    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.

So I reckon we should get 1 more person and cap it at 10, given the draft is next week.

I just realised that i won't be able to make it to the draft (i might be able to pop in for a pick or two) but i'll set some pre-rankings.

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.

Left Burma today IWAP, overnighter in Bangkok and off to India tomorrow. Might make a day or two of the Delhi test that starts on the 22nd, spewing I don't have my Dees jumper with me, always wanted to wear it at an International sporting event.

Anyway Burma is fantastic, Bagan and Inle Lake were the highlights. Bagan has nearly 3000 pagodas in a few square km's and they are 1000+ years old. Another 1000 or so were knocked down in an Earthquake in the late 70's. Shwe Dagon Pagoda in Rangoon is awe inspiring. It's a massive complex and the original, which is now buried deep within the main pagoda, is over 2000 years old. Legend says it has a hair of the Buddha at it's heart. It's topped off with an 80ct diamond and the whole place is covered in gold, jade and gemstones. You literally walk off the poverty ridden streets of Rangoon into scene of wealth you can't imagine. I went twice and the second time was on a full moon festival. You couldn't move, it was a seething mass of humanity.

If you're thinking of going I'd try to make it soon. The place is uninfluenced by the west atm but it won't stay that way for long. Hotels can be hard to find as they're not equipped to deal with the numbers flocking in since Aung San Suu Kyi gave the go ahead for tourists to return. Prices are fantastic except for hotels, supply and demand has pushed their prices up, but everything else is incredibly cheap. $2 for a 700ml bottle of the local whiskey, 40c for a pack of ciggies (found a brand called Red and Blue and stuck with them for the entire trip, just under the Red n Blue it says supremacy, if only), and you can fill your belly for under $2.

Sorry everyone else for this little indulgence but I'm still buzzing from the trip, had a fantastic time.

Think i might change the draft date to Monday 18th at 8pm. I have another draft on Sunday starting at 9pm so it would certainly make it easier for me. Anyone have a problem with this?

I will make the league public either tomorrow or Sunday. Think we need at least 14 teams otherwise rookies become a bit redundant which would be a shame. Any Demonlander's still wanting to join the login details are..

Sounds like one hell of a trip Furious D, and thanks, I enjoyed the read. Major jealousy happening here (especially with regards to going to the Dehli test). I'd love to go visit at some stage (pending approval from Mrs IWAP), and lets hope they don't get democracy so the place doesn't get ruined :)

Fine with me - i may have to still do some autopicks for some of the draft, but I'm pretty awesome at this game, so i think its only fair i have some sort of handicap :D

sorry for the inconvenient boys, but my brother is moving abroad for studying reasons this year, and that will mean he will be a little behind in keeping up with Ultimate Footy, and hes decided to pull out. I will still be in the league, but he wont be. He passes on his apologies. I'll make sure he withdraws from the league sooner rather than later

No probs man, probably for the better.

I think 14 teams is enough so i've closed the league. Final draft order is...

1. Dyl's Pickles

2. The reigning champ

3. Billy Bass

4. MaxTwenty

5. Saigon Saints

6. Galahs

7. Dark Days

8. Macca muts

9. Gibba's best

Lost the internet for about 6 picks in the middle of the draft, not too bad for India, some days the power is out all arvo. Very weak back line but not unhappy with my picks.

If anyone needs to trade backs for mids let me know and we can work something out.

I couldn't make it to the draft, but I guess in my Pre Draft I focused on midfielders too much, I have Josh Caddy, Brad Crouch Oliver Wines and Koby Stevens in bench, Willing to listen to offers if interested.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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,
