    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
