  • 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.

Should we trade pick 11? What happens if the draft is a dud?

This topic is a what if? What happens if our draft picks don't cut the mustard at AFL level. No I'm not talking about their first years in football as I'm well aware that these kids can take time to develop. However, as we all know, there have been some number 1 draft pick flops in the past. I'm just curious to know what people think about what we should do with pick 11. Considering if we go with all kids and don't entertain the idea of possibly putting our 11th pick on the table, who knows what we may get for it.

1. Tom Scully

2. Jack Trengove

11. Nathan Vardy

18. Jake Carlisle or Matthew Panos

Two midfielders, a ruckman and a KPF. Covering all of the areas we need. No need to trade.

What happens if the kid we take at 11 is a dud?

We get back in the DeLorean, go back in time, and not make this trade...

Pretty simple really.

Think outside the box, people.

Forget Jack Watts, I need 1.21 Giga Watts...

I wonder if they're related?

When mumma megawatts loves papa gigga watts very much they produce little Jacky Watts.

The easiest way is just to not draft a spud. Simple.

Steering clear of all vegetables, would be a good start.

Taters are expensive with the drought and all.

Although, I am partial to Blueberries.

Not in season though. They'll be hothouse blueberries. Still worth it.

McLean for hothouse blueberries.

I can't help but feel I have gone off-track...

I used to like banannas.

I don't now. But they were expensive for a while. Do you think that'd be a good pick up?

Nah, they shed their skins pretty readily, and then they become a hazard.

Blueberries are just there, no mess, no fuss.

Bananas are high maintenance. In it for themselves.

Give him to a Chinese person to fry and it might change the equation.

But without the Chinese person thrown in - no dice.

I fully expect us to make a huge play for someone like Anjes Everitt, with our unexpected windfall.

Sorted - though I hear Matt Hayden is pretty good on the BBQ. Hayden at 11, a banana at 50. Looks like we'll need that pick after all.

I feel like our conversations are invaluable to this forum.

This place would melt down if it weren't for the few seconds of levity the villagers get from our pointless and inane rantings.

It's a public service, really.

We suck it up. What else can we do? Drafting is a big bloody lottery anyway so we just roll the dice and hope we get a couple of good 'uns.

    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,
