  • 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'm not sure how you can gather that from my comment :o

No I gathered that from what I thought was your vote - which was rather quick after i first posted...

I shouldn't assume this...but your secret is safe.....unless you either plan on putting davey on the bench, emergency or are considering trading him?

Forwards:

talls: Miller, Newton, (PJ resting ruck?)

mobiles: Bate, Sylvia, Robbo

Smalls: Wonaeamirri, Davey, Maric

Garland for me, could be the surprise packet. if we continue to develop 4 other key defenders (Martin, Frawley, Rivers and Warnock), it would be well worth giving Garland a go in the forward line. hes so quick, agile and versatile that it could pay off big time...

Love the idea High Tower, just wondering how you plan to manage the problem that certain players can play in several positions - Davey is the best example as in different people's eyes he could be back, forward or mid... which might mean he misses out on all three

Bruce will probably not make your 22 but I imagine most of us would have him in for 2008

Not a criticism just a question :)

Like your thoughts on Garland. Garland did drift down to the forward line against Richmond. Kicked a goal. maybe we might see a bit more of him down there this week, courtesy of Bailey. We could see this next year when Rivers is back in.

The 7th most voted defender on Demonland was in fact Frawley.

Have a vote for the last remaining four spots, and include seven - four on the 'int' and three on the bench.

;) Someone's on the ball...!

Cheers.

Well, Schtaker match committee selectors have tough decisions to make...........so now you guys are in their shoes.

The players that end up missing the interchange or emergencies don't necessarily have to be considered "dee-listed" ;) , just pretend they didn't make your side and they're playing at Sandy, or in next years case Casey! :lol:

edit: didn't make sense...

yes but that may still well result in Davey on the bench or emergency when he is clearly best 18

midfield is going to be a tough one which makes me happy

Schtaker, we'll manage it no problem. As long as the votes keep pouring in, it will sort itself out. It may also mean Davey in the starting 18!

For example, the 7th highest voted defender is Frawley, so he might get named on the bench......once the 6 forwards are settled, the midfielders will be done, then the players that miss each section will be pooled and the bench will be voted on out of 7, as Rogue said, the 3 left over will be the emergencies.

Davey Miller Bate

Wona Robbo other

The other being Watts (or whomever we draft as a forward). If he (draftee) is too raw, then put Sylvia there. Newton is gone. Useless IMO

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
