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.

So true.

 

I do wonder if they will trade 23 and 2019 1st rounder to move up order. Seems this draft will see some great player drop through so maybe not a consideration.

Still have big tickets on Jordan Clark , would be good to grab him as an understudy to Hibbard. 

Looking forward to tomorrow, not as much as in the past 7-10 years. That maybe due to the fact we made the final this year. 

God just remembered we did that without Lever in the back line too. Shite, if weeds and tmac hit their straps and petracca gets a rocket we could be one frightening team! Definitely flying over for the first game next year. And the last game of the AFL final series!

I'm definitely good with the idea of trading a 2019 first rounder for a late-ish 2018 (say mid teens) and possible swap of our pick 28 to enable us to potentially pick 3 players before bidding for Toby Bedford. Not sure if this can be arranged but it would definitely add interest for tomorrow night/Friday morning.

One additional reason to trade out next years 1st round for this years draft is that from next year we may be looking at trades for some players in which we will require an early pick for.

Im only thinking that if things are going very well from next year, we will encounter salary cap issues along the way.

Or simply our  2019 1st Rnd pick, for a late 2018 1st Rnd pick, and maybe  some small change... keeping our P28.   Some clubs with many early picks, might like to spread them out, entering the 2019 draft, with extra's ?

How about GWS’ pick 11 and 52, for pick 23 and next years 1st rounder?

That's interesting, you mentioned GWS's P-11... as i browsed the draft order last night, and imagined P-11 as being dee-sirable, and maybe getable ??

Now you post this.  Its like a sort of dejavue for moi.

Does anyone think we might package up picks 23 & 28 for an early-mid teens pick during tomorrow nights draft?

I think we need 2 or 3... U-18's introduced onto our list...  to follow thru behind our young guns, of Viney Oliver Angus, etc.

I'd be starting to form that second wave of newbies, as I've stated before earlier in the season... to come on behind our new breed.

And coincidentally, just as Jason Taylor has just indicated on the Demons website... needless to say, I do like the way JT operates.

 

I think we're in great hands, between him and Viney Snr.

GWS give us they're 2018  P-11...  & they're 2019 2nd Rnd pick.

D's give GWS our 2019 1st Rnd pick...  & our 2018 P-28... & our 2019 3rd Rnd pick

After the first round I believe the discount becomes 197 draft points

So pick 54 can match any pick up to 41 straight up.

Adding in pick 61 allows up to match any pick up until 34.

Sydney have 26, 33, 38, 39, 40 most of which will be swallowed up by 1 player.

North have 42, 47, 48, 49 and 58 most of which will be used on 2 players.

Collingwood have 41, 44, 57, 59 and 60 to use on 2 players.

Pick 54 and 62 will likely end up as something like pick 48 and 53. When added to a discount that's enough to match pick 26

wow you are unbelievable

Not a great result for us. Taylor said we wanted mids, but the quality mids expected to be around our pick all got snapped up last night. Was really hoping for O’Halloran. Seemed a very Melbourne person; competitive, leader, ball winner, explosive, hit scoreboard. GWS got a winner there.

Bytel might be one of our picks now?

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
