    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.

Hey Guys & Girls,

Been a long time since I have posted.

Just wondering if anyone has heard if the MFC might be lucky enough to grab a star in the PSD.

Rob Warnock's name has been thrown around and I agree it would be good to add him but we have all the bargaining chips there and we might be able to do a deal for a 5th round pick, so Freo gets something for him.

What about players like David Mundy (Freo) and Stephen Salopek (Port), Vic boys, would they be looking at coming home?

Keep up the good work on the site, I will try to post more regularly.

Hawthorn and Richmond are reportedly keen on Mundy, while Carlton are super keen on Warnock. Not quite sure that Melbourne will be able to lure either if they are entertaining offers from better teams.

Staker and McKinley from the Eagles are both out of contract (hmm, is Staker a Vic though? maybe NSW??). Ryan Murphy and Scott Thornton (a CC favourite) are also out of contract but I think will most likely stay on a 1 year deal.

Keep in mind that players have to agree to any trade they're involved in, and that they're out of contract. If Warnock wants to become a Demon then he'll become one, regardless of what Freo or any Victorian club come up with. It's all up to him now.

Obviously, but if Warnock is being offered similar opportunities both playing wise and financially to go to Carlton, he'd be silly not to look at it. He could be tapping the ball down to one of the most talented midfields in the league. Without being derogatory, unless he has a desperate desire to play with his brother, there's not a whole lot that's enticing about playing for Melbourne when you've got multiple offers in front of you.

Would Carlton have the room in their salary cap to throw big money around?

All based on rumours so far, but its pretty clear that Carlton are on the hunt for an out of contract player, so you would think that they would have enough money to spare. Couldn't be much more than we would offer though.

You would think that Robbie would want to be number 1 ruckman, he is sure to get that for a long time at the demons.

Still think we will get him easily.

You have to ask yourself why Warnock wants to leave Fremantle, if indeed he does. The two major reasons I could see would be to come home to Melbourne (the city), and to play as a club's number one ruckman, something he won't ever get at Fremantle. Don't underestimate that last one, we've had Simmonds and Jolly leave for that exact reason. That pretty much strikes Carlton off the list right there. In addition, he'll legally be able to get more money at Melbourne (Carlton would be paying $2M a season for Fev and Judd), and there will never be a better opportunity for him to play with his brother. If he wants to do that, now is the time, otherwise it'll never happen. I'm not saying he won't end up at Carlton, but if he does, the AFL should shut that corrupt entity down once and for all. There can be no doubt that something very suspect has happened if he ends up there.

Pick 19 for David Mundy.

Any takers?

Definitely not Pick 19. Would not be worthy of that Pick. If he is, then Green is worth a Top 10 pick.

Ask yourself, why would Freo trade him? Because Harv's believes he is no good for the future of Freo. Why should we think otherwise?

Because he's out of contract and wants to return to Victoria.

    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,
