  • 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.


Who Will We Get With Pick 4?

Why is Richmond picking up Cale a condition of West Coast trading Mitch? The only party that could impose that condition, and even then it would only be a gentlemans agreement, is West Coast. Mitch is hardly in the position to say 'I'll only go to Richmond if you pick up Cale'. And if WC were pushing this condition, then you could be dead-set certain they are after Cotchin.

l reckon they will take one of the west aussies

i'm starting to hear so much about Masten, that it seems he's clearly the best midfielder after Cotchin and Morton.

if WestCoast dont pick this kid up, we should definitely take him.

runs a beep test of 14.12, springs in under 3 seconds. in the archetypal inside and outside midfielder. is a ball magnet, and a genuine footballer

And apparently he has OP

In that case, I wouldnt tough him with a 20 foot pole

I didn't really want this bloke when I first saw reviews of him, but boy is he warming on him

RHYS PALMER

If we can't get Cotchin, then this is our bloke

At 14 I would love Alex Rance, but would settle for either Henderson, Grant or McEvoy

We have all identified the holes in our list, one was a ruckman, we now have 3 young ruckman and White, we have two years for Jamar, PJ and Meesen to step up to be our No1 Ruck.

Secondly are two key post CHf and CHB, do we look at Rance and Henderson

And last we need skillfull, fast midfielders to complement our hard young midfielders we have now. I think pick 4 should be used to get depending who is avaliable one of Palmer, Masten, Ebert, Cotchin or Morton all see to fit what we need. IMO this is the way to go get one of these guys, I will leave it to CAC and Bailey to decide.

In all honesty and i know i will be crucified for saying this, they will be looking to draft a CHB as we already have a CHF in miller. Now dont get me wrong i dont think miller is anything special, but bailey clearly sees something in him, he's the coach, thus my deduction skills then suggest that we will be after a CHB not a CHF.

If everything goes perfectly we will end up with- 4 cotchin

14 Rance

As someone who has never seen any of these players before I couldn't give an informed opinion on who we should draft. Suffice to say, I back CAC's judgment, so will be excited with whoever we get.

Unfortunately we have holes everywhere (Full back, full forward, CHF, quick outside midfielder, ruck) so I don't imagine we will fill them all with this draft. However, it is generally harder to find KPPs than midfielders, so I would be rapt if we fixed our spine in this draft and left the midfield for the next draft. I'm not saying we should go out of our way to draft big players, but rather that I hope the big players are the ones that are the best available when it comes to our picks. If they aren't, we should go for the midfielders.

Brett Ratten was just on SEN and stated they are split 2/2 on whether they should take Kruezer or Cotchin with Pick 1.

Like hell they are. I don't believe him for a second, especially with Carlton's attrocious ruck stocks.

If you were Carlton why would you get anything other than Kreuzer? They need a ruckman! They have an absolute two handful of midfielders, i heard it also mate but i think its just being said to take away the fact that its the kreuzer cup.

If Carlton took Cotchin and Richmond seem like they will take Cale Morton, which would the Eagles take out of Palmer or Kruezer? And we would get the one they didn't take. Looks pretty good for us either way. Hopefully Rance is still around at 14, and McEvoy/Henderson at 21.

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
