  • 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.

The last time we had 2 picks in the top 5 was Sylvia and Mclean.

Gee,i'm so glad we got both of them,6 years later and look where we are!!!

Where would our list be if we only got one of them???

I hope you're young Jack, because that is a very unintelligent analogy. In fact, if you truncate the last word of my last sentence you'll get a better idea of what I think of it.

This poll needs three options.

1 - Melbourne

2 - Sydney

3 - Melbourne 2010 onwards

I didn't enjoy the last quarter. Like I said in another thread, my heart and gut were pumping "win win win" but my mind was saying "no no no."

I fear I may develop a Multiple Personality Disorder over the next 5 weeks.

Edit - I didn't vote in the poll.

"I developed one of those Years ago from watching the DEES get belted year after year, <_< no 2 personalities :angry: , no one :P , listen it's 2 i'm telling you <_< . Are you never listen." :mellow::blink:

I felt horrible. We drove all the way to the ACT to watch a match I hoped we would lose. I know the importance of the PP and in particular one, Tom Scully. I don't want mediocrity, I want premiership success. The picks are huge incentives.

You might want to learn how to use a spacebar.

And we have lost 50 games since 2007 so the players should stick to what they are good at for 4 out of the last 5 weeks and be damn grateful of the opportunity to pull on that jumper AND get paid for it.

Jack7, respect to you for standing up for what you believe in. But... i guess all i can really say is: WOW. I can't believe some people are still thinking this way.

Generally speaking, winning is all there is. Everyone knows that. But not winning just any meaningless battle, but winning the WAR. Winning the Premiership, that is.

If you've been down as long as we have, the reward for losing is so much greater than the hollowness of winning just another dead-rubber. Strange as it may seem to some, but a win is counter-productive to the rebuilding process, which we've all suffered through these last 2-3 years. Blame it on the system if you will, but those are the cards we've been dealt, and it's up to the football department now to take advantage of this system while it's available to us.

Of course the players want to win, no-one is denying that. I wouldn't expect anything less of them. But again, strange as it may seem, it's not completely up to the players. I'm sure the FD want the PP. Why wouldn't they? It will help us go a long way towards winning the war, ie. the Premiership, in the future. So forget the little battles and have a look at the big picture.

If you can't see the benefit of winning 4 games this year as opposed to 5 or 6, you really are deluded. (Apologies to dee-luded :P)

I really think it would be handy if every demonlander voted on this, how many members have we got on here? Then we can email the AFL to show what this priority pick is doing to our supporters.

I was barracking for the Dees of course.

It would be impossible for me not to, in the moment watching a match.

But in the aftermath I was happy we lost, of course.

It would be non-sensical to think we would prefer to win two more games this year.

You don't get it, it's not the priority pick thats causing this disatisfaction/frustration/desperation, its the past poor management of the club & list. Thats why were so desparate.

If we were in Sydneys position of a recent Premiership & finals appearences, I dare say we wouldn't be chasing early picks as hard.

Winning a flag is everything, you grubbly little fellow. Of course the players play to win every time they pull on a boot. I don't even want the Coach to compromise himself too much on match day. It's about making strategic decisions prior to the game with the best interests of the club's future in mind, i.e the best chance to win that very elusive flag. As it is, we'll need everything in the universe lining up perfectly for it to happen.

And it's not just about the pp. If we miss a pp, we'll also miss Scully. And Scully is the best chance this club has had to get a star mid in 35 years. Two more meaningless wins will ensure that we get 'more of the same'. But at least you'll be happy, eh genius ?

Argh! Why are you all of a sudden called Hannibal? Change it back!

In answer to the question, I don't think either of the answers really cover how I was feeling at the time. I was hoping they'd play well and still not win, and still felt my typical hatred of the opposing team, so I suppose you'd say Melbourne. I find the thought of actually barracking for the opposition sickening.

It's amazing how different it looks ! But I'm going to try to get used to it.

Without trying to bore you - despite some that don't believe me, I do have a female staffy x bully named Hannabal, in fact her dog collar says "Hannabull" - my wife's spelling :lol: When I signed up to the original Demonland, which I think was aimoo or something back in 2002, Hannibal was already taken, therefore I went with Hannabal.

I've decided that I'll change my BF name from Trav 20 to H... and thought that I may as well make the change to what I originally intended. But it may be taken on BF anyway.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
