    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.

olisik made a good point in the Under 18 carnival thread about Toumpas, Stringer and Wines.

I don't watch the under 18s very often but looking at today's game I would go with:-

■ Toumpas;

■ Stringer; or

■ Wines

Thoughts?

Toumpas for me. Sounds like the perfect match for Viney at 3. Class and pace to go with Jacks mad attack at the footy.

If we are KOTD and Viney makes it through to the second round I'd take Toumpas and Wines.

Stringer could be a slider imo and he might still be there at our mid round compo pick but I'd take Mayes or Colquhuon before him if they were available.

It'll probably be pick 13. I've got a feeling he will continue to climb. He could be worth the reach at pick 4.

Cant take him with pick 4, thats a big stretch I think.

I'd risk him being there at 13, look he probably wont be - but theres some good kids between 4 and 13, very good kids.

SA have an abundance of quality young talent that will go high.

Wines over Stringer and Toumpas.

I think Wines goes at 3, then we decide who we take at 4, which is wide open!

Oliver Wines for sure! reminds me of dustin martin alot! good head on his shoulders too.

Absolutely spot on, that is the comparison I made aswell, not Sylvia, Martin!

Well balanced on both sides, ferocious, desperate and has that shrug.

Toumpas at 3, Stringer at 4, Mayes at 12, Viney second round. I also really like Wines, but top 5 is too early and he won't last til 12.

Stringer is a brute.

That said, we might off-load one of our first round picks.

What's the best place to read information about these guys; i.e. teams, positions, height etc.

Toumpas clearly on that showing. Although he slowed down in the second half, his ball getting, composure, kicking action (especially the posture) and ball use were all fantastic.

By the way, that smallish leftie Kennedy (?) is a Shannon Grant lookalike. If he were available in the second round, I'd grab him. He will play a lot of footy - very nice penetrating kick and gets the ball well.

Toumpas. 15 handball receives. Just the kind of player we need

First time I've seen him but didn't strike me as an outsider. Good reader/presenter I guess. On a related note, the commentators spoke about Vic Country's lack of spread.

I didn't see the whole game.What did people think of Whitfield (clear #1 pick apparently)?

For those that have watched a bit of the championships, is Martin and Hogan worth going for in the mini draft?

Using Gold Coast and Adelaide as a guide.

Mini Pick # 1 -> Pick 4 and Mid 1st round compensation pick

Mini Pick # 2 -> Pick 10 and 1st round compensation pick

So if we wanted to get mini pick one, we would most likely have to part with pick 4 and 13.

Would people be happy with....

Mini Draft Pick # 1 - Jack Martin/Jesse Hogan

Pick # 3 - Jimmy Toumpas/Jake Stringer/Ollie Wines

2nd Round Pick - Jack Viney

No way, not a hope in hell.

Your saying we package pick 4 and 13 to get Martin, not happening.

Garlett is the equal of Martin and we probably get him for 13 alone!

On top of that, at pick 4, we will get a better player than Martin.

So, 4 and 13, makes no sense at all for me.

O'Meara would go number 1 in this draft - or VERY close to it.

I think Martin is good - but the most I would go is pick 13 and a player.

    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,

    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.
