  • 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.

5 Years in the Future....How the 2015 Team might look?

So we are gonna recruit pretty poorly in the next 5 years?

What a funny thread.

I think we have the answer to the above question. Thank Christ we finally have a team steering the club in the right direction.

I was thinking about all the quality we have received over the last 3 drafts in particular. I thought i would do what our team will look like when all our current leaders such as Bruce, Green, J mac and Davey are no longer playing. This is my possible 2015 Team which is when we will really be dominating the competition like brisbane (01-04) and geelong (07-09). Obviously we will draft a few new players over the next 5 years but this is my best team looking into the future.

Note: I included Jack Viney (2011 Father Son Pick) in the team because im sure he will be part of best 22, will be a gun!!!

So what does everyone else think?? Any changes you would make?

I think it looks like an awesome team and I cant wait til 2010 to see the start of the careers of some of our future stars!!!!

One other thing i was thinking who would be captain and Vice?? thought Moloney could be a good choice, then i thought in 5 years time Grimes, Watts, Scully and Trengove could all be worthy. Its a tough one. What does everyone else think?

Go Dees!!!!

its nice to dream guys but i member back in 2004 we had a thread about our 2009 premeiership team and it had blokes like adam fisher as rover, nick smith CHF steven armstrong on a wing and dale carson at full forward!!! i even cameron hunter and ryan ferguson getting in the best 22!

Sorry was doing some digging around and found this quite funny! (Not shooting down the OP) but hows this for a flashback!

You were right though.

I wonder which names we'll be laughing about from this team in 5 years time. Hopefully not more than 70%, as is the case with the OP...

I reckon at least 7 or 8 of those won't make it and will drop off. Seems a more solid core than last time though.

I'm amazed that someone has the time or dedication to dig that deep into a footy forum, DD36 should be the number 1 ticket holder for the MFC next season.

Classic. Now you recently joined D'landers know why the oldies all groaned when we saw that future flag side pop up recently.

4 players left at best. Gosh, what a train wreck.

I've been here for coming up 5 years so missed this thread by a couple of drafts.

Most I've laughed from a 'thread-bump' in that time.

By a long way. :)

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
