    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.

Got up and beat OMR....by a heap...proud of my team...thought we were well and trully gone.

. Well done JCB, I was simply outclassed all over the ground today. You are certainly in a rich vein of form at the minute, and to think Stevie J and Lindsey Thomas still to return. This game is all about depth, your team has plenty. I lose Goodes, Crameri and Harry O and the wheels fall off. I hope I can regroup and scramble into the 8 to earn another crack at your super team . Well played this weekend my friend. Edited by Old Man Rivers

One extra rule - if you threaten to leave because of any issue you are having after the rules have been setup for ages - you are out of the league.

You will...you will be playing off or nearby.

Two major forwards you missed badly...Harry O..always a good solid earner..the positional changes will be a major actor for me this week.If not will be in the hunt for for a defender...Varcoe maybe the go....as well.

Best the luck for finals unless you meet me....Robbo is looming as the dark horse and wants to improve his team further..good luck to him.Robbo has always been amongst the best...still, my aim is to make the top 4 - I have ever missed so far.....that is, every year we have had the Norm Smith league, I have been in the top4, that is my current aim.

If Ican get over Jacko this week, I should achieve it.

Regards

JCB 31.....

Two rounds to go and trading to cease this Sunday night for trading sees coaches need to cover urgently their keepers for 2014.

They will need to keep 2 senior ( best) players along with (2) rookies born in1992 or later.

I believe this matter is urgent to gain best players for each coach to qualify to play in 2014.

The above are rules implemented by JA last year.

All the best to each coach- not only to gain best team but also for the rest of this season.

Heading to China soon for further treatment therefore may not be able to wish my opponents all the best later in the finals.

But be prepared for me still to be competitive and I can assure you I will give my best

Regards to all

JCB

Good luck, jcb.

I am pretty sure that Free Agents can be signed up until the Grand Final so for those teams that have 'player signings' left you can use that on a kid to meet your quota of two young keepers.

There is no need to get that done before the trade deadline.

Cunnerz09, there is also the Robbie Flower league. Although it seems quite competitive, it has nothing on the prestigious Norm Smith League. Keep an eye out around Jan/Feb when the leagues get sorted for next year, I'm sure people will drop out or a third league will be formed.

Firstly thank you for your kind thoughts, secondly as long as the rookies are picked up by grand final week ..that is ok with me..

All the best for the finals, if you do not meet me

And well done to 45HG who leads the race for Pick Number 1 in next year's draft by beating the league leader.

I will resurrect the thread I started for the AFL as a whole for this - I really like it.

Does percentage continue to be calculated during finals? I cannot remember if it did last year, however it needs to be kept in consideration so that people don't just disappear in the last 3 weeks

I completely forgot about the consolation finals...

With that in mind I would say no.

It would leave the chance that a strong team that finished 9th could romp in a few wins and sneak a top 3 pick...

It's really meant for the bottom 5 teams to keep playing and trying to win and doing what 45 did on the weekend.

I thought the idea was for the bottom 5 teams to keep playing and trying to win through the consolation finals as well? Otherwise this is pretty pointless - you have gotten 1-2 weeks where the bottom teams try, and another 4 where they won't bother...

The consolation finals is setup for the same reason I set up the % determinator - to try and keep people playing.

Great Grand Final Scarlett! Seriously mate this premiership was decided by 1 straight kick. What a climax to an amazing season in 2013. Very proud to add OMR onto the Norm Smith League honour board after today taking out the 2013 Premiership. This comp has gone from strength to strength in its 3 year history. I can't wait to defend the title in 2014. Well played to all competitors in 2013. PS: I really just wanted to show off the new signature. :-)

Congrats OMR, been an awesome year, up until the bye round after that I couldn't buy a win. Looking forward to 2014

However just a word of caution - if you're going to brag at least get the spelling right!

    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

    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,
