  • 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.

Leigh Brown could be a handy short term (preseason draft) acquisition to bolster our forwardline for 2 years. Not sure of his age.

We need to take the pressure off our youngsters, while our young forwards to be recruited develope their bodies confidance & game.

i've got an awesome idea.

He's 22 years old so fits out age bracket perfectly. He's got great kicking skills which is what we need.

He can supply drive off half back which is what we lack.

His name is Chris Johnson.

Are you a fan of Chris's or not, I can't hear your tone.

You've stated nothing re Leigh Brown short term.

Now the clubs have done 99% of their delisting, we can actually look at the best options in the PSD. We can invite players to train with us and try to find the best option for the club

There are a few tall forward options now that we might consider.

Gourdis has been delisted by Richmond, he's a real athlete but a lot of work needs to be done on his football. Thoolan is a huge kid delisted by Collingwood and he's still only 18, 19 early next year. He's 195cm & 95kg, and that was measured at the start of the year. Couple of young options that we could consider

You mean like this?

Or this one on Nathan Carroll going to Carlton?

No. ;)Could do much worse than Kane Tenace.

Massive selling point that one.

"Hey Kane, we don't think you are very good but selecting you was the only way we could keep Chris Bryan off the list."

"Now go introduce yourself to Brad Gotch - you're going to be seeing a lot of him. Hahahahaha!!!"

They probably could have left off the evil laugh at the end but AFL is an emotional game and it adds drama...and flavour.

Get a room you two!

Visualising and...

You're both very attractive...

Moving on...

Haha...

I played with Laidlaw before he was drafted.

Gun player but has been ruined by injuries.

We will have enough mids after the draft but he is a Melbourne boy, 22 and if he is over his injuries he could be a handy pickup.

Very much doubt we will pick him up though...

    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,
