Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Can someone please confirm for me:

Richmond and North Melbourne both have 4.5 wins. If they finnish on 4.5 wins do they get a PP after the first round or is the cut off 16 points? Are they still in contention for PP?

We play both these teams so the answer is very important.

No.

The line is 16.5 points.

Richmond and North both now have 18 points, so they are out of the running...

Which is GREAT. It bumps our 2nd round pick up by 2 places, increasing the chance of getting someone who has slipped through the cracks (... Butcher...)

Here are the possible scenarios:

1. Melbourne finishes the season with 16 premiership points or less. West Coast finishes with 16 premiership points or less.

Melbourne gets pick 1. West Coast gets pick 2. Pick 3 onwards is determined by ladder position, with 16th getting pick 3, 15th getting 4 and so on.

This is assuming Melbourne finishes below West Coast. If West Coast finishes below Melbourne then West Coast gets pick 1.

2. Melbourne finishes with 16 premiership points or less. West Coast finishes with more than 16 premiership points.

Melbourne gets pick 1. Pick 2 onwards is determined by ladder position.

3. Melbourne finishes with more than 16. West Coast finishes with 16 or less.

West Coast gets pick 1. Pick 2 onwards determined by ladder position.

4. Melbourne finishes with more than 16. West Coast finishes with more than 16.

Pick 1 goes to the team that finishes on the bottom. Pick 2 goes to 15th, etc.

Currently, Melbourne has 12 premiership points, West Coast has 16 premiership points.

Note that Fremantle can earn a PP at the end of the first round/beginning of the second round if they finish the year with 16 premiership points or less. If this happens, every team's second round pick (and subsequent picks) will be bumped back by 1 (i.e. from 18 to 19).

Richmond and North Melbourne are both on 18 premiership points. This means they no longer qualify for the PP at the end of the first round/start of the second round.

Wrong!

If melb finish with 4 wins or less and west coast finish with 4 wins or less then melb get picks 1 + 3 + 17 and west coast get picks 2 + 4 + 18

If melb win 4 or less and west coast win 5 or more then we get 1 and 2 and 17 and they get the pick relating to ladder position

morale of the story = we do not under any circumstances win 5 or more games

I don't know what he got wrong (nothing that I can see), but you have our second round pick wrong. 1. Melb, 2.WCE, 3.Melb, 4.WCE.....19.Melb, 20.WCE....

So once again, the best possible result for us is to not win another game. That knocks Freo out of the priority picks as well, maximizing our chances of picking up quality talent.

Freo won't get a PP before the draft, but after the first round.

To me, 1 and 3 is essentially 1 and 2 in this draft. There is one standout and about 4 or 5 even players.

I have a question: how exactly can a team end up with 16.5 premiership points?

Why have the .5 in there when it's simply not possible? Why can't they just say 16 points or 4 wins or less?

Yes, but that PP at the end of the first round still has an impact on our opportunities. Better to have them win one more and be right out of the picture.

In that example above, Freo didn't come into the equation. If they're the one team we beat, surely they could go the rest of the year winning nothing?

If Freo finish without another win, they get a PP at the end of the first round. I'd prefer that their second pick came after our second round pick. Just to be sure they don't pinch a good prospect from us.

They can't, unless the AFL were to penalise a team on 20 pts, 3.5pts for an indiscretion.

I remember the AFL stating at the time, it was to minimise confusion. :huh:

It wasn't an error at all. It is 16.5 points.

Much like the line in betting. Having the decimal removes any confusion because it is between whole numbers and the result can only be in whole numbers.

Therefore anything over 16 points, but not including 16 points.

Otherwise it'd be:

"so to get a priority pick do we have to have LESS than 16 points, or can we have 16 points but NO MORE than 16, or is it that can have 16 but we just can't have 20 cos that's 5 wins..?"

I fail to see why so many ppl are confused.

I though MFC supporters were supposed to be fairly well educated on the whole... I mean, we're not Collingwood for fu%&'s sake.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
