  • 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.

Could theoretically work in our favour. For example, 2018 pick 28 and 2019 MFC 1st rounder for a 2018 top 10 pick. Some big talent in this this year's top 10. A club with no 1st rounder in 2019 might want to get back in there to fit into the '2 x 1st rounders in any 4 years' rule.

Or maybe I'm just overthinking it...

Not overthinking. It might work if we did, say 2019 first rounder and 28 for say a pick 12 to 14 and early to mid 30s. This would give us a current first rounder, an early second rounder and a possible third pick before having to bid for Toby Bedford.

The number of spots we need to fill might also influence a move like this. Then there's leaving a place for a mid season draft pick up, if that's in the club's vision.

I'm all for Jason Taylor getting us into the top 10 or close to if he can. There's every chance Corey Wagner will be added to the list December 1 under the new SPP rules which reduces space by 1.

Sounds like it. He's pulled out of the draft, so signed by someone!

I'm struggling with the story, particularly as the first sentence states "...due to the [AFL's] strict rules and regulations". Since when did the AFL ever have "strict rules and regulations"? I thought the whole idea was to have a fluid set of rules which could be bent whenever it is deemed necessary by Gil, Hocking and the whole Commission.

With Wagner now added to the list, I'll put my left one on the line and say we have something arranged to trade back into the 1st round on the night.

Might happen, but I think your left nut should be very nervous mate

This is such a bad rule.

I like that every club has to have 3 national draft picks a year to make sure they bring in young talent.

I like the rule requiring 2 first round draft picks in 4 years, even with the vague notion that the AFL can allow teams to break it with permission.

That's enough restrictions. If a team wants to trade 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks from a future draft then let them. Particularly if they are using those picks to move up in the current draft and bring talent in.

The AFL have brought in trading and tried to spice up the draft, it's not only a fun idea but it's good for clubs as well. Teams can back themselves and pay the price for a certain player and bottom teams can get full return for their valuable picks if trading down. Silly to add a protection that restricts top teams from making bold decisions.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
