  • 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.

Melbourne off the bottom by 10pm tonight?

It doesn't really matter that much...as long as we win less than 5 games, that means we get pick 2, 18 and 21, as opposed to 1, 17 and 20.

In this years draft there seem to be 3 genuine contenders for the number 1 draft pick (as was in 2001).

1 is a KPP (Watts), 1 a ruckman (Naita) and 1 a midfielder (Rich)/ So either way, pick 2 we will get 1 of these 3 which we will all be happy with.

As for the consequences in the PSD of coming second, i highly doubt WCE will pick up Warnock in the PSD considering they have Cox and Seaby.

Seaby is a quality young ruckman who is playing a lot of footy in the WAFL because WetToast dont have room for him. they dont need ruckman, they will most likely look for a player like Prismall... which leave Warnock open to us anyways

Warnock wants to return to Melbourne so WC aren't going to pick him. I'd say we'll trade him for a 3rd round pick and then grab Primsall in the PSD

'sylvinator', if we win as many as 4 wins & a draw, then we will miss the priority pick....(16.5 pts = not more than 4 wins)

that's true...

neways... about the idea of getting Prismall PSD and offering 2nd rounder for Warnock (pick 21)... i like the sound of that.

However if we don't come 16th then all plans go out then window bc westcoast will have first crack at any uncontracted player.

They will then most likely pick up Prismall if he nominates...

Damn you West Coast for getting a goal on the Siren and getting .34% for your rubbish franchise to be .12% ahead of us.

The Dees need to win or loose by a slim Margin to bring justice by the rounds end. I think we need to make sure we don't finish with the Spoon just for the mental damage of being part of a team that finishes last when the list is so young. I think we need to play for Watts in the Draft and forget about Warnock as well, unless West Coast are willing to give him to us for a couple of packets of Strapping Tape and a 6 Month Subscription to The Age.

Don't underestimate what MacGyver could do with a wooden spoon, a newspaper and some tape. The guy could probably win a Premiership with it. Particularly with a couple of good draft picks.

Haha, good call. If we had MacGyver in the Ruck and our current list, I think we could go places in a short space of time.

Ooooh. Nearly.

.12? So if we lost by 5 goals or so our percentage would improve JUST enough to pip them.

First half of the season we were easily the worst side in the comp. Now we're almost out of the bottom 4 on current form.

Wouldn't it be nice to rebuild and have a crack at a flag WITHOUT winning a wooden spoon?

Very topical bub...

Would you believe by 10pm Sunday night chief? B)

PS: The Eagles in their current format have to be the best club for any young player to make his AFL debut against. Just ask Brad Dalziell who got 32 touches for the Lions last night at the Gabba.

On that basis, I would suggest to the MFC selectors that they keep Saturday 16 August free for the debuts of Jack Grimes, Addam Maric, Tom McNamara, Kyle Cheney, Jake Spencer and Trent Zomer as well as for the triumphant return of Isaac Weetra and the farewell game for Benny Holland if he recovers in time from that shoulder injury.

    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,
