    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.

What gives me the [censored] is our club hasn't leaked one little bit of info.

I want the old Melbourne back where Motor Mouth Connolly would open up with, tonight we will pick Jordon Gysberts, I assure you he will be better than our priority pick and pick one in a couple of years.

I want those leaks NOT!

I would suggest that in fact something HAS been leaked.

In the last few days it's suddenly been all aboard the Oliver train

If Olisik is Oliver then I no longer want him.

When St Kilda overlooked Petracca and GWS took Plowman instead of Toumpas there was strong word in the last 48 hours before the draft that a change in thinking had occurred. This year it feels different. Not one journalist has listed Oliver as our first pick and done so with any authority. I wouldn't be surprised if they were using the meeting mentioned in the article above as the basis for their selection of Oliver. I still think we'll pick Parish.

I don't get it

Im pretty sure he ment the back peddling some of those flogs do.. alot of fat jokes and when Oliver replies to them (in a lighthearted way) they back peddle pretty bad to the point where you could see them go red in the face.

Good article on Oliver here.

States how we met him at his home after the draft camp and that we were a lot nicer club to talk to than Essendon who ripped into him.

What a bunch of flogs!

The player we just 'had to pick' has been Parish and when there has been the player 'we had to pick' we have picked Watts, Morton, Scully, and Toumpas...

I have developed this affliction to ask 'who is the better player taken at 15 or 20.

Maybe Clayton Oliver is that better player usually taken later?

i think we are all haunted by the ollie wines catastrophe

i won't be surprised if we go clayton

if so i'd love to know (after) when the decision was basically made

might have happened when we actually managed to wrangle 3 and 7 from 6. Options officially changed...just my guess

suggests that some sort of cat has gotten out of some sort of bag

All I was saying is that Quayle, Twoney and Anderson all sound like they're making educated guesses.

This is what Landsberger said on the morning of the 2012 draft:

After SuperFooty revealed this week GWS would pass on SA gun Jimmy Toumpas with its first three picks, the Dogs suddenly had the option of taking Bendigo Pioneers captain Ollie Wines. But it seems Wines, touted as possibly the second-best player in the draft pool, could slip as low as pick seven - and even then he creates a headache for Port Adelaide, which is also keen on home-grown talent Sam Mayes.

And Jay Clark said this last year:

ST KILDA will crown Paddy McCartin the No.1 draft pick, believing the full-forward is the man to lead its list rebuild.

The Herald Sun understands the Saints have settled on the 194cm goalkicker, who has been likened to Hawthorn spearhead Jarryd Roughead.

See how the language is far more definitive. That's what I mean by making their picks with 'authority'. They happily suggested they had the inside word and they did. Not so this year.

It could have gotten out of the Dons bag with a guess that we'll take Oliver... Dons then take X and Y leaving us with the Wiedeman.

Melbourne considers Clayton Oliver with first pick: Plays like Ollie Wines

Oliver won me with this comment: “I do pride myself on being competitive. I always have ever since I was little. I just see the ball and want to get the ball. I always want to win. I never want to lose,” Oliver told Fox Footy...“I think they (Melbourne) like my inside work, my clean hands, work at the stoppages and competitiveness.”

I like the maturity in that...proud of his strengths and nothing egotistical about it!

The words underlined would be music to Jesse's ears...he made similar competitive comments after the RS award.

With that attitude Oliver will fit in nicely with the commitment our your brigade have made to winning.

For too long it was ok for our players to accept losing/floggings.

Can't help but think there is a new breed in Demon town!

Tend to agree C&B if it does go Oliver and Weideman you'd have to suggest that there was a leak somewhere, or they've all guessed correctly which is very unlikely. It would be funny now if they were all completely wrong. Would just go to show once and for all that they are all just guessing. Edited by hells bells

Feels to me that its our choice Parish/Oliver and the bombers will deffo take the other. Then Francis is the clear best of the remainders, so the top 5 is pretty locked in.

    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,
