  • 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.

He is a gun but unless we find a way to trade up to a pick in the top 3, then he will not be available.  I have an inkling once we receive the Jackson picks that we will have a crack at getting WC’s pick 2.  Just an opinion. 

He could fall, I think if picks in the top 3 to 6 don’t change and with West Coast the main ones looking for a taller forward he may just be a surprise who falls

1 Father son Ashcroft

2. North - I think they’ll go the big mid in Tsatas

3. GWS - mids needed for those leaving so I expect Wardlaw (who’s uncle is a Dees fanatic) to go

4. West Coast - IMO they will take Cardman based on what I’m hearing 

5. Essendon- tall defender or mid IMO- Clark

I don’t expect Sheezel to fall any further than this, Crows will give up their first for Rankin so if we want him pick 6 or 7 at worst is needed

I reckon still a good chance North or GWS go Cadman - both with new coaches - this is when you can afford to take a big man that will eventually become a focal point.

Wardlaw was meant to be rated almost as highly as Ashcroft but keeps pinging hamstrings.  So comes down to how much a club believes they can manage the injury.  Potentially a Chris Judd type scenario.

Surely Essendon will take Sheezel if he's still there (I think he'll go in the first 4)

I don’t see the Bombers taking him considering they have Perkins, Stringer on their list and likely to get Davey FS

You’d be mad to make draft decisions due to the presence of Stringer. Perkins and Sheezel both end up as mids as much as forwards, and they move Davey around too. I wouldn’t be worried about that combination

Reads happy to go to WC in Perth.  Wonder about Western Sydney?

He’d become the first GWS player to live in Western Sydney if he did. Players leave GWS for generic go home factor, cash and opportunity. Sydney (either club) is still the best city to be an AFL player if you have a good career

What's that based on?

Sorry I should’ve said in my personal opinion. Take out factors like team success, crowds, post footy media careers and family and go  by what the cities have to offer - anonymity, climate, activities, beaches - I’ll take Sydney any day. As long as you can afford the $6 lattes.

Essendons midfield lacks a hard at it big bodied player and has for a while. There defence lacks talls. That’s why I have the opinion I do

North appears to have set their sights on Harry Sheezel - a freak forward who ticks all the boxes. This is why

A fair appraisal of this top prospect but if you knew Harry, you wouldn’t use the word ‘obsessed’. The correct word is ‘focused’ - his head is on his shoulders and for the last 4 or 5 years he’s worked hard to get where he is now. I think he’ll be happy to stay in Melbourne as well.

    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,

    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
