    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.

This is the same way it worked last year (I recall robbo getting screwed by doing this when he tried it when playing me :) )

The thing that people (including myself) took advantage of was to put a player in the Friday game in as an emergency and put a player who isn't named (from a non Friday night team) on the field.  If the emergency did well then you leave it, or if the emergency was bad then you move the non-playing player who is on the team onto the bench and replace with another playing player.

also snomed any thoughts on the scoring and the team line up size. I'm pretty comfortable with the line up, but thought i'd put it up for discussion.

What are you talking about JCB? Fixing up a flawed scoring system in 2015 will make 2016 a better and more even contest for everyone. We are suggesting nothing more than Hit Outs are worth more t

ok. do we have a gentlemens agreement that we dont do this or change final teams to friday night. Or is it just not bigger deal if everyone knows they can do this and as lance armstrong once implied, its fair because everyone's doing it. Some people may find it tough to get there line ups finalized by friday night.

I don't think setting the final teams to Friday night is an option given the Sunday teams aren't announced until Saturday (I'd actually think the best way would be to be able to change all players until their game starts).  

I say fair game - everyone knows how to do it - it'd be easy enough to say you "accidentally" didn't change a player on time etc - let everyone do it and it's 1 less argument for the year

Just taking a look at the settings / line up size now.  All looks good at a glance.  As I said above, what we choose for scoring doesn't matter too much - we all have to build teams around what the scoring system is no matter what the values :)

with the scoring if we put spoils up to 3 we would have to take a point off something to put it back an uneven number to try and eliminate to many draws for the season. we could drop one off hit outs take that back to 2, but I thought we'd want to keep the good ruckmen as real value to the team, unlike last year where a lot of the time you were better off playing a forward ruck who might snag a goal. As you stated you build your team around the scoring so I'm pretty easy on the the weights, just want to make sure everything is sorted before the season so there wont be to many arguments.

I'd say a spoil has a much bigger impact than a hitout.  That said, I'm not too fussed - as long as we know what the points are worth before the draft then we can build teams to those categories :)

By the way, haven't had the chance to get on here too much lately to say good work on all you've done!  

Hey Snomed & Scarlett

Fair call on Spoils.... Put it up to 3 also & scoring remains OK

as for a left field addition, how about we add a 2nd Utility into the onfield mix? :-)

One further question Scarlett have we confirmed the identity of all players this season?

Has the 12th position actually been taken up by JCB's mate "Chaser J"?

 

 

I believe that is jehads team.

12 positions have been taken.

PC Demon has all the pressure on him, will be having sleepless nights stressing about his number one pick. Last years number one pick ended up being a dud didnt it? out injured all year. No pressure at all PC

Less than 5 days to go all coaches.....good luck to all.

thanks Scarlett & OMR for getting 2016 off and nearly ready to fire on all cylinders....

I am ready....to give OMR the greatest hiding of all. 

But he and Scarlett are both extremely consistent and very hard to beat...

All the best in the draft to all coaches .

All looks good, pretty keen I reckon leave the players set up! Scoring is good! If we increase spoils to 3 I still think draws are highly unlikely because there are often category draws anyway!

Agree with MM- spoils leave at 2,hit out's also 2 points.( as Scarlett initially proposed).

So are we agreed?

Spoils to 3

Hit Out's remain @ 3.  This is the only way to bring elite ruckmen right back into the game. These 2 categories Change the entire drafting strategy. I like it......?

As I understand-.spoils/2, Hit out's /2....that's how I see it..or keep as is currently on settings on Ultimate footy - hit out's /2, spoils 3.total = 25, odd number ,no ties....

Great result in my opinion.

However, it is a MUST to complete this task or indeed,keep the setting,current on the Ultimate footy site ,as we have already basically locked in our draft thoughts.

.....this has to be fair to all and I believe to late to change now in my opinion.

It is far to late to make changes - draft just over a days time...

we need to go as is .....

    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

    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,
