  • 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.

Jeff White has been a fantastic player for us. He is much smaller than the average ruckman yet yet for the past ten years he has helped propel us into the finals many times. When he was playing well we were playing well. He has had to endure horrible injuries and showed tremendous courage. No, he is not the physical type ruckman who imposes himself and intimidates. That sort of aggression does not seem to be in his nature. I see him as a true professional AFL player who prepared himself physically for every season and consistently did what was asked of him and more. To see him slip out the back door without fanfare and acknowledgment would be a great travesty. Bailey is correct to experiment this year, and probably drop him on form, I hope he gets a number of good games before the season's end and we can send him off properly. Yze as well.

The last round could see quite a few retirees running around. I'm sure a send off will be arranged

Jeff White has robbed the MFC for 2 years for taking match payments .

Besides hit outs straight oppsitions chest is not even sighted.

Has never played man on man, wheen has ball stops till every one floods back.

Once was an effective player now a liability

It,s time MFC made the hard decessions and cut their losses never see successfull clubs carrying players like we do.

jeff white has earned his match payments, he may not have been as influential in the last few years but to say he has robbed the MFC for 2 years is an insult to a great servent of the club

Because we keep our great servants so long past their use by date is half the reason we are shite.

IT is a business and about money and winning, only the toughest will survive

MAKE THE HARD DECESSIONS

or slowly die.

Do you actually mean decessions (In which case its just your grammar that is pants)? Or can you just not spell?

Anyway, you put your case forward very brutally. I'll concede that White has, on the whole, been poor for the past two years, but to say he has robbed us is pretty ordinary, and an insult to what he has given us over the course of his career. Recently, some of his weaknesses have come to prominence as his strengths dwindle, but I think he is still a contributor, in some way, more often than not.

Sorry Miss Diablo I will write it on the board 100 times.

Fired up is right, hope you keep some water handy.

You make a fair point and when we look back this club has hung on to "tradeable" players far too long.

I think Robert Walls wrote an article last year about our club and it's trading options.

Most of us loved Travis but everyone agrees it was right to trade him.

Over the last 2-3 years a smarter club may well have looked closer at White, Yze, Bruce, Robertson, Green and maybe even Wheatley, Miller and Sylvia.

Although I'm a fan of the last 2 and reckon they'll be good football players for us. I think Daniher became too friendly with these older players and couldn't see the wood for the trees

Of course this is really easy in hindsight and I probably wouldh've been shocked if these players had been traded. But 2 years ago we wouldh've got some great draft picks.

White has been a great player for the club. Iti s sad to talk about the ned being near for such a talent such as White, but the truth is his time with us is nearly over.

Naita will need game time, and I assure you if we get pick #1, some ruck spots will be made for him (and possibly robbie warnock)

Farewell to Whitey, who has been a great player for us. The future begins now.

On Friday night at 6:26 I received a text from a fellow demon fan telling me that Jeff White had been dropped.

About time. This decision and the recent one to drop Yze are hopefully drawng a line in the sand in terms of the intensity and consistency expected of all our players.

The future starts now.

Go Dees.

Not sure if anyone saw it, but in yesterday's Property magazine there was an article about Jeff White selling his house in Sandringham, and in the article he was talking about his contract expiring at the end of the year and how he has always planned to retire in QLD where he has another property.

That is as close to someone indicating their impending retirement as it gets.

He was a fantastic player for our club and in general, although he has not played as well over the last few years in his hey day he was an All Aust ruckman and one of the first players picked. Is it his fault that we have no other ruckman once we traded our two next best?

Give the bloke a break for farks sake.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
