not that important! I won the flag last season & had my first pick at 14.. Sometimes early picks are a curse..

From #4 to #9

At least the pressure will be off to be the first to select a ruckman!

:unsure:

Krazy let them take The Rucks.. We will just clean up with midfielders?

The draft snakes in reverse order so after round one the order doesn't really matter.

But OMR, the rucks are so important and I will be surprised if there are not at least 5 taken before my pick at # 9 

People underestimate the importance of Rucks in UF... :) He who picks the best Ruck generally wins the comp ^_^

Exactly.... Rucks are the most important selections ?

No point in selecting any power forwards ?

Power forwards are well overrated in UF, especially with how our scoring is set up... People should be looking more towards the defensive forwards who also play higher up the ground...

I shouldn't be giving away all the UF secrets to success but I want to see an even comp for all of us... Also the hard taggers (that don't tackle much but niggle) are worth their weight in gold as they can prevent your opponents high possession mids from having an impact... Load up people!

This inside info is crucial to your success ?

JCB makes some left field selection, he is every chance of nailing Jarrod Witts early. Fairly certain he will take Brent Stanton with his first round pick ?

Oooh... I forgot about Stanton! Might have to rethink my first pick! Between him and Wellingham I'm torn more than a box of tissues in a 2 year olds hands!

The pressure is mounting!

The banter will continue and only gain momentum... I can assure you of that... I may not have picked the strongest side (although happy with my team) but I am extremely confident in the fact that I will not shut up for the whole season :cool:

Let the games begin...

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
