Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Only 4 spots left for Demonland 2 (Or the Demonland - Robbie Flower league as i like to think of it). Get in quick if you want to play.

League ID: 175561

Password: demons

Draft time is set to Sunday February 26 at 8pm. Enough time to see each team play once (well twice) in the NAB cup

Sounds good IWAP. What time limit do you have on picks? As Jackattack says it's best to keep it short.

It is also 1 minute per pick. Similar to Jackattack, the league i was in last year had 5 minutes per pick in a non-live draft - and it took 8pm to midnight for two consecutive days, plus several picks during the day. One of our entrants insisted on taking about 4 minutes 58 for each of his picks!

KEEPER LEAUGE

I had thought originally to keep players from last year for this year but ultimately I feel that disadvantages some teams who might have weaker teams so it is best to start from a clean slate.

I still think we should still explore the option of keeping one player each from 2011

Surely this wont disadvantage any teams!

The two new teams simply get a priority pick before the 1st round

If we are going down this track anyway in 2013 then this One Player ONLY MVP 2011 selection will add an interesting twist to this season.

Yes / No / Maybe - Thoughts?

I agree with the idea but the great thing about UF is the connection you have with the other competitors. With trades and everything happening during the year you begin to make somewhat of an alliance with some whilst refusing to trade with others knowing how they operate. It is this that seperates just names on a page like SC and DT and the reason why changing it each and every year may not be a good idea. I always play closer attention to the posters who I played UF with simply because I see them as good blokes.

For this reason also it's why I'd set up two threads one for League JA and one for League IWAP. Theres no one and two but its simply easier to connect with your league than going through all the post because last year League 2 got lost because League 1 were all so active in the thread.

This is a good suggestion imo, what do others think? Would 2 UF threads on the board for most of the season be too much.

Last year league 2 was almost like supercoach with unlimited trades of fringe players, we definately need to get a conversation going this year

I'm in favour of two threads as long as it won't annoy non UF posters too much. Hopefully it will encourage everyone to be more active. I like UF banter, which was done well in JA's league last year, and it would be great if something similar could happen with our league. It would be my strong preference, however, not to call it under my username - but rather Ultimate Footy Demonland 2 - OR Ultimate Footy - Robbie Flower league.

2 spots left

I support splitting the threads.

'Ultimate Footy - Demonland' would be my preference for a name. I think to have the league named after me would be too much.

Ok Done. I'll re-name this one.

IWAP - If you want you can start your Demonland 2 League (Robbie Flower).

Alright, I'm in.

WB eth, looks like we're all just about locked in for UF - Demonland League.

Here are my thoughts on having the keeper league from last year.

Would have to be two at a minimum because of the draft system, otherwise it wouldn't be fair. The coach who had pick 1 has too much of an advantage over the coach with pick 16, I can't remember who was picked last year so I can't give specific examples.

If we did bring it in this year instead of next it will disadvantage those who didn't select players with the keeper league in mind. And might disadvantage those who traded late in the season.

There is also the problem of not knowing who had which players. Although there might be a way around that if I delete our current league completely and we start again.

SnomeD now in.

Only eth38 is missing, anyone know him? Last seen on demonland in December.

OK NO Keeper Leauge in any way shape or form from 2011 - I'm moving on & looking forward to 2013 on that score.

Know JA please explain how your Lottery idea for draft order selection will unfold?

You won't be disappointed OMR; it is a draft lottery system where you place bids on the pick you want and I draw those bids from a hat to determine the order of the draft.

More details tomorrow.

I don't want to scare you JA but I wouldn't be lying if I said thinking about this UF season and your new rules doesn't give me a slight erection. :blink:

Hey BIG JIM, Check out the Ultimate Footy - Robbie Flower League thread. You're in there. IWAP has designed different aspects rules for your comp to this one so it would be worthwhile checking with him. Good luck.

JCB is in.

eth38, snomeD and 1 of the two new guys are yet to join, that would make 18

JCB says thank you to all- especially OMR,HT and of course JA. He will be back late february and hopes he will be able to operate it.He is not IT savy but I will try to help him, if not we know you will.

Welcome to our 2 new coaches for 2012, and a bit of an introduction for the class of 2011:

Dream team: Obsesive compulsive disorder when it comes to Melbourne players taken early in their draft year. Wears number 4 on his jumper, has a picture of Colin Sylvia's arms in his wallet, and may still hold out hope that Trav Johnston will resurrect his career at the dees.

Jackliveshere: Accepts the blame for last year's debacle after choosing number 31 for his jumper. Is considering number 10 for next year. Genuinely believes, and has so for many years, that Mitch Clark is the greatest player in the game.

DRAFT LOTTERY

We’re changing the way we pick the draft order this year. For reasons too many to mention here we are holding a draft lottery system to decide the order in which the first round of the draft will be selected. Like last year the order of the second round will be the reverse of the first, the third reversed again and so on.

· You may place a bid on any of the 18 first round picks you would like to have in the draft.

· The number of bids you have is based on where you finished last year (see table)

· If you have multiple bids you can place them on a single pick, or spread them across several picks.

Once everyone has submitted their bids I will compile them into their 18 buckets (18 picks), each bucket will have multiple bids in it. And so we will begin the lottery.

· Starting at bucket 1 (pick 1) I will draw 1 bid out. The name I draw out will get pick 1 in the draft.

· I repeat the process for pick 2, 3 and so on until everyone has been assigned a pick.

A few technical issues you don’t need to know but might like to know.

· You may only be assigned one pick in the first round, meaning if I pick your name out a second time it will be ignored. (you can’t have multiple picks in the first round)

· If I come across a bucket without a bid, that pick will be assigned to the lowest available player on table below (ie. worst performing team from last year)

· If you do not submit your bids to me on time all your bids will be placed into one pick associated with the reverse finishing order from last year.

Had to guess a bit with the finishing position from last year but here is my table listing the number of bids each coach has:

DL 7: 1 bid

Dappa: 1 bid

JCB: 1 bid

Jackattack: 1 bid

Range rover: 2 bids

Robbo: 2 bids

Jako: 2 bids

HT: 2 bids

45HG: 3 bids

OMR: 3 bids

Rpfc: 3 bids

SnomeD: 3 bids

Dream team: 3 bids

Jack liveshere: 3 bids

Mad Melbourne: 3 bids

Eth: 3 bids

Scarlett: 3 bids

Devoted: 3 bids

PM the bids you would like to place.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
