    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.

Supercoach and Dreamteam

Recommended Posts

Just felt like starting this topic.

I'm averaging 2050 a round in Supercoachwhich I'm happy with, last week was a nice looking 2150. Thing is, I still lost by 400 points, which has ruined my percentage and left me 3-2 with the most points against in the league at 2100+ a game. Ouch.

So how's everybody going?

I've got a few demons in each of my team namely: Scully, Trengove, McKenzie (supercoach only), Frawley.

I've just traded McKenzie to free up some cash to upgrade to someone like Pavlich or Bartell in the middle to join ablett, selwood, judd, cooney, barlow with Scully and Trengove as well.

I'm not sure what my average is but i believe it's somewhere close to 2100.

Going well, except traded in Hughes in a downgrade fro cash and to earn some more money. If there a complaint line to DB for dropping hughes this week for dreamteam !!! :(

teaches me right for trading on a Wednesday. I thought he was traveling okay.

Otherwise sitting around 2000-2100. will lose my first game this week in my local comp. Playing the leader of the pack. AS of next week I'm starting to upgrade the boys.

for example trangove to swan.

I'm over both of those sites , the way the pricing works is just useless. It requires far too much time to manage trades and so on. And the supercoach scoring system just doesn't make sense.

The future is draft style fantasy footy, where a draft is held pre-season for your list of players, and no 2 teams in the same league can have the same player. Then trading can occur between teams during the season and the value of each player is determined by what a team is prepared to trade for it.

I know of a few people who run their own system using excel, but there are a few sites out there that manage it pretty well for free.

The only thing is that it requires a draft night where every coach can be at the ready to pick when their number comes up in the draft, but once that is done it is easy.

Best decision I made was taking Scully, Trengove and Martin as my three midfield rookies. Got to shell out for quality and now with their dividends I'm upgrading to Goddard, Chapman et al ...

Also, getting set to cash in on Podsiadly and will trade him for Watts. Wattsy will be a good reserve forward option and I'll use that cash to slot The Pav into my forward line.

All going well, sitting 7th on the league ladder but Sylvia has got to LIFT !

Averaging a tick under 2000 in DT, which is kinda good considering I've been playing 21 for the last 3 weeks, which is thanks to two terrible ruck decisions. First took Tippett, then traded him for Seaby who got injured the next week. But now got Rhys Stanley, which I've been waiting for for weeks.

Podsiadly, Jarrad Grant, Alex Silvagni, Carl Peterson, Ben Howlett have all been good choices. Much moneys in them.

I agree. Whilst I still like DT (not SC, I'm a purist), the draft style would be so much better. More realistic as well. They have 'DT Pro' or something but there's a fee for that.

Martin's not that good in DT: mediocre average and has break even this week in the 50s which will be a stretch for him.

Edit: This could be a record in the making: Brian Lake's over 100 points in DT, and it's not even half-time yet.

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
