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 Jesse Hogan

Cant believe how little some posters know about biscuits.....

To rate Milk Arrowroots as worthy of being on that list says to me you couldn't pick a biscuit from a cupcake.

Seriously, im losing my faith in Melbourne supporters.

Total nonsense. It's a non-offensive biscuit and its versatility is endless for instance crumbling them up to make rumballs, a famous Layzie family recipe.

But hey by all means continue to twist your Oreos or any of the other cardboard on this list. Seems some people have a lot to learn about biscuits..

I think a few are underrating how good a 23yo who has missed a couple of years of footy will be.

I know you don't like statistical comparisons but maybe an interesting maturity comparison is Jack Reiwoldt who was a petulant, sulking, selfish player at a similar age.

We're not losing Jack Watts here, this is a serious talent.

We need to be well compensated if he moves on.

I fully understand the sentiment rjay,..really I do . Talent is talent...and talent alone..   His application is not consistent. He may well have a few more gears there....  but he'd need to engage the clutch.  He has a problem with it slipping ;)

You’ll never find less of a watts fan than I - but lacking in talent he was not. Highly talented in fact. All came down to work rate with him, which is starting to looking the same with hogan in some ways, but hogan has already far surpassed anything we ever got out of watts.

So to make an Arrowroot palatable, you have to mix it with other stuff.... kinda reinforces my point. By itself its the very definition of vanilla. Its the type that can only kick one sided and it has no tricks.  

Stick to Football Layzie, you re clearly out of your depth when it comes to biscuits.

Not I hope before I can mount a detailed argument in favour of the neglected squashed fly biscuits.

And while we’re at it, I want to know whatever happened to Uneeda crackers and Bacon Thins.

Just looking at Steven May BnF results, in 2017 finished 9th, this year didn't make the top 10. Pick 5?

On form, he's not worth a first round pick, let alone pick 5. He's not in the top 5 full backs in the league at present. He's been poor-average for the past 1-2 years. Most believe that's due to not wanting to be where he is now, but there's the chance he's just not capable of playing the way he did a few years ago. 

If all we got for the best young key forward in a decade was an average full back and a token pick I'd be very disappointed.

Well it might be vanilla but people still like vanilla ice cream don't they? :p

i'm guessing the deals essentially hinge on beams trade happening

my guesses are:
- beams and 2018 third round pick to pies for 2018 first rounder (currently pick 18) and future first 
- 5 and pick 18 from bears to freo for neale
- 5 and pick 23 to melbourne for hogan
- 5 to crows for 8 and 13
- 8 and future third to gc17 for may and kk
- may and kk for pick 5, future 3rd rounder

net results:
- pies get beams and the filth's 2018 third rounder
- bears get neale and pies' future first
- freo get hogan, pick 18
- crows get pick 5
- gc17 get 8 and mfc's future third 
- melbourne get may, kk, pick 13 and pick 23

Am I going crazy but in what world is Lachie Neale worth more than Jesse Hogan? 

Like seriously.... 

1 is a decent mid who is an accumulator who has happened to win 2 B & F's at a rabble club whilst never coming top 10 in the Brownlow. 

the other is a 23 year old key forward who has the best numbers at this age as any key forward in the league. Once in a generation player. The thought that Freo will get Hogan & Change for Neale makes me want to spew. 

I simply do not get it....

    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
