  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    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.

I'm going to allow changes up until the day before the draft, I just ask if everyone can pick them asap so I can make sure that we're good to go. The last thing I want to do is assign someone their keepers if they forget to do it.

As our Manager ,I feel with your allowance above you are bringing a lot of work on yourself re the tightness of time before draft time..

It is my suggestion that we close off our concluded keeper/ rookie picks by 12pm, 28th February 2014to allow all players(coaches) to look at whom are available to pick from after all selected keepers/ rookies are locked away.

Also,this gives all a weekend to look through it..

This is my recommendation to allow a good transition

Jarka,

I want to request you to seriously think about bringing in rules and regulations to qualify for coaching in 2015, before the start of this season.

I am suggesting that one of these is,all coaches have to qualify their rookies before finals start in our 2014 season. This will allow a follow through in 2015.this covers the issue accordingly.Also, if a coach does not continue in the 2015, it brings fairness to a new coach, and is fair to all.

Some may have other considerations for you to consider before season starts

Cheers

Only negative with this is injuries over summer, meaning that it could result in one of your 4 keepers being out for the year, but I like the idea

JCB, I'm comfortable with allowing a change to a keeper up until the day before the draft due to an injury, the only thing I ask is for eveyone to assign their keepers now so everyone can start planning for the draft. Injuries have much more of an impact in Ultimate Footy compared to Supercoach

OMR, thank you for that and a good suggestion however that would go against everything that's been discussed and decided on in the past with regards to the keepers. I don't want to mess around with the rules too much, last year the comp worked really well under the rules we had in place.

Have pained over Shuey, Ebert or Prestia.

Don't like Ebert so I ditched him and can't decide between Prestia and Shuey. Prestia had a better season and is still up and coming - but may find it difficult to back it up - whereas Shuey was relatively quiet but had injury concerns.

I may change it - have to keep an eye on them in pre-season.

We're now waiting on two teams for their keepers, which is a bit frustrating considering how many requests I've made. I'm going to be pretty busy over the next couple of weeks so I need the keepers set for the last two teams by this Sunday, if you don't I can't guarantee that I'll remember to assign them for your team. No more warnings or requests, this is your last chance.

Thanks MM, as previously mentioned I'll allow changes to the keepers up until the day before the draft due to injuries. Everyone has until this Sunday to finalize their keepers, the reason for this is that it gives everyone a week to work on their draft strategy but if anyone changes their keepers then the 'pre-draft rankings' section has to be redone. I don't want anyone to be disadvantaged due to a late injury but I also don't want people to lose all their work unnecessarily.

Enjoy the holiday!

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
