  • 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.

this is a synopsis of views that the footy. dept. have on board with a view to achieve the ultimate prize.

from ?(dont want to dob him in)so dont ask!

at one of his meet and greets.with a white board explanation.

for members to understand the thought process with view to patience needed.

That since the draft has been in effect;

1.the average no. of games per player in every successful premiership team has been " 126 games"

2. successful premiership teams players have came from ;approx (forgot exact figure) 60% to 70%"

" 1ST ROUND DRAFT PICKS !!

with the obvious exception of a few freak great players picked up later in draft.

ie; hird , selwood etc.

ipso facto- the rest of teams made up of 30% from later rounds-rookie-trades.etc.

this is a history fact..

NOW knowing this,getting game time into m.f.c. young players is paramount. with the knowledge that it will take till 2012- to 2013 to get the required games into these kids before a hopeful result can be achieved.

he then proceeded to make a positional board,who? we would expect from current and future players.

without going into the possible 22 .by 2013 . as probable suspects of young kids in expected positions is obvious.

garland .bennel.( AUSSIE.W- big opinion of)-bartram -MORTON( who is a picky eater apparently and as such why he is still thin.) mckenzie-strauss -blease-watts-jurrah. etc.

older players not included as unknown if or what circumstances permitting.

and that understanding the possible % error rate of 25%..

The most interesting is the centre position & wing.

Put down as "draft pick no1"? & "draft pick no2 ?"

1st pick is a given as he is considered as another " cj " incarnate..(no matter who has 1st pick he WILL be no.1...incl wa. teams.

my guess for no 2?

no names were mentioned but for what it is worth-my take only.

so for No 2 r we looking at "trengove"(racks up disposals for sturt) or possibly "garry rohan( speed & cooney esque.)" ??? but again nothing was stated..

although morabito came up as possible top pick for wa teams ??

one to ponder and pontificate.with the added comment of a few sleepless nights for c.c.coming up.

prendergast chooses picks and bailey the trades..

each r ready made and "EXPERIANCE " IS INVALUABLE.

take it as u will. !!

my personal thought, that would'nt it be nice to put a couple of "C" TEAMS back amongst the ruck next year !

especially the one with the "messiah" and his disciple. .which is which ??

If this is Solid Fact, then i can Relax a little, & I hope all the persons out there who want to win these last few games-READ THIS CAREFULLY...

Thanks for the Post.

This is really the only interesting bit. Scully is a lock and you're surmising Trengove or Rohan. Don't discount Morabito, as he's a born wingman.

At least Gary Rohan is rated highly.

He would be an excellent second choice, given

that we don't win more than four games.

Star quality.

Saw him at the championships. He finished off a few

tackles like Sylvia does; he meant business.

1st pick is a given as cj incarnate..

Saw this about 2/3rds down. I thought for a time that you meant the OTHER CJ running around for the blues.

Was VERY confused.

Sure is the interesting bit. Those 4 names mentioned. Would be delighted with two of them, Scully of course being a must.

Now, about the grammar...

I think you and others are misinterpreting Fuschia. The names Trengove and Rohan weren't referred to by the Demon official, hence Fuschia stating "not named" after his reference to them. It was merely Fuschia surmising that they would be the types to be in the mix.

That said, I understand the confusion.

60% of 22 is 13.

I think Hawthorn had 10 in last year's flag side (incl Croad)

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl...4-19742,00.html

I think we currently have 14 12 on the list (some won't make it) and hopefully 2 more to come this year:

Jones, Watts, McLean, Bate, Frawley, Morton, Sylvia, Dunn, Grimes, Bell, Moloney (first round trade), Meesen (originally 1st rounder), Blease, Strauss.

Made a correction - Blease & Strauss not 1st rounders

Also maybe not fair to count both Moloney and Meesen

Hmmm. I'm confused again. Which CJ did you mean?

Chris Johnson or Chris Judd?

I hope it was the latter.

When I said the "other" CJ running around for the blues, I meant Johnson.

    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,
