  • 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.

A couple of questions for the brains trust ...

1> Which of the glut of 1st year mids should I choose, to make a heap of dollars then maybe upgrade later? And how many can I afford to include?

I was thinking of including three out of the following, in order of preference (yes, I know they are the top draft 5 picks, but I actually think they are the 5 most likely to play a lot, along with Brad Sheppard who is in my backline).

* Jack Trengove

* Dustin Martin

* Tom Scully

* Anthony Morabito

* Ben Cunnington

* (anyone else??)

2> Who are the best of the mid priced 2nd/3rd/4th etc year players? That is, who are most likely to take the leap to become top priced players (like our boy, Grimesy, did last year), and hence, again, make a heap of dollars?

Who should I pick, or avoid, from these guys? And, are there any others I should consider?

* Trent Cotchin

* Hamish Hartlett

* Jack Zeibell

* Alex Rance

* Rhys Palmer

* Patrick Dangerfield

* (anyone else??)

Any advice would be heartily welcomed.

Already in one league for my first year at this SC and DT thing.

Thought I might try what someone else said and make up a Dees team solely and see how they travel. Might be interesting.

Now to find out if I can squeeze in anywhere........

Haven't looked at my side yet. I'd look at the NAB Cup and form of the players you mention. Look for who you think will play an integral part of the H&A season and where they will play (ie. game time and their stats).

For now, I think you could do alot worse than have Trengove and Scully in your side. :)

Hope you dont mind. I have also joined this league. (SuperDees).

Also, some may laugh but I think B.Miller could be a good smokey this year. If we are better then we have been, then hw should take plenty of grabs due to his constant leads, and heres hoping he may finally pull it all together.

Also, apparantly Bastinac for the Roo's is a cheap pick and from all reports is impressing big time.

Not at all, I want it full of Demonlanders :)

I lost interest in it last year as I missed a few weeks, but want to stay on top of it this year :)

I Decided against the likes of Ablett and a few of the others right at the top and went with Hodge as my captain, thought Judd was cheap

I don't pretend to be an expert mate, but IMO Martin & Trengove are in for sure - subject to injury/ NAB cup time/ performances.

I'd avoid Hamish Hartlett like the plague, a mate was involved with the short flower last season and he had a terrible run of injuries, from the sounds of it he's not quite right yet. No doubt he'll get past those injuries at some stage but I wouldn't be attempting to time it myself. Better less prone players IMO. Having said that I could be hypocritical having Grimes in my team, eh. Reckon Zeibell's injury not being a soft tissue one like HH's several, is worth overlooking - an inclusion in both my SC & DT sides. Dangerfield has a lot of upside IMO and I like him as a pacy, exciting player from a spectators viewpoint, crows website sounds like he's recovered well enough from his scare for the start of the season.

I haven't been able to fit Morabito into my side at present, but definitely worth considering given Freo will probably need to blood more players in what I consider will be another underperforming season.

I like the look of Edwards from richmond (defender & Fwd I believe) and Suban of freo isn't too steep yet.

    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,
