    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.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

So true.

 

I do wonder if they will trade 23 and 2019 1st rounder to move up order. Seems this draft will see some great player drop through so maybe not a consideration.

Still have big tickets on Jordan Clark , would be good to grab him as an understudy to Hibbard. 

Looking forward to tomorrow, not as much as in the past 7-10 years. That maybe due to the fact we made the final this year. 

God just remembered we did that without Lever in the back line too. Shite, if weeds and tmac hit their straps and petracca gets a rocket we could be one frightening team! Definitely flying over for the first game next year. And the last game of the AFL final series!

I'm definitely good with the idea of trading a 2019 first rounder for a late-ish 2018 (say mid teens) and possible swap of our pick 28 to enable us to potentially pick 3 players before bidding for Toby Bedford. Not sure if this can be arranged but it would definitely add interest for tomorrow night/Friday morning.

One additional reason to trade out next years 1st round for this years draft is that from next year we may be looking at trades for some players in which we will require an early pick for.

Im only thinking that if things are going very well from next year, we will encounter salary cap issues along the way.

Or simply our  2019 1st Rnd pick, for a late 2018 1st Rnd pick, and maybe  some small change... keeping our P28.   Some clubs with many early picks, might like to spread them out, entering the 2019 draft, with extra's ?

How about GWS’ pick 11 and 52, for pick 23 and next years 1st rounder?

That's interesting, you mentioned GWS's P-11... as i browsed the draft order last night, and imagined P-11 as being dee-sirable, and maybe getable ??

Now you post this.  Its like a sort of dejavue for moi.

Does anyone think we might package up picks 23 & 28 for an early-mid teens pick during tomorrow nights draft?

I think we need 2 or 3... U-18's introduced onto our list...  to follow thru behind our young guns, of Viney Oliver Angus, etc.

I'd be starting to form that second wave of newbies, as I've stated before earlier in the season... to come on behind our new breed.

And coincidentally, just as Jason Taylor has just indicated on the Demons website... needless to say, I do like the way JT operates.

 

I think we're in great hands, between him and Viney Snr.

GWS give us they're 2018  P-11...  & they're 2019 2nd Rnd pick.

D's give GWS our 2019 1st Rnd pick...  & our 2018 P-28... & our 2019 3rd Rnd pick

After the first round I believe the discount becomes 197 draft points

So pick 54 can match any pick up to 41 straight up.

Adding in pick 61 allows up to match any pick up until 34.

Sydney have 26, 33, 38, 39, 40 most of which will be swallowed up by 1 player.

North have 42, 47, 48, 49 and 58 most of which will be used on 2 players.

Collingwood have 41, 44, 57, 59 and 60 to use on 2 players.

Pick 54 and 62 will likely end up as something like pick 48 and 53. When added to a discount that's enough to match pick 26

wow you are unbelievable

Not a great result for us. Taylor said we wanted mids, but the quality mids expected to be around our pick all got snapped up last night. Was really hoping for O’Halloran. Seemed a very Melbourne person; competitive, leader, ball winner, explosive, hit scoreboard. GWS got a winner there.

Bytel might be one of our picks now?

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
