    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.


Priority pick 2015

Doesn't look like we can win to many more games so I wander if this 'secret formuler' by the AFL will grant us a PP if we win less then 4 games.

Pick 1 and 2,3 or 4 could definitely snag us a star or 2 in trades and set us up

It's been established already that no matter how poorly you perform, if the word Melbourne is in or associated with your club's name, you don't qualify for a priority pick under the rules.

I love how playing the 3 best teams in the last 3 weeks and a serious run of injuries that has exposed our known to be shallow depth = we wont win many games. I still expect us to win 6-8 which was what I expected at years start.

Tough luck for North Melbourne then.

FK me seriously? are we really that worse then 2013 that after playing basically the top 3 sides of the competition that some supporters actually think we should get a priority pick!? LMAO!

FMD I know we obviously haven't matched up to them but jeez ease up on the wrist slashing.

Laughable thread.

The premise of the thread is based on an incorrect assumption that we wont win 3 more games.

As stated previously, we have played 2 teams outside of the top eight... and have beaten them both comprehensively.

PP are based on history as well as current season. If lucky we can beat 2 of Carlton Brisbane and St. Kilda at best if we are firing.

If we only snatch 2 of those we will be on 4 wins this season. That + our past should put us in the box seat

Complete dribble.

"Formuler" FM.

Let's instil a culture of hard work to get what you want.

[censored] the handouts, if we keep asking for them we will never be taken seriously as a club.

"Check out Melbourne asking for a handout again."

Rubbish thread.

And what do you plan on doing with these so called hand outs that you desperately want?

I said earlier, if we can trade it for a gun mid or 2 it will definitely help us. Our playing list is still a rabble, a few injuries and we go down [censored] creek.

I presume that with Carlton performing as badly as they are there will be talk somewhere inside the AFL about a priority pick, but it won't concern us.

I read in an article the other day about the issue of GWS and CG mining talent with their crazy draft concessions and the effect that has had on CARTLON's ability to recruit.

NOT US, CARLTON!

But when we made the same argument last year, no press, no sympathy.

We threw pick 3 last year and no one had a nibble. What makes you so sure that we will land a gun mid? And if we don't? We will pick up more kids and you will start exact same thread next year saying we need a priority pick because we are getting flogged by top 3 sides..

You are amazing aren't you.....

Apart from Freo in Round 22, I give us a good shot in all other matches.

We'll win at least 6 I'd of thought, so zero chance of a priority pick.

7 games in and we have a thread on a potential priority pick.

Some posters on here never cease to amaze.

This is pretty close to spot on. We've gotten our worst stretch out of the way and we will certainly win a few more games before the season is out.

not true, it is very obvious to me that we had a deal all stitched up involving pick 3+12(?) for somebody but Richmond's medical screwed us

every chance to do the same this year, we don't need a PP to do it though

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
