  • 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.


Who will we take with Pick 2?

Who do you think Melbourne should get for their second pick?

Obviously Scully with number 1 but I think we should get Butcher with two.

We need another big forward then it could be like Reiwoldt and Koschitzke from the Saints!

MFC at this point in time is set to take Scully and Trengove as their first 2 picks. Something extraordinary would have to happy to change this current position

Pfft! Nobody is allowed to have an opinion that doesn't match the "million poster" brigade. This isn't a forum. This is a kinder playground where you have to be in with the cool kids or you will be insulted and teased. I long for the day that I have 38,000+ posts so that one of the old timers will lean over and say "Son, you've made it. You are one of us that has an opinion on everything and as a sign of your manhood we will reply to a post of yours without being patronising bastards."

*Apols to the people who post often and politely (you know who you are) and no apols to the others (you know who you are).

On topic - Dustin Martin is well worth a look. Good on both feet so a good draft camp showing should put him right in the mix.

I'd be interested to know your source of confidential information sylvinator. I don't think we've seen this option put forward before.

Loosen up. Demons are Hell I'm sure will be 'fast-tracked' after this.

can't reveal source for obvious reasons.... but it is a source from an important employee within the club

It is almost certain to be Scully and Trengove pick 1 and 2.

obviously draft camp can always change things but unlikely

ahhhh the old "I've got an inside source chestnut" ... thanks for that.

Can I suggest your so called "inside source" is doing the club an injustice to suggest the decisions have already been made! ...

Especially prior to completion of TAC finals & Draft camp testing & interviews.

Tooooooo much water to still go under the bridge ...

Hmmm. My sauce is a bit older (has been sitting on the shelf for a while) but I heard it's Mora...

No. They really don't. Some of the jerks on this site genuinely believe they're doing MFC a favour by making themselves seem like big men, coming on here and bashing kids and new fans for not being as obsessed as they are. Funny really, when they're actually doing the opposite. To be honest though, there's nothing wrong with the first few replies. Nothing wrong a with a bit of humour.

I think he'll go top ten. He looks pretty good though, has all the gifts.

Would be silly not to take Trengove has no apparent fawles. Unless someone can share with me what they are. Also a goal kicking midfielder which is something Scully doesn't do often enough. Would compliment each other quite nicley

What the hell does this mean?

Aside from one or two, all this place asks is that whatever inane things people say, they back it up with a decent argument.

If you would like to be patronised and insulted - go to Demonology.

Otherwise, quit with the gratuitous preciousness.

Don't hold your breath, I've been around for so long I'm now part of the furniture but I still get flamed!!

Seriously though I know someone at a Richmond website and there's is much more of a family environment where everyones opinions, while not always highly valued but are definitely not ridiculed. I have my opinions on why this place can be so abrasive and have previously voiced them but got no where so I just gave up.

On topic - Martin is definitely worth a look, as is Rohan and Lucas. We shouldn't make our decision untill after the draft camp.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with letting it be known that I find it painful to see ANOTHER thread dedicated to who will be picked 2nd.

I didn't make a personal attack and I don't think I'm doing MFC any favours - just myself cos I don't want to see the forum cluttered with repetitive posts.

A little research before posting never goes astray.

I'm sure I'm guilty of the same thing at some stage, but I've got nothing against someone letting me know I'm covering old ground.

So, uh.. I think Bruce is crap. And Morton can't kick. And 192cm players are useless.

Did anyone hear that Yze Magic is going to get drafted? Wow. Who knew he could actually play and really does know what he's talking about..?

etc. etc. ad nauseum

Alot of people talk about Draft Camp. I know its important but really is it going to change the minds of people? Someone getting tested and someone playing is a totally different thing. I would rather someone that could put there head over the ball, hit targets under game type pressure and make good decisions on the GROUND rather then knowing what there hand spand is and how quick they are at pressing buttons on a flashing board.

I think it could if a player tests poorly, or if a player like Dustin Martin generally considered one-paced manages to show excellent results for pace and agility.

The kicking drill testing this year will make a difference too, I think.

Not long now before some sort of decision-making and handballing drills get introduced as tests.

HT? but...but......butttt what about me :(

You're already in. Check your papers.... ;)

Seriously, there is nothing wrong with a bit of light hearted banter Rojik. And if you think there is a group of 'cool kids' in the playground - it's your imagination.

The only cool kid is 45h.....because he's dumped Whelan for Grimes. :D

This isn't a dig at all but i believe even if you test as a fast runner doesn't mean its going to translate on a football field. Have a look at Kane Tenace. They said with the right training he could have ran in the 100m competitively on the footy field he is a slug. Don't get me wrong i love this kid and i have all the faith in him but i dont think Jack Watts will ever translate his speed onto the footy field

Your right HT, there is nothing wrong with a bit of banter and good fun but it's obvious Rojik is not referring to banter.

    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,
