  • 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.

With it now looking a shoe in that we will receive pick 1 in the PSD the question is who will we take with that pick? I know it's difficult to say as we don't yet know who will be available, but with talk around players like Boak, Lake, Hodge etc.... There could be anyone, so who do we think we will take and who will be available?

Personally I think we might take Alex Silvagni in the PSD from Casey. Biggest name that will be available I reckon will be Haselby who Richmond will take at pick 3.

Everyone elses thoughts?

As per basically every year, the chances of those players actually slipping through to the PSD is negligible. I think Nick Stevens is probably the only player of any merit that has made it to the PSD of recent times (prove me wrong someone).

Not that he turned out any good but Jade Rawlings was highly regarded entering the PSD. The end result didn't justify the hype mind you.

Since Stevens there's only been a handful:

Mahoney

Porplyzia

Mal Michael

Welsh

Martin

Cousins

Jurrah

We've done surprising well over the last couple of years

How old is Silvagni? How tall etc? The few times i've seen him play he seems a little undersized for the roles he's playing.

What about Wall? I've seen nothing of him at all, but he's generally in the best each week and seems to be pretty dominant at VFL level. Our ruck stocks are not great at the moment and according to some could be getting worse after trade week. Is he worth a look?

Silvagni's 192cm, 92kg and 22 years old. Can play forward and back and is in Casey's best most weeks. I reckon both Valenti and Spencer will be promoted off our rookie list also. Although none of them are probably in our best 22, think they'll all be players capable of making an impact at some stage next year.

James Wall 198cm 90kg 22 yo.

Ruck

He's been around a few clubs but he seems to be pretty good at VFL level. Anyone actually seen him play? Is he worth consideration?

Seen him but haven't taken much notice of him. Times I've watched him hasn't done anything to catch my eye, but at the same time hasn't done anything to make me think he's no good. Honest player IMO.

Maybe they have worked out after years of injury he's gone as an AFL footballer.

I watched him in the Casey- Coburg game and he looked slow and with no impact.

Anyway Richmond are idiots without that.

    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,
