  • 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.

I'm giving The Master 24 hours from now to get on board - 10:30am Tuesday 2/12 - otherwise his place is taken by first emergency Mr Reims.

I've PM'ed him.

I reserve the right to make up the rules as required as we go along ....

Just so everyone knows MrReims and titan_uranus are sweating beads, holding their breath for a call up to be a part of this draft created by old55. :)

It will be interesting to see how we build our sides - will it be the strength of the spine first or the mids first ? Or build from the backs first ? Hmmmm.

Some very hard decision to be made. Best available versus needs. Gun KPF's are a bit light on to spread around 10 sides. And when to pick that player from West Coast? Leave it too late and you'll end up with a full on hack in your side!

As old55 alluded to earlier...same goes for Essendon.

This is how fantasy teams are done on the US.

More fun than the way Hun do it.

Only one person can get Ablett, one person Judd etc.

If someone wrote a program for it they would be rich!

Well, maybe not but they would get laid!

Maybe not...

Make people happy for a bit though.

Does exist already.

There was a thread started here where someone linked to a site that does the proper draft system. And it's free (as opposed to others which charge).

I can't for the life of me remember the URL. I'll go look for it.\

Edit: I think this might be it: http://www.ultimatefooty.com/

Well I'm surprised if this is the first time it has happened to date on demonland.

I think this will need to become a yearly off-season fixture in the flat spot between the ND and the PSD.

You do understand there is no resolution in that time?

I mean it's 'yay, I'm making a team' and then the next feeling is 'what the hell was the point of doing that so early?!'

I'll check out that ultimate footy thing - i'll be in for a DLand one (we might have to have a couple).

eth38 was interested. old55?

No thanks, don't like FF.

Probably a good idea to take it to another thread.

Yes we're waiting on The Master and he has until 10:30am tomorrow to get on board - I've PM'ed him.

Once we get going I reckon we'll fly.

already have my barry prendergast style list formed

Thanks for the idea. Creating a draft message to myself - best way to do it on Demonland as there's no private notes feature I know of.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
