    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.

Backs: Adcock Heppell Dunn (B/F) McGrath (B/F) Tapscott

Mids: Rockliff (C/F) N.Jones S.Black Cooney (C/F) Cunnington O'Meara Moloney D.Jackson

Rucks: Jolly Hudson Hille (R/F)

Forwards: J.Riewoldt Rioli A.Goodes Gunston

Pretty happy with the make-up of my squad. No out and out gun midfielder in the swan/ablett mould however if Rockliff, jones step up, Beamer makes good in Brissy, and Cooney is over his knee and is flying like the reports say I might be ok. Happy +++ with my forward line( and dual possy forwards for cover), could do with another solid defender for the inevitable injury to Adcock (but maybe captaincy will suit and he'll stay healthy!). Overall content with draft night

And more importantly ... how is your health JCB?

I appreciate your inquiry re my health.

I have a Pep Scan next Wednesday and see my specialist next Thursday to find out my current status.

Starting to eat now, which is a relief.

Went from 88 kls to 62.5 kls whilst having treatment for cancer in several spots..Unfortunately had a relapse at the start of the year which sent me flying.

However, like always will bounce back and give all you coaches a real run for your money..or in this case a run for the game.

Take care and sorry that you got suspended earlier on...usually that happens to me...quite often.

All the best to all coaches and watch out I will be there at year end.

Good to hear you're getting your appetite back. That's a good sign!

If you approach UF with a fraction of the fight you've shown in your personal health battle, you'll make the eight in a canter.

Have you guys seen JackAttacks team? Wow! If he is not $1.01 favourite I'll eat my hat

Yeah, looks pretty good. Let's see how they play as a team. $1.01 is too short, so try eating that hat. Play him in Round 9. He snapped up Beau Waters who I had my eye on in the draft. Had him last year. May kick myself for not having him as a keeper for a back from last year. Elected to go with Bartel (C/F) and Dal Santo ©. Need Frawley to step up this year I feel.

Bartel is getting a good wrap around the place. Probably would have been drafted earlier than Waters so you've done the right thing

The projected totals have me beating him this week...

Does our season start this week, I forget how it works...

At $4.55 I'll put that bet on for sure.

The Jackattacks are a changed team this year; fitter, stronger and with a game plan.

Without knowing your score breakdown I can't say much except for the fact that you have a very potent forward line...

Drop Sylvia for Garlett though.

Agree with RPFC's comments. Forward line strong.

Generally speaking an exceptionally strong team compared to ours, you have either draft exceptionally well, or there are not as many teams in your league.

Sixteen.

Ahhh k so two more. Probably makes quite a big difference in those leagues. We found that having too many makes it really difficult. Ours is a keeper league starting from now though so we've got squads of 30 with 18 on your field and 4 emergencies. At the end of the season you have to turn over a minimum of 7 players.

Interesting. Makes the draft a bit dull but I would like to have a go at that kind of league. Would be more akin to managing a team.

IMPORTANT

You must set your team before the first game of each round. Previously it may have been possible to wait until Saturday morning, this is not the case anymore.

So we have to select our players who play next week tonigh?

Lineup lockout deadline

In the leadup to each AFL round you can move players around your lineup as much as you like. Once the AFL round commences however players will become locked into position, the timing of which depends on your leagues Lineup Lockout setting. To allow you to choose your preferred rules Ultimate Footy provides the following lineup changes lockout options:

First Saturday Game Of The Round (default): No changes can be made after the first Saturday game of the round has commenced. Players who play prior to the first Saturday game are locked once their game commences.

This setting is used by all public leagues. Note that in Round 1 where AFL games are played over two weeks, lockout will actually take place on the second Saturday of the round (1:40pm Saturday March 30th).

First Game Of The Round: No lineup changes can be made after the first AFL game of the round has commenced.

Individual Game Time (a.k.a Rolling Lockout): Coaches can move players between bench and starting positions as long as both players being moved are yet to have their team play.

Is there a chance to change it?

    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,

    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
