  • 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.

Which Jack???

We are impressively inundated with Jack's!!! Why "impressively"??? Because they are ALL fantastic future prospects beyond belief!!! Disregarding Fitz (because he is obviously hard to judge at present), all these Jack's could arguably be in our Top 5 players 5 years down the track.

Vote away!

Like a few said in the other thread Jack Darling could be in that mix. This whole potential 6 Jack thing is starting to get ridiculous, I love it.

Hahaha. Would be creepy!!!

We could have a centreline full of Jack's soon enough!!! Hrmmm we just need a Jack ruckman - maybe Jake Spencer could legally change his name to Jack; it's close enough...

Edit: Although Jack Fitzpatrick will be a 2nd tier ruckman. Food for thought....

It's certainly a story line to be told grand final day. Will the recruiting staff be feted for this talent scouting coup as Hawthorn were in 08, focusing their attention on left footers? :unsure:

Jack Darling it must be at pick 12. Unless another club is on to us & our strategy :huh:

Edit: I would prefer the OP start the Jack Grimes description with, Superstar & captain in the making. Then maybe a mention of the injury issues. ;)

Jack Grimes for me!

i believe they will be all great in different ways haha :)

Sensible point.

Watts as the big strong KPP CHF - crash packs, take big marks and a booming dangerous kick.

Grimes as a captain prodigy and help glue the backline together.

Trengove will be our tough in-and-under type. Not afraid to get the hard ball.

Fitzpatrick is another KPP prodigy much like that of Hale - forward/ruck.

Viney the ball magnet. Tough and ruthless.

It's what his potential will be...

I have reserved judgment with Fitz at the moment after only seeing tiny bits of his footy in 2010.

USELESS INFORMATION:

In the paper this week, it was reported that "Jack" is currently the most common name for babies. :)

USELESS INFORMATION # 2:

Yes, having a 2 & 1 year old, just been through the baby names. Jack would be top 3 for the past 5-10 years.

Did try the Jack, had two shots at it and the better half shot me down.

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
