  • 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.

So fuschia, I like you right, but I wish you'd just bloody well say what you actually think!

Watched the footage, he is good, i think the problem is he is aware of this. Playing against men in the afl requires a little more than natural talent. That aside, I think he could be useful at an AFL level with the right mentoring (wheels/flash) and coaching (bails).

PSD is usually a waste of time unless you get lucky, may as well roll the dice again and see if we can get another Davey like gem. I dont see too many other standout options on the table, so i am behind rolling the dice on this one and seeing where it takes us.

I know this is drawing a ridiculously long bow, but the way he moves the ball around in his hands, he reminds me a lot of Daniel Motlop.

I know they are nothing alike really, but he just has an x factor that excites me... and Emma Quayle by the sounds of things.

Probably right about him knowing it though Wrathchild.

Worth a punt anyway, I say.

Yeah, i got that.. he has a bit of Brent Grgic about him... laconic

scares me a bit

Yeah, but its affectively Pick #80+ in the draft... who cares if he 'looks' lazy or whatever???

Maybe he is, and he will get found out in the big league... OR maybe he will work hard once he gets his shot. The thing is, it is a boom or bust pick... what does it cost us???

He seems to have a bit of X-factor about him, and seems to be a pretty good kid from what I've heard. I would love to pick him up.

Ye agree mate.

He seem to have high potential if fitness isthe problem then its easly fixed , personaly rather take him who has good potential in wat ive sen then taking an average player who at best turns out to be an ok player.

But in PSD i guess you never know who has the ability to turn out a realy good player.

Seeing that theyve been over looked about 70 odd times.

In fact almost every single player left and available to be drafted has been overlooked exactly 79 times (unless they are previously contracted players registering next week in which case they weren't overlooked or they were available last year and in that case the figure is considerably greater)

I hope they look at Matthew DeBoer, an extractor & good runner with quality.

Sibasado looks poss' lazy, so to me, so he would be a rookie proposition if still there.

Alot of people beat around the bush when describing players, or try to be needlessly verbose . . .

De Boer was not drafted because his disposal is crap.

Hi geddy, Matt DeBoer goes alright, hey.

What ever happened to Dappa Dan? His last login was a couple of days after his last post, in October 2012. Always seems alarming to me when regular posters go idle like that very suddenly. He used to post a lot (in both post count and word count) - but was always a good read.

Maybe he decided to take the law into his own hands and murder Yze Magic, then got caught and locked up.

What jury would convict?

Geez, Yze Magic was a different kind of troll to what we have on here these days. Not so many snide sideways remarks, just straight up "you are full of ... and here's why" followed by incredible, sometimes outlandish theories.

Someone should go back and check just in case it turned out he was right about everything.

Well he misfired on Sylvia turning into the messiah...

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
