    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.

Can someone explain the rules relating to the Sydney Academy. The way it was written in the article suggested that Sydney were able to pick him up with their last pick in the draft. Is this true? If so how can we legally obtain him?

I think he has the choice of opting for the scholarship if he wants, otherwise he can just go into the draft in the regular way

Opened that link and saw a Melbourne post with Kate Upton as profile pic followed by a scathingly arrogant comment directed at another poster Gee, who could that be?

Look at those legs. He has put a lot of strength training into those quads. Get Him

When I looked quickly at the title of the thread. I got a bit excited, I thought I had logged into something else. LOL

The fact of the matter is that even if Perris decides to put his name up for the draft, there's no guarantee that we're going to draft him. That said, Colless is being angry with Roos for giving him sound advice about his future welfare i.e that he's a good enough player to test himself out in the open market at the draft where his financial position if taken, would be far better than if he limits himself as a rookie to one club.

Roos is being honest and helping to one of his former charges.

Colless is being selfish, greedy and exploitative. You can tell he's been involved at the AFL for a long time.

So as I see it if he goes into the draft he becomes like a father - son type scenario. So the Swans can select him after any other club calls his name in the draft with their next pick. So all Colless is whinging about is having to pay fair price for Perris's drafting. If the Swans want him they can still have him but would have to give up a reasonable pick and pay the kid a fair salary.

I can understand that such a scheme can be justified for GWS which won't benefit from a father/son pick for a couple of decades but the Swans already benefit from having father/sons. Tom Mitchell was taken by them last year and made his debut this season.

It seems to me that this is another rort that benefits the Swans and must be ended ASAP.

Isn't this under the long-established NSW scholarship scheme?

That all clubs are able to utilise?

Collingwood did it with Witts.

Geelong had Ranga Ediriwickrama, who was hyped as being one of the greatest players ever prior to be drafted and fading into obscurity.

We had a scholarship holder in Teddy Ruxpin a couple of years ago that we didn't bother promoting (can't remember his real surname - Sheringham?)

Here is a some new information regarding this kid:

1. Stated on Footy Classified last night that Perris is the last of Sydney's scholarship holders, he was offered a confirmed rookie position but nothing further. So why are Sydney complaining if he nominates himself for the draft in an attempt for a position on a senior list (clearly worth one).

2. Based on the limited stats I have obtained over the U18 championships (thank you to a certain unnamed someone on this site), I have him covered in two games:

Round 2 VM (126) vs. NSW (62): 26 Disposals (11 Contested), 8 Marks, 1 Goal 1 Behind, 4 Tackles, 1 FF, 0 FA, 4 Clearances, 2 I50, 4 R50.

AN EXTREMELY GOOD GAME! One of the BOG, his stats that day were very similar to Kelly's although Kelly only had 4 contested possessions of his 26 total.

Round 4 NSW (47) vs. QLD (56): 17 Disposals (8 Contested), 3 Marks. 0 Goals 0 Behinds, 2 Tackles, 1 FF, 0 FA, 1 Clearance, 5 I50, 0 R50.

He was a little quieter in this game, although in both I am very impressed by his contested possession count. He has a very nice balance between his contested possessions and uncontested possessions.

Statistics legend: FF = Frees For, FA = Frees Against, I50 = Inside 50, R50 = Rebound 50.

Unfortunately I don't have any of the statistics for his other games.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
