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.

I have watched 3 entire games that KK played in this year and to be honest remain completely clueless as to what we think he brings to the team. 

I know this years form may not represent his “potential” and I haven’t really seen much of his best year when he was runner up in their B&F other than a few highlights but I’m really not convinced he is the right fit. I really hope I’m wrong and do have confidence in our FD these days to make good choices but this feels like another Harley Balic potentially 

I wish him all the best and hope he can turn his football career around quickly 

Well one of those 3 was when we played GC second time around and we gave them such a shalacking that hardly anyone in the whole GC team got a kick, so KK's underwhelming performance in that game is hardly surprising.  Imagine saying that about a MFC game 3 or 4 years ago, how times have changed for the better.

Having concussion problems is quite from having depression and motivational problems like Balic, not that he was that much of an issue for the MFC anyway.  I think that worked out ok for both parties as it was.  We knew what we might have been up for, so only had him contacted for a year, so no huge damage done with things ending as they did.  I do have much better expectations for KK though.

Angus Brayshaw showed some really promising signs in his first year (2015).  Due to injuries and concussion issues his next two years were disappointing.  He lost his aggressive attack on the footy and just didn't look the same promising player.  Demon Andrew, or whatever he's now called,  potted him every second week.

When he finally got some confidence and continuity in his game and was played in his best position (on-ball) he shone.

You don't lose your natural talent.  I'm looking forward to seeing what Kolodjashnij can do with confidence in his body.  At 23 he's the perfect age to come to the club.

Not sure what you mean?

As steak knives to the May trade, this is as good as it gets. Former pick 5 who has already proved himself to be a good player at AFL level. Get him past the concussion/neck issues and we've got another Brayshaw on our hands (in terms of possible impact). KK's skillset and physical attributes make him a potential elite footballer. I hope he can realise his potential and pick up his early career form where he finished second only to Ablett in their BnF (ahead of Lynch, May and other very good footballers). We're crying out for a good wingman to compliment our tough inside midfielders, and he could be the perfect option there.

Looks good in the red and blue!

I remember watching him in his second season and being very impressed and am therefore pleased we've got him.  But the unbridled optimism being shown by Demonlanders should be tempered a little I think.  If KK was really as good as is being made out why was he traded?  Why were GCS happy to see him go and why wasn't there any competition for his services?

I don't know the answers but the fact the questions remain makes me hesitant to go all in on him being a success.  It seems to me there is more to the story than just the concussion issues but we may never know.  Like the majority, I'm happy with the pickup and think it has lots of upsides but there is a fair chance it will fail otherwise the particular deal wouldn't have been done.

Looking a bit porky around the face yes, but give it a month and he'll be fine.

He’s always had a moon-face. 

I’d be shocked if he coasted away while on leave knowing he had new teammates and coaches to impresss.

Regardless, i think both he and May are in for a rude shock when they realise our training standards are elite.

Maybe a bit harsh based on a photo, but doesn't look like the physique of someone who has been a professional athlete for 4 years. 

My thoughts on his actual play and his recruitment are similar to BB, I loved him in his second season but he was a shell of his former self this season.  

Not sure if he has come back early or this is the week players entering their 5th season are due back, but hoping he has something to prove and a big pre season ahead of him.

He wasn't even offered a contract at GC, and if not for being steak knives, would've been a token 3rd or 4th rounder in exchange. As you say seems there's more to it. Hopefully works out for him/us though. We need a gem after being screwed over for Hogan.

There are some players that no matter how many weights they lift, or how fit they are, they just don’t look it. Or I should say, they don’t look as ripped as some others.

I’m not too concerned though, he won GC’s 2km time trial last preseason in 29 degree heat before the headaches kicked in again around R4. With the strength and conditioning program I would guess he is on for his neck issue, I’m going to back him to do well in our preseason. ??‍♂️ ??‍♂️

Spoke to the son of a former junior coach of May, who described him as one of the most coachable boys he had coached.

Might not be the brightest player ever, but he clearly sees this move as his best chance of team success and will give it everything.

Somewhat similar to Kent, who was given away. That is the way of the AFL these days. 

Probably half of DL's thought we overpaid for for Milkshake and Pig, yet today probably all of us would think we got bargains.

I'm a fan of the young and the old working together. Do it all the time in my projects and I advocate for both. The old MFC website seemed very simple and lacked decent video content. I hope to see more of 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
