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.


FAREWELL JEREMY HOWE

He is a restricted free agent as well, so I'll be interested to see if we match any offer made for him, or we have a certain amount we won't go over. It does mean that he may get more than his market value which will bump up the compensation we receive.

Howe has only been with us for 5 years, he is not a free agent

Sorry, this whole thing mucks me up all the time.

Can we match an offer from another club for him or can he just up and leave and we have to take the compensation we are given?

Aside from the obvious issue of sidelining all the kids who are unfortunate enough to be Dees fans, I'd like to see Howe go and for us to get something decent in return. I just don't see a spot in the side for him in a good structure, unless Roos will keep him at 3rd tall.

At worst he would provide versatile depth, something we are sorely lacking, as can be seen by some of the players getting a game at the moment. It would need to be something very decent, and not a draft pick, for me to be happy to trade him.

I don't understand the hate for Jeremy Howe on here

2014

1st for short kicks

5th for kicks

2nd for marks

1st for contested marks

2nd for rebound 50's

He is now playing in the forward line which is a much harder position and kicked 4 goals in the past 2 weeks

People get so carried away with draft/trade and what we can get for him that's it's not funny

He is 24 years of age has played 89 games and kicked 75 goals

I hope he re-signs and continues to get more consistent........I've just returned from Bali.....Demonland never changes, I might have to go back

So do I Boss dog however I get a strong feeling he wants out just the same a s a number of others in recent years.

They get tired of the constant losing.

Yes you have come home too early weather carp and we are playing Geelong at Geelong.

Ignore that stats and watch his impact on games. As an indicator 22 players are ahead of him the Demonland Player of the Year votes. Then ask how much you would be willing to pay for him?

He is inconsistent in his offensive and defensive intent and lacks football smarts and clean disposal. He always has been and does not appear to be better for the last 18 months development. He will not be the reason we play finals in the future but he is icing. I would not pay overs for a third tall highlight reel and would take a top 20 pick and run if available.

Are you really serious?.......You really take notice of Demonland Player of the year votes????

You would really take a pimply 18 year old for him????? Which would involve 2 to 3 years of development as we have seen with Stretch and ABN

You have to pay the cap for your players

So by your reasoning we should ignore all stats for all players and just watch for their impact on the game.....We wouldn't have a side.....Players have roles these days dictated by the coaches......He keeps getting a game so must be doing something right.

Without Mumford GWS will plummet - anyway pick 13 would be a good get (for Howe).

Strongly agree on both fronts. Pick 13 for Howe I would be outstanding for Melbourne ....... like Christmas in October!

Demonland's POTY is not a valid indicator of Howe. Laughable to suggest it is.

A lazy, one dimensional player. Look past the hangers and he's got nothing.

Stats against StKilda

17 possessions 9 kicks 7 handballs (7 Contested)

5 marks....6 tackles

1 goal 2 behinds

6 score involvements

Not bad for a high half forward.....Do you want me to compare with Garlett???(no bad press for him)

Howe can actually play. You want us to give up a known quantity for 'just a player'.

No thanks.

Yarran at his best v Howe at his best.

Yes please! And that's no disrespect to Howe.

He looks a little lost to me or even down on confidence. He has spent an entire pre-season preparing to follow up and excellent 2014 in the backline, only to now find himself switched forward again.

For someone who's always appeared to be a natural forward, he appears all at sea

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    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.
