    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.

We have such a similar draft hand this year as Port did that Night. Let’s hope we can pull off something similar.

Do you think we'll go big or small? I suppose it depends on what next year's crop will produce. The 7 that seem to pop up around our 2 picks are Curtin, Sanders, Leake, Caddy, O'Sullivan, Windsor, and Wilson. We could easily get Curtin and Caddy sureing up CHB and CHF for years to come. O'Sullivan and Caddy would sure that up as well. Then we have the midfielders in Sanders, Leake, Windsor and Wilson.

Reid will go 1 then it depends on North wanting a McKay replacement in Curtin or they go with the next best players in Duursma and McKerser both of them won't go past the Hawks pick and Watson won't go past the Dogs pick.

What a bad draft year 2020 was. I dont think Bowey is top 10 material but looking at his competition, nothing screams out. 

Im not sold on JUH just yet - i get he is still developing, but he is starting to take a Max King trajectory in that we expected greatness, just wasnt able to deliver. 

Errol Gulden for me will end up being #1 from 2020 draft. The kid is an absolute workhorse that is going to win a brownlow.

That was an excellent draft class though. This year's appears closer to 2013s.

Pickett is a top-3 small forward in the AFL at present, in the mix with Green, Cameron, Breust and Rankine.

Rankine was taken at pick 3 and traded to the Crows for pick 5 despite him being a Gold Coast traditional wantaway and nominating only one club.

There's maybe a 10% margin between Pickett and Rankine, and I say that with my Rankine Ranking being very high.

Pickett definitely ahead of Weightman, while Young and Ash are very good but not yet outstanding in roles which are more suited to younger players to begin with. Being a 'true' small forward with serious pressure responsibilities, especially in a very disorganised forward line lacking tall structure, is a very hard gig.

He'd be rated around 6 to 8 in any one of those re-run drafts and his stocks may yet rise.

    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
