  • 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.

Delisted Essendon player Andrew Lee has been reported on Demonology too be going to do a pre-season with the Dee's.

And is Colin Garland's cousin..... But I thought they were all cousin's down in Tassie?

I dont know alot about him. Except he is injury prone, is 196cm, 94kg and look's a bit like Dean Brogan. Not sure on the last one!

He might be worth a punt if very cheap!

Would surely be worth drafting as a rookie. Possibly even through the PSD or as a late national draft pick depending on the people that are available. Personally I'd like to think that Warnock, Ray, O'Keefe or Prismall may be available in the PSD instead.

He definately won't be picked up in the National Draft by us. He is more likely to come as a Rookie selection or as a late PSD draft selection, I'd personally favour a rookie listing given his injury woes thus far.

Just a little more on Andrew, I saw alot of his junior football when he played with the Burnie Dockers but mostly with the Tassie Mariners, in which he was captain and easily one of the most dominant big men in his 2 years, being used initially in a defensive role but then as a key lead up CHF.

He is a extremely athletic for 196cm and was 4th overall in the agility testing at his draft camp. He has a strong pair of hands and generally picks the right option by hand and foot, not unlike his cousin.

The down side have been his injuries which have restricted his chances at the top level. When he was fit and firing in 2006, he was dominant in Bendigo's side and was promoted and played well enough to suggest he had a future in the 4 or 5 games he put together before he was injured and didn't return.

Like I said, he couldn't hurt as a rookie selection to see if he can get his body right.

You are in actual fact wrong Demon_Tingles.... Andrew Lee is indeed the cousin of Colin Garland. Colin's father who he has nothing to do with is brothers with Andrew Lee's father, thus making them biological cousins.

haha prbably because he is right footed mate

AFL players SHOULD be more than capable on both feet.

Any 22 yr old that we'd think of drafting would need to be, at least...

Does he now.... and you saw this where or you based it on 1 AFL game when his left foot found an opposing player?

Watch his games for the Mariners in 03/04?

How about any of his games for Bendigo?

He's a terribly one sided player who knows he can't use his left, so he tries to checkside everything with his right foot.

He was also the recepient of one of the greatest bakes I've ever seen between a Coach/Player last year vs. Nth Bullants. Knights ripped into him.

whatever MFC does in this trade period/draft period will be for the good of the club. they will select/get players who they think will be good... they are more experts than us, so no one can say he is [censored], unless they work as a talent scout or footy list manager/operations manager.

I liked what I saw with him but if he really is as bad as people say then there is no point getting him. Anybody that tall and built is worth it but if you want someone with minimal risk look at nathan grima. out of contract as he was only on one year rookie .. worth it .. http://www.kangaroos.com.au/TheClub/Player...09&typeid=1

Being able to kick on both feet should almost be selection criteria for this club. I'm sick of seeing Green, Bate and others who kick exclusively off one foot (Yze was another), get themselves into sticky situations and mess things up because they just can't kick at all on their non-preferred.

I know it's not easy to do that, but if it came down to a toss of the coin, if one player could kick with both feet they'd get my vote.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
