  • 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.


Exactly what we need!

Yes, I know its been said before, but I still think its intersesting, especially with Gill's performance today!

we need a quality target up forward:

Nick Gill, what a great game he had today, 20 disp, 11 marks, 5 goals!

A good solid ruckman who can kick goals:

Darren Jolly

A midfielder who can play inside & outside, and hurt the opostion by foot, and kick goals:

Scott Thompson (still hurts I know, but was always gonna go..)

A midfielder/flanker, who has quality finishing and good disposal:

Travis Johnstone (still a good trade in hindsight, but, still..)

An older staunch defender, to lead and help develop the Garland, Martin/Warnock Brigade:

Nathan Bassett

Notice a common theme here guys?

Aint hindsight a wonderful thing...:)

Bit of tongue and cheek, but very interesting none the less!!

And don't forget, a little off track, as he was never a demon, but the Sewell for Ferguson trade (which WE backed out of, at last second, no matter what others have heard, thats what happened, Fergy wanted to stay, so we gave it up.. still really grates at me, but what are ya gonna do..

I'm not even going to bother pointing out the series of errors you've made, since this crap has all been done before.

But I think its fair to say that your post is not rated highly.

LOl!

Relax mate..

I said its tongue and cheek!!

and there are no errors!

I know its been said before, but Gill just looked so good today, I wanted to express it! :)

Even if you are wrong often enough, it still doesn't make it right.

Yeah, sure thing mate?

You guys the gestapo huh? :)

The point is, I find it amusing that they are all pretty much what we need!

The moves were right at the time, I acknowlege that, Im not even saying I want them back, merely that its ironic!

GEEZ! its a post on a board, relax..

Im not here trying to earn your so called "high rating".. what a high school comment..

Were supporters of the MFC, im sick of all this badgering, no real need for it!

ESP in this case..

Mate, do an ex-Freo team

Lloyd, Mcphee, White, Phil Matera, Jeff Farmer, Peter Bell, Trent Croad, Andrew Mcleod, James Clement, Paul Medhurst and pick 8, Polak, Simmonds, Brodie Holland and Jess Sinclair

Yes, i know about Farmer and Bell, but this still makes great reading

Yes, I agree..

But this is a demons board!

We actually havent given away that many players, thus ironic the few we have, are what we need, thats my point!

i probabbly wouldn't have put travis johnstone in their myself, he was a bit of a high hoper for himself, in other words, when he was bad, he was absolutely crap! But when he was good, he was a chris judd...

Not in Chris Judd's orbit.

If you're going to defend you innane "point" then you're more silly than i thought, i thought you were having a laugh.

Hear Hear.

well, I sorta was, I was being very tongue & cheek!

But I got on the back foot because some people are just seriously frustrated in life, thus they seem to wanna shoot others down so quickly, its quite amusing in itself!

PS:

Lookup the word innane, before u mis-use it again! :)

I'll use the word idiotic then.

You cannot speak rubbish, then pass it off as "tongue in cheek" and then get "on the back foot"

Basically you want people to read your post, laugh at you and the complete lack of substance you've put forward, before realising it's just "tongue in cheek" and not be critical of you? You can't be serious. To what end would you like the thread to have gone? People "shot you down" because your post was useless

Much of what you say is inane, and that is something that is "1. lacking sense, significance, or ideas; silly: inane questions.

2. empty; void. 3. something that is empty or void, esp. the void of infinite space"

You'll probably get a laught then that in the Age's match report votes, aside from Morton topping the list, Armstrong was WC's best... listed as

7 Armstrong (Melb)

Now thats funny.

Was one of the few Eagles to put in and was clearly their best.

Was pretty poorly treated by our previous Coach in my opinion.

How was he treated badly?

He wasn't very good and so we delisted him. Did he want a gold watch?

Armstrong was OK on the weekend, but I don't think he any certainty to stay on West Coast's list next year. Actually, I'd say the odds are against him.

Completely agree.

Armstrong reminds me of Godfrey's performances. People rave when is a 3/10 and the rest of team is 2/10.

Nevertheless AFL has richly reward Armas for being a fringe player.

I think he was treated badly in not getting the chances I thought he deserved. He was often the first one dragged and played mainly in that ball magnet position of permanent forward pocket.

In my opinion Armstrong was much better than OK on the weekend. He was very good.

I am not saying he is the next Judd and he probably didn't ask for a gold watch either, he actually got a gold premiership medallion, lucky as he probably was.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
