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.

I’ll be tuning in tonight, purely to hear us being congratulated for winning the 2021 premiership.

One of the results of the Covid19 pandemic is that it will take a while before the outcome of last year’s AFL National Draft can be judged. And if 2020 turned out to be an enigma for recruiters then t

How nice is it that the draft night is not one of the biggest things on our footy calendar?!  We are not having to find the club’s saviour.

We need a Development Ruckman on our books with the Bradtke experiment coming to an end.

Perhaps we should look at some tall bloke that works at a pizza place and smokes a few durries on the side?  Last one of those we drafted turned out all right!

Elite indicators apparently.  Don't know why they don't include those activities at draft camp?

Great get for this club.

Big physical 195cm 88kg key forward who has also played down back. Had some insane numbers in the back end of the year in the colts level as a noted goal kicker.

Welcome Jacob.

Future replacement for Steve May in a few years when he fills out a bit more potentially?

Or even Tommy Mac/BBB?

Hoping all the aforementioned have a fair few more quality seasons left in them yet, but given the reality of how long it take most big men to mature, I see this as some pretty schrude succession planning by the club to get an elite big man on board and start developing him.

Can't believe Blake Howes is still on the board, along with other top 20 faves: Butler, Sonsie, Johnson, Goater.

Very boring night regarding live-pick trades.

and Tigers have 3 picks coming in the next 9, they could replenish very nicely

well I'll have a crack at JT's needs basis for tonight, it's between Jacob Van Rooyen and Blake Howes for mine. FFWD or a hybrid forward of the Gunstan mould. Tomorrow night might throw up Toby Conway or Jack Williams Ruck vs FFWD/ruck. Then Taj, keep the other pick for a train on or Andy MW as a Cat B rookie.

Good call.

Geelong also in a good spot as they have:  24, 25, 32, 34 and 36 so they could plug their age gap quite quickly especially with this being a very even draft in that 20 to 40 range.

Richmond has 28, 29 and 30.  

Hawthorn also in a good spot with 23 and 26 but their list is a bit of a mess so unlikely to make much impact for a few years.

Has anyone found an updated draft order listing?

Still can't see one on the AFL website...

My guess is we now have picks 38, 42 and 50 which will become 49 after Saints match an NGA bid for Owens. 

Some good value there.

A good year to have a bunch of picks in this range.

Thinking that Richmond and Geelong could both use a young ruck which may make Conway out of our reach.

Will be interested to see who will get with 38.

Snap!  Just made the same comment in the 'pick 38' thread.

Also really not looking forward to all the ‘swooping’ and ‘pouncing’ when clubs are reported on for their selections.

Silly me I forgot about the ‘snubbing’ , ‘snaring’ and the ‘snapping up’

    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.
