    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.

Seeing that our little brother the Norm Smith league have started their thread, i think its about time for our one to start.

Who is in for this year? Preference will go to those who participated last year, but i think there will be a few spots open for any others that want to join. Once you play ultimate footy, you'll have a hard time going back to dreamteam or supercoach.

I want someone else to take over the admin this year. From memory Striker was willing to do it, but might be away for the start (Striker are you around???) or perhaps someone else if he is unavailable?

Returning players

GM11 - Galahs

7-UP - 7-Up

I'm keen. I'll be in Burma for all of Feb, can we have the draft later than that because the interwebs aren't so flash in that part of the world. Better to wait till late in the NAB Cup anyway, gives a formguide and less chance for more injuries before the season proper.

No chance for me to do the admin as I'll be travelling all year. Should make for a pretty ordinary season for the eyeballs but I'm keen to keep my spot in the league, love the Ultimate Footy.

Great to have you back guys! Still awaiting the others from last season, and there is also some room for any new players that may wants to give it a go.

I'd love to hear how your trip to Burma was when you return. I'd imagine it would be a pretty interesting place to tour. I'm thinking mid-March would be a good time for the draft.

Just PM'd you. I'm back in but adminning on my own will be a bit rough - I'm in the US right now and will be until the end of the month, plus I've got another league to commish for. I'm happy to help out and split with someone, but if someone wanted to take over outright it wouldn't phase me either.

Thanks Striker, BrunoC and Doc! Great to see lots of returning faces.

BrunoC - very happy for you to take over the role of admin. I think the easiest way is for you to start a new league, and send us the code and password (either in this thread or via pms). Are you thinking of any rule changes (eg. captains) etc. ?

Still plenty of room for the rest of last year's comp plus some newbies.

Okay I have created the league - will PM everyone the password.

Settings are pretty much the same as last year apart from a few minor tweaks. Season player signing/delisting limit has been reduced to 30 and "weekend signing lockout" is activated (players become restricted FA over the weekend). This means teams who are not quite as active will not be disadvantaged when it comes to signing free agents.

Of course I am willing to change any setting if a majority of the league agrees to it so don't be afraid to suggest changes in this thread.

Live draft is set to 17 March at 8pm (Round 1 starts 22 March). Tell me if this suits you, I can change it if necessary.

EDIT: League ID is 822191

how will the draft order be done?

Think its just the ladder order on the league page - so 7UP would have first pick if we were to start the draft now.

The ladder gets jumbled each time someone joins, so once the 16th team has signed in we will know the final draft order.

8 spots still remaining CMON JOIN UP!!!

After reading some of the reports from the intra-club today, i'm very interested to see where some of our players get drafted.

I'm calling shotgun on Jack Viney. No one else should be allowed to draft him.

Good luck with that. I'm trying to work out just how high to bloody draft him. Is 15th Round too high?

There's a few around this year too - Crouch, O'Meara (although will he get a game?), Wines, Whitfield (same as JOM), Stringer....

EDIT: Good guess - he's projected under UF rankings at 235 which puts him in the 14th round.

my brother, who was Daves Demons, has returned 'DB'

Good to have him back. Shame he was absent for the first half of last season because he had a pretty decent side and would have been a finals contender.

Viney a little underwhelming tonight in terms of his fantasy output - still should be a solid mid-round selection given the 'inside' nature of his game. Toumpas impressive seems to be a natural accumulator, knows where to run. Kent a potential bargain late round selection.

Was his first year of UF, didnt have a clue what to do strategy wise. He was used to super coach, expect him to be better this year... just like his brother. ^_^

6 spots still up for grabs

Just to clarify the scoring system for any new players who might be interested in joining.

There are 9 categories weighted as follows:
Kicks- 2 points
Handball- 2 points
Marks- 2 points
Tackles- 2 points
Hitouts- 2 points
Goals- 2 points
Frees For- 1 points
Frees Against- -1 points
Scoring Accuracy- 1 points

So if your team gets more kicks than your opposition for the round you will score 2 points. If you score 8 points you win the round. Teams consist of 18 players (6 Forwards, 5 Centres, 6 Backs, 1 Ruck) plus a captain.

The site is very user-friendly and will only require you to log in for 5 minutes each week to select your team. Give it a try you will not regret it!

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
