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.


Go and get Gaff!

I really doubt Gaff is heading to the Dee's. I wouldn't be against bringing a good player to the club, but i don't see the logic in chasing an older mid when a younger one who is as good already will be available next season.

Who is the younger mid that will be a FA like Gaff and not cost us another 2 first round picks?

Different scenarios.

I've been told that a Melbourne player who lined up in the prelim will be at the Saints next year, but I don't know the name.

I can only guess Tyson, even though I doubt he's what they need.

Can you wrap that up in a riddle please Prodee?

All I've seen since the big Norf offer came to light is that it was them or nothing.

I am not completely across the FA process, but Gaff can go wherever he likes right?

Is he obligated in any way to go where WC want him to go?  e.g. a club that offers a sweetener vs a club that doesn't?

Is he obligated to go to whoever makes the biggest offer or can he decide to take a smaller contract and play for who he actually wants to?

He can choose the suitor, regardless of offer, but Eagles have the right to match

The Saints are casting the net far and wide, D Kent has had a medical eye cast over him by them.

He may not be, which I agree with you on, but I'm hearing Crows are showing some interest in Dunstan so maybe they are looking at Tyson as another insider

"Will be available" is such a far off Longshot. If gaff nominates us, we make it happen. Simple as that. I'm a believer in seizing the moment in regards to quality. It's why our FD took Petty in the draft. We didn't need a developing kPD, but they couldn't believe Petty slid to our draft pick so we had to seize the opportunity. In this case we do actually need gaff.

Would be funny if Billings came back in this trade.

To me Gaff is gone from WC as if he was staying he would be announcing it now, to give them a lift for the GF.

I would think that on monday or tuesday he will announce his preferred club.

According to Pro Dee's source that will be the Roos.

That will see a few dominos start to fall, as for one, the Eagles will be into Kelly, the Cats' one, big time.

This is going to be an interesting 3 weeks.

It might make Gaff's decision difficult if we got to within 100k of Norf's offer. Freeing up 800k by trading Hogan could help this

Agree we could be back in this now.

    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.
