Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

If true, I hope that we have got something from the AFL, for our loss and it is our loss made a little less if,  we trade 3 to someone.

There is no doubt at all, that GC have a better list and more upside, than we did, when we were constantly refused PP's.

They have a raft of young talent and if well coached, retained and developed, GC will rise up the ladder quickly, with the addition of several experienced players they apparently are securing this off season.

yep, but that's what the afl wants

we aren't important - gc17 are

Interesting about Crouch Chaser. Would he be worth the Suns’ late first rounder (17 as it stands) in your opinion? You’d think the Crows would play a bit of hardball. If indeed it does eventuate, adding Ellis and possibly Crouch along with Picks 1 & 2 would have them improving next year one would think.

I think that's about the mark for Crouch, Crow's may push for something else in return, but the major question mark with Crouch is durability. They'll probably ask for Lukosious. GC will be on the improve pretty quickly.

It's not as if it was to be unexpected. Let's go fishing with pick 3. Try and go after King?

I was in the boat that we keep pick 2 for Anderson. Now that we are not getting it I would talk to GWS about splitting this pick. They need an early pick for Green.

Give them pick 3 and our 3rd for there 1st two picks and maybe a Xavier O' Halloran or Jye Caldwell.

I don't think Ben King will head back to Melbourne this year. If he decides to then i would be all for giving the suns pick 3. That would give the sun pick 1,2 and 3 in the draft.

I know we won’t get anything, but we are actually losing something, that without AFL interference we would most likely have, Noah Anderson.

PS. Why do GC DESERVE anything?

Same as when we got priority picks.. the next teams lose out. Its a stinker of a concept and im dirty at it as well but its the AFL rule son the run and not a lot we can do about it.

SUNS need the help, they are a long way off any success and money has been invested in that side, they need all the help they can get.

Splitting the pick will take us out of the top 10, i dont think that's good enough, to give up pick 3 position, we would need to get back inside the top 10, possibly top 8, but cant see that happening now.

Take pick 3, get Young a beautiful left footer who moves well, take Langdon, take Tomlinson, go hard for Elliott. its a good hand.

Let them perish. It’s a dumb idea. Two teams in a Rugby League state. The AFL is run by money hungry morons who are wrecking the game. Next we’ll have a team based in China or Sierra Leone.

The AFL should have also helped Fitzroy and South Melbourne and they didn't.

Our record was much worse than gc's when we applied for a pp a few years back. All the reasons given for our rejection can be applied to gc. AFL making it up as they go as usual. Disgraceful. And MFC wont say a word about it.

It is what it is, if it helps them then fair enough, if not then we can attempt to trade for Rowell or Anderson in 2 years time.

Have a shot at Ben King, if that doesn't come off i'd try and bring in a Young/Ash along with Langdon, Tomlinson and possibly Elliott.

Unless the deal is too good to refuse, i wouldn't 'split' the pick.

 

What upsets me the most is that we are in the position of being affected by not getting the #2 draft pick in the first place (we shouldn't be anywhere near the bottom of the ladder, and yet we are).

Just a refresh:

2012 priority pick reform https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_draft_pick#Priority_round_history

Despite the best efforts of the AFL, the priority draft pick became controversial in the late 2000s and early 2010s because of the potential for corruption, as it could be automatically awarded based on the performance of the club over the past two seasons with a defined cut-off point (16.5 premiership points or four wins).

In the 2012 pre-season, the AFL, with the unanimous support of the 18 clubs, removed the provision for priority picks automatically based upon finishing results, and with the AFL commission retaining the power to award priority picks on a discretionary basis.[1]

To allow for this situation, a formula has been developed that takes into account such factors as:

  • premiership points that a club has received over a period of years (with greater weight to recent seasons),
  • a club's percentage (points for/points against x 100) over a period of years (another indication of on-field competitiveness, with greater weight to recent seasons),
  • any finals appearances that a club has made in recent seasons,
  • any premierships that a club has won in recent seasons, and
  • a club's injury rates in each relevant season.

To eliminate the perception of tanking, the formula for priority picks is kept confidential by the AFL Commission.

 

2012 we won 4 matches (2 against GWS who had just come in)

2013 we won 2 matches (1 against GWS and 1 vs WB by 3 points)

2014 we won 4 matches (expansion teams beat us lol).

End result = 10 wins from 66 matches, 3 against GWS which probably doesn't count. But we did have Hogan in the VFL and Clarke was injured at the time (and never came back/injured/traded).

I'm bitter that they get the pick, as i want equality. If they then trade it for say Brad Crouch i'll be even more annoyed (give them pick 10/11 instead - which they can give to Adelaide in that case - not hurting the bottom teams who missed the 8). This could be a very quick turnaround for them considering all the injuries they have #GCPremiers2020???? :P

I don't get it. Why do we keep getting screwed? How does it work?  Don't we have a representative on the board (or whatever they call this monstrosity that keeps fu#$*ing us? )

I'm a twenty year member, a fifty year supporter and I'm close to bowing out of the whole corrupt shebang 

 

The AFL is typified by the slimy spiv Demetriou and his post-AFL career (for those who don't know he was on the board of one of those rip-off private education companies that were exploiting the poor and disabled - should be in gaol but i presume he's lolling around his Toorak mansion getting fat)

The thing is, none of the other sides care because it isn't happening to them. Simple as that. But the AFL are deadset corrupt.

I actually think the fact that Rowell and Anderson Both come from the Chargers and are close mates has pushed this decision over the line.

The AFL want players to stay up there and this is their best chance to do so.

I truly believe if the top 2 prospects were from different states, the decision would be different.

I spoke to someone involved at Oakleigh on the weekend and he believes the Suns may specifically target Chargers players this draft for this very reason.

Good post Wunders

What went against us was that we went through a lengthy investigation for tanking during that time.  And of course tanking is directly related to priority picks.  The sweetener is that we got pick 2 for Frawley in 2014 which sorta/kinda glossed things over.

Given the climate we were never going to be given a priority pick.  Of course,  a stack of other clubs tanked on numerous occasions (a total of 30+ times?) but it was better to scapegoat us rather than go after any other club.  Please the masses.

We had no friends at the top either. 

Probably best to move on really and what we need to do is find a way to build a great list despite all the restrictions.  Just find a way.

I've put my thoughts forward in the last few days along with many others but we need the club to be expansive with their ideas & actions ... re recruiting.

In simple terms we need to build a great list ... by hook or by crook.  We need to develop a ruthless edge in the process.  And it looks like we've finally cottened on to Free Agency.  That's taken a while.

I think the writing is on the wall with Ben King. GC might as well deal him this year for a premium.

GWS will be involved as well! Keen to get there hands on the Dees Pick and will pay the price. 

 

nah, we had our chance last year but went May,  when he comes home, and i mean when not if, he will get to the saints, even if the whole club has to move back to seaford.  only half joking.

I'm sick of the club  and supporters playing the victim card.

We were in a PF 12 months ago. We are screwing ourselves, not the AFL.

Chances are (going on previous draft history) the best kid in the draft won't come from the top 2 picks, thus we have a chance of drafting him with the #3 pick (not that i think we will have much luck there either - but you never know).

With so many places to fix on our list, the difference between pick 2 & 3 will be negligible if our aim is to improve our team as a whole.

not to mention the other clubs behind us all get shunted down the list, not just us.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel.

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
