  • 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.

Who should we pick up?

what's with all the Caddy love??? Seriously, he is doing stuff all in pretty much all of his games. He is definately not worth a first round pick the way he has played in his games to date. Massively

That's a big 'apart from'... He's our best player. We recruited our best player. That says two things - we can recruit good players, and we don't have many good players...

Mate, you don't give up pick 4 for two averages players. You wouldn't do it for five average players.

Welling ham, Knights, Pearce,Goddard,Byrnes, Gumbleton and Edwards will do me.

Realistically I'd be rapt if we could snare a couple of these, because the young kids we draft with 3 and 4 are gonna be good...and then there's Viney.

Free agency and player trades should hopefully get us a decent crop of ready made players next year.......

yeah sure you can say that and thats fair, but that is probably because we havent made offers as of yet.

I just think Melbourne is not a attractive destination for Sharrod - but hell I hope I'm wrong. Brynes just does not excite me I honestly would rather stick fat with Davey and plan to play Viney in the pocket.

Injury prone - Knights no thank you, Gumbleton walking wreck but if it happened so be it, Edwards ditto Gumby

Goddard & (Cloke) - sorry to say just dont think we are a realistic chance. But again hope Im wrong

you make good points, very intelligent.

Melbourne isnt an attractive destination, but you can make it attractive with picks and $

Brynes doesnt excite me either.

Gumby and Edwards are horrible

I 100% agree with you I think thats exactly what we have to do. We need to make our club an attractive destination, if we have to pay some overs for a few "ready to go players" well I'm all for it.

Club might be attractive now - the no bs approach taken by Neeld would definitely be resonating with others outside the club.

How would others know the finer detail and why the hell would they care?

Ohhh i think its one of those things that is just "known", that Neeld is a tough guy and clearly did a very very good job with the Collingwood membership

Kane Mitchell won the Sandover last night with a record number of votes. (same number as Priddis before he was finally drafted).

Would be happy to get either of Mitchell or Blackwell with a late draft selection or rookie pick

Can we shout this loud enough for AAMI MFC recruiters to here. Have watched both these guys for Claremont and they are AFL standard.

Mitchell has the endurance and 2nd efforts that we need. Blackwell's skill and ball use would be essential for our midfield.

Our weapons

  1. Nathan Jones grunt and desire for the footy
  2. Sam Blease’s pace and goalability
  3. James Frawley’s pace and half back run (we need to free him up)
  4. Howe’s aerial marking
  5. Mitch Clark fwd presence (get fit and back on track)
  6. Jack Grimes run and create
  7. Jordie Mckenzie’s lock down role
  8. Colin Sylvia’s class and ability to go mid/fwd
  9. Tapscott’s toughness
  10. Tommy Macdonald’s strength across the backline

Watts & Trengove class and potential

Add Jack Viney to Nathan Jones’ grunt in the middle

What we need

  1. A star, top 10 in the league A player capable of 30+ possessions
  2. CHF … big and strong
  3. A quarterback, to setup with elite kicking
  4. A pacy left footer wingman, with goal kicking ability
  5. A fwd crumber
  6. A good ruckman, agile

B: Nicolson Sellar Garland/Rivers/Dunn

Hb: (Qtrback) T McD Frawley

C: (Winger) (High possess mid) Grimes

HF: Blease (CHF) Sylvia

Fwds: (crumbing fwd) Clark Howe

R: (Ruckman) Viney Jones

Int: Tapscott, Watts, Mckenzie, Trengove

Like Mitchell but would put Mark HUTCHINGS from West Perth in front of Blackwell on 2012 performances

Well we are looking better than I thought we have picks 3.4,13,30is to get four of them. might snare one in the PSD - if we trade wisely you just never know. But I do like the make up of the team. I just hope we dont accept "2nd best" or a heap more speculative kids.

Winger might get away with Taggert - crumbing fwd might get away with Viney in his first year & seek another mid. Ruckmen would have thought one of Jamar, Gawn, Fitzy & Spencer might make the grade - Ruckmen are over valued look at Cox & Nic Nat got beat by a 30 yo.

Would be interesting putting names to the positions - then adding to those names - bit like a hit list - we will never get them all- might never get one.

Qtrback - Jacobs, Otten who else? Reckon Plowman is an outside chance in the draft.

Winger - Toumpas ready to go

Mids - Caddy, Stevens who else?

CHF - I got NFI

Crumbing forward - Viney lock it in Eddie

Depth?

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
