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.

The Riddler never sleeps. However the Riddler will only provide one more clue before trade period re-opens tomorrow: the player is from interstate. 

So we're getting too close, too soon.  Or you would tease us with more hints than just providing us with one hint, & very broad at that.

Interstate teams with wings are the Eagles, Crows and Swans. The 2 players I found from those lists who have obvious "ocean bound" names are Beech (beach) and Shaw (shore) from the crows. I'm still missing the butter knife bit but

Which player spreads both butter and his wings, yet remains ocean-bound?

The deal must involve a mega trade between goal coast, brisbane and the dees. Player in question, Pearce Hanley goes to the suns, rockiff to the dees, and draft picks to the lions. 

Hanley remains ocean bound as he just moves from brisbane to gold coast, bondi beach?. Spreads wings as he is a midfielder/winger (or because he came from Ireland on a plane?), and spreads butter could refer to kerryGOLD an irish company which produces diary including butter. 

Surely this must be it right? LOL a bit left field but the best i could do

You can get beech wood butter knives or butter presses. 

Not sure a mature age recruit is the key to our future though, even if he's a very handy player who would've played by now if not for being stuck behind the leagues best forward line.

On the Adelaide list Melbourne have expressed interest in Harry Dear son of Hawks premiership player Paul. Cannot see any connection to butter though.

Butter is pretty dear these days

This could be a trick - where are you located Riddler? If you are interstate, then the player could be Victorian.

Yes, the player is an Interstate insomniac. Tom ( the sleepwalker ) Rockliff (  african butterfly )

I read the riddle differently. Who on our list is ocean bound? If they go, we get something in return. Ocean destinations maybe West Coast, Gold Coast don't consider Brisbane coastal. The only name mentioned as trade bait is Lynden Dunn and maybe Vandenberg. So my answer is the player in question Lynden rather, than who we receive.

Sounds spot on dc - Salem's family own a restaurant or two so fair to say he has 'spread butter' at some stage!

Toby Nankervis? Currently at home in Tassie which is bound by ocean. Is a swan so has wings to spread. The letters for KNIVES is in his name which can spread butter, or there is a Toby Knife. Bit obscure I know

No, that's Toby Jugs... he'll get those as he gets older.

Jake Lever, a crow with wings (whom we had very high interest in 2014 National Draft)

Lever 1: Knife to spread butter

Lever 2: On a vessel, the vertical separation between the lines of force buoyancy and weight is known as the 'righting lever'

Where can I collect my meat tray?

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
