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.


Welcome to Demonland - Pick 17

Would love Sinn if he makes it down there. I still think that Wilmot is the guy we take unless someone drops. Wilmot is a Taylor and Goodwin player through and through 

Agreed.  Unlikely options (unlikely to be available) are Andrew, Sinn, Sonsie or Goater. 

Likely available options possibly are JVR, Chesser, Roberts or Wilmot.

Knevitt seems like a Goodwin type

There's extended footage of Goater where he looks a bit like a Sam Frost midfield equivalent

Not sure if he slips down to pick number #17 in the 2021 AFL National Draft but I am definitely keen on the Demons grabbing Josh Sinn from the Sandringham Dragons.

 

Here is a news story about him: https://www.afl.com.au/news/574499/no1-draft-pick-contender-josh-sinn-piles-on-13kg-in-six-months

 

13 kg in six months - sounds like me in lockdown 🤭

There's probably a joke about Christians and Sinn to be made, but it's not as if I'm the type to do that.

As I recall there was a Cardinal Sinn in the Phillipines a while ago

Indeed, the Cardinal of Manila was Cardinal Sin. I still remember that at the same time there was another public figure in the Philippines by the name of Miss Concepcion.

Chesser's teamate in blake howes likes good too ,  190 cm forward / wing , my first thought after seeing his highlights was he moves a little like fritta .

I think we could do with another med forward especially with Melksham at the end of his career 

Sorry not sure how to post his highlights

I'd be happy with whoever we go with. Taylor has a track record you can trust. If your looking for depth in positions we need a ruck, key forward, midfielder and back pocket player.

One side advantage of holding a pick inside 20 is it slightly increases the chance of Andrew falling out to 21. (We won't get him otherwise.)

As a hypothetical, what happens if we use 17, then Mac is available at 21? Do we have the points to match or will we need to make a bunch of draft-day pick swaps to make it work?

We may be able to game the system if Mac is still available at 17, which will be 19. Bid on Fahey so GWS match, then we have pick 20. Select who we want then Mac can be bid matched. Very unlikely he is not gone by then though.

I don’t think that’s a likely scenario because by 19 GWS doesn’t have any picks left to go before 20 anyway. There’s also a chance that GWS won’t match themselves.

Think we’ll be close or be able to swap a future fourth rounder to make it work. It will also depend on where Woewodin goes. I don’t think it matters that much if we get pushed back a pick or two next year anyway given we have already traded out of the first round.

From those highlights: fantastic overhead, good agility, skills a bit suspect.

Agree. It's bloody tough to judge with such limited footage though. Even some of the more highly touted picks have only solid highlight tapes given the lack of games.

I think we will likely go for one the rated talls KPP's if we see some slippage at 17.

Would not be surprised to see us package up our 30's and 40's pick to move higher if there is slippage for a player we want.

Given the number of available list spots i would not be surprised to see another delisted player picked up for depth.

I'm still keen on Josh Sinn with pick #17 in the 2021 AFL National Draft.

Here is his highlights package shown below.

 

However, until it is closer to the Draft at the end of November I really won't know who we will look to pick.

Either way, I have faith in Jason Taylor finding another gem for the Demons.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.

    DEMONLAND: Good evening, Demon fans and welcome to the Demonland 2024 Grand Final Podcast … It’s been a beautiful last day of September and how sweet it is to bring you our coverage of all things that matter about the great Demon resurgence which we’ve seen over the past six or seven months.
