  • 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.

End of year predictions - 2008.

We will finish 15th with 4 wins.

Retired Neitz, Holland, Yze, White

Trade no trades unless we get a first round pick for Sylvia(doubtful)

B&F Green

Our First pick Watts or Hurley(this guy is as solid as a rock and has future leader written all over him. If you get a chance to watch him play live today you will see)

We will look to make 5-6 changes to our senior list, Aussie will be promoted, I don't think Valenti will we will retain him as a rookie. That mean with the 4 retirements we need to delist 2 more players. Front runners to be delisted Carroll and Weetra. Robbo and Jmac will be promoted to Veteran status. That gives us 5 picks, 4 in the national draft and 1 in the pre-season draft. Rookies Spencer has to be on the list another year, Valenti will be retained, Aussie promoted and I think Zomer is borderline.

Season Underachiever: Adem Yze (I expected at least something!)

Best First Year Player: Wonaeamirri

Number One pick: Watts or Natanui/depends on Warnock (happy either way but will make up my mind tonight)

Delistings: Weetra, Carroll

7 out, Wona elevated, 5 National draft picks and pre-draft pick (hopefully Warnock or Prismall....)

We may also elevate Valenti and unload someone like Bode.

Green B&F.

Garland obivously most improved.

Finish 15th with 4 wins, ahead of WC on %.

Morton to earn a rising star nomination soon after returning.

Grimes to get one too (just 'cos that is how the story goes)

Wonaeamirri to be a podium finish in Rising Star Award, but not win it.

Will trade a third round pick for Warnock.

Wonaeamirri promoted, Valenti retained as Rookie.

Neitz, Yze, Holland, White retired.

Carroll, Bode delisted.

Picks 2, 18, 20, (36 traded for Wanrock), 52, 68.

No idea on who we'll pick.

Operating loss of 'just' $500,000 as opposed to the $1-1.5mil feared.

$2mil to be cleared off debt by the 'Debt Demonilition' Event.

time to bite the bullet , package up Sylvia and Rivers and go knocking on Choco Williams door. 2 Adelaide boys for first round pick. love Rivers as a player, takes lots of defensive marks when others would spoil but no good to us playing 4 games a year.

Roost it - I must laugh mate.

Green and Wheatley are both in the top 5 players at the club. With Green probably top 2.

Why would we trade them both to Sydney, who's first pick will only be around 11, 12 or so.

I know Junior has another year in him (or seems to) but do you think he might also pull the pin?

I doubt we'll contend for a flag next year & i think he'd be the type to want to get out before he's pushed out.

Also the type that would understand its time to give another young guy an opportunity

no?

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
