  • 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.

The melbourne football club will win a premiership in 5 years time,why am i so certain, well our club bottomed out just in time,we will only win 3 to 4 games, get priority picks in the last unrigged draft, the next two draft after this year all of the top picks will be going to gc17 the wc18,so the next side to bottom out sydney, st kilda will take 7 years to rebuild, because they will not be able to rebuild their list for 4 years, carlton will not win a premiership with judd in their side he takes up to much of carlton's salary cap, so they will have 6 very good players on their list but they will have no depth at all. they will have good young player that deserve about $350000, but because off salary cap ,they pay those player 250000, they will leave beauce of gc 17 offing big money

Let's say, hypothetically, that we are 4 wins or less this year. We get our two big picks, and after this, in a perfect world, start to make a climb. Say 12th in 2010, then 9th in 2011... If this (or something like this) were to eventuate we would be getting a pick #5 and a pick #8... Assuming there weren't any other priorities. Those are still VERY juicy picks, that any other regular team bottoming out would use to apply the finishing touches to their core. Perhaps even trade one of those picks, plus a player, for another pick in the top 3 or 4. As it stands, if we climb the ladder as suggested above, it will turn our pick #5 into about a pick #12 or so... and the pick #8 into about pick #20.

You're kidding yourself if you think the GC17 club won't hurt us when it comes to recruiting. You could argue we missed the worst of it, but then we're not going to rebuild a side using ONLY the 3 years worth of draft picks we got when bottoming-out. ('07, '08 and probably '09) In fact, if we got close and didn't bring home the biccies when we next are pushing for the flag, I'm sure people WILL blame the GC drafting concessions.

And as for other clubs that will be threats. The Hawks, assuming they cling to their best players, will be one of the major teams to beat in the coming 4-6 years. Carlton will likely be one of those as well, as they have ALWAYS found a way around the financial problems associated with the draft in the past.

There's a lot of water to pass under the bridge just yet.

When will Jack Viney be eligible for the draft? Coz GC17 aren't allowed to touch f/s's from what i understand. He would be a very handy pick up indeed.

    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

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    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
