  • 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.

Oh woooow... Everyone click the "matchup" button... Looks like the site manager took JA's advice (I think) and has put up the "projected" stats for the week based on averages. How good is that?!!!

And an odds column!!! HA! This is WICKED!!!

Question though JA...

I must have missed a category scoring post here... It says on projected stats that SnomeD's and my game will be a 7-7 draw. How is that possible? Is score AND score percentage only 1 point each? I thought it was ONLY accuracy.

Maybe you drew scoring %?

Odd one.

I need to be distracted right now...

(I felt I needed to explain why I am posting on UF at this time)

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

Plan on sending 100 trade offers today to keep minds of it. Finally got a day off work and I'm going to sit at home watching the worst day of news ever.

Might be time to buy a few movies

Awwww.... Wanna hug?

But seriously folks... It wasn't score percentage... JA has a bad habit of not returning even his brothers messages, so I'm going to assume score and score percentage are both worth one point each... effectively making score +score percanetage worth the same as any other one category.

Not sure I like it as it doesn't solve the "drawing" problem... but it might work out well in the end, as score and score percentage don't often go hand in hand. And if they do, it's because Buddy kicked 8-1 or something.... in which case... you DESERVE 2 points.

I can't work it out myself.

But if you look at the settings it looks like this:

Score: 2

%: 1

Kicks:2

Handballs:2

Marks:2

Hitouts:2

Tackles:2

Frees differential: 2

The projected calculation seems to ignore % altogether, it only ever calculates it up to 14 , maybe deliberately?

The odds can be a bit different from the projected score, it seems to include a bit more intelligence in it.

Also I saws note there that these features are free until round 3, then there is a 'premium coach' upgrade which will allow these features to continue. A cash grab I guess.

If someone has a back they think would tempt me then we can talk but other than that...

How would Grima, Laidler, Tambling or even Laidler suit you?

I don't think that's right...

You have it right, except that score and percentage are 1 each... Going by my calculations of other "matchups"

McPhee for Prestia.

Yep that's it. Pauline Hanson....I thought I would offer McPhee for Prestia in return. I have surplus forwards and thought I might try and balance the ledger. He is in reasonable nick, and I like Prestia for my balance of team.

You've probably all received about 3 trade offers each from me so far. Sorry about that. I just love trading!

On the block for me is most of my midfield (Ablett is a no-no and Montagna would require something special) Rischitelli, McVeigh, Robinson and others are available if the right offer is put forward.

I'm in the market for a defender and a goal kicker. I'd like to field offers for these however offering me a defender for a forward, or a forward for a defender isn't going to work out.

But...but...Mcphee.

You wanted the Pauline Hanson !

First it's Chris Mayne, now McPhee, maybe if you list your most hated footballers before we start we can avoid the tip toeing on broken egg shells trading with you ;)

Better still, give a list of players you like, and we will work from there. :)

You have a go at me for rejecting Mcphee then come out with your who's who of football list...come on!

It was Priddis anyway wasn't it?

And, in fairness (my favourite line lately), I did mull over the Priddis one for a while.

I only like Melbourne players, Chris Knights, Kieren Jack, Luke Hodge and Nat Fyfe. But I'll trade for anyone better/diff position to Tapscott - someone who thinks he'll improve.

For the record, I haven't had a go at you on rejection for McPhee, I can actually understand your non interest. You simply asked for an explanation and I wondered if there was any interest ? That's all. No skin of my nose for proposing it. The rest is tongue in cheek.

There's nothing wrong with putting feelers out in the Norm Smith League market place....helps you get a gauge.

Tom McDonald .... Maybe ... ?

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
