  • 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.

With the AFL bring in the Free Agency Policy as discussed on SEN allowing 1 player from to go to GC17 from each club which MFC player would we give them and who would be the one player off limits? Thoughts?

They can have Dunn, Bate, Sylvia or Bruce. I'm not fussed which one.

I wouldnt cry if we lost one of Bruce, Dunn, Bate, Sylvia, Cheney, McNamara, Whelan, Buckley, Wheatley, Bartram

It's not that I don't rate any of these players but I can't see any big holes left in our list without them and it wouldn't be the end of the world if we lost one of them.

Yeah, anyone from that list wouldn't do us much harm if they were to leave (though we'd best reserve judgement on McNamara until we see him play).

Include Newton.

McNamara... what I've seen of him live is impressive, I'd be more than happy if he's in our squad over the next 2 to 3 years.

so would i, but we do have a lot of very good defenders so if someone had to go and it was him, i dont think that it could impede on us winning a premiership...

of course, how did i forget to add newton to that list...

Why doesnt the club jump on the front foot and start signing up all our important players??

Do we get any compensation if they take one of our players, like one of their draft picks?

Miller should be in there he's only played 1 good game against the powerful Richmond and 5 mins against the wobbles and West Coast. He is a very ordinary player.

Miller isnt the only one on the list to have a couple of bad games this season.

Your names sake for example.

I think you will find that if you took some time and watched Miller play, he deserves more than what your one liner suggests.

I agree on Brad Miller, he's a queenslander and will be turning 28 in 2011 so I think both parties would be happy enough with the parting, especially if we pick up Butcher in the coming draft with Watts and Jurrah also developing.

Expect to see Miller as the first FF and Vice-captain of the new Gold Coast team.

As I understand the rule, I think that GC have the right to take any uncontracted player they like from our list without any compensation, but that's contingent on the player agreeing to go there. Hopefully none of our players leave under such circumstances, but if the player and the GC agree on a contract, then we don't have any say in it at all unfortunately.

havnt we done this topic in a few other threads the past weeks?

Cale Morton on GC hit list includes a link to the article which describes the compo recieved.

Players safe from being poached by the Gold Coast players who are contracted, uncontracted and whoi we dop/don't want them to take.

AFL secret draft gold Coasts swoop on uncontracted players

edit: anyway, this thread isn't actually about free agency, its just about the GC17 uncontracted player grab. thats not free agency, thats stay, draft or GC.

    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

    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,
