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.

Thanks, the MFCs newest member; 'Viney', is doing quite well despite her mum's persistence in calling her by some other name.

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

I don't quite understand why people think that teams aren't trying because of the Keeper rule. If it wasn't for keeper and teams were still struggling we'd still have the same problem - that's fantas

I questioned whether I'd give away any of my draft secrets but for fairness I'll let you all know I'll be selecting Matthew Bate with pick 15 in the draft.

Cheers.

I am considering Bate at pick 10.

Thanks for your best wishes for my trip to The States

3 sleeps until the draft!!

But before we get there I'd like everyone's input into some of the setting I have gone ahead with.

1. Bye Rounds (11,12,13) will not be played in ultimate footy.

The AFL season this year will have 3 bye rounds where ony 6 of the 9 possible games will be played. Which effectively means 1/3 of your team will not be able to play in those weeks. For this reason I have chosen not to play UFooty in those rounds.

2. The 15 point category scoring system.

The details of this are in an earlier post. But basically:

  • There are 8 categories this year (Frees differential replaces FF & FA)
  • You will be awarded 2 points for each category this year except for Score % which will be one.
  • The reason Score % is only worth 1 is to avoid the inevitable draws that occur due to their being 8 categories instead of 9.

3. Team lineup:

POSITION STARTERS (EMERGENCIES)

Backs 4 (1)

Centres 5 (1)

Rucks 1 (1)

Forwards (F) 4 (1)

Utilities (UTL) 1 (1)

Bench (BN) 4

If any of these rules offend you then speak up now. Once we have done the draft I can't change it.

Yeah all makes good and reasonable sense I'm happy with all of that.

Just realised I have a 21st on Sunday evening so I'm dreadfully going to be relying on the pre draft rankings which is terrible :(

Hopefully I can leave early to save myself some later picks and fix it up!

Your friend/family member should know better than to have a 21st on draft night.

Also I recommend people jump online before the draft and test their system using the UFooty 'test your system' function which you'll find on the league page. From memory you need flash so ipads and iphones may be out.

Not brothers, we all sit together at the footy, they were keen to join in if there were any spots available and since there are now 18 spots I figured it made sense.

This info is probably elsewhere in the thread ... but how long is there between picks on Sunday? Should we make it two minutes? I'm in Europe and a bit worried that anything less might be cutting it a bit fine ...

Disappointed about the lack of discussion re. trading for the draft. So here goes nothing. Looking to consolidate the middle of the draft so I'm after a pick around 160-170 and offering both 202 and 231.

A hell of a lot of class on both those picks with Sam Reid and Melksham potentials around 200 and Rhys Palmer, Stephen Hill and Salopek all around 231.

Negiotiations are welcome.

I didn't even know this was an option, I guess it is a new feature.

I guess I have to submit the traded picks so if you do get a trade done with someone please have it submitted by at least 4:00pm tomorrow, I get locked out of making changes 2hrs before the draft.

Not Happy Jan ... Looks like I am going to have to rely on auto picks, takes away the fun of it.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
