    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.

I'd say Grimes would have loved it as well.

9 games, 8 loses, and to sing the song of the club he grew up barracking for would have been fantastic for him. Probably a moment he dreamt of as a kid, and to know that he had a huge hand in helping us win just makes it so much better.

If you look at the vision of them singing the song, you can see Watts in the outer circle singing too! :wub:

Theres nothing better. He gets into and I like that.

Plays for the jumper.

Did you see him at quarter time yelling at the players to get in and when they were there (midfielders etc) his eyes were bulging pratically with the force of what he was saying to them. Good God isnt this what we want from our team leaders every week. After one of the goals, I can't remember which one, he ran up to the player (obviously smaller than him) and grabbed and shook him up and down - funny as but great to see. I wish Cam was a bit more like this - where it on his sleeve more.

Wasn't that keen to come initially - but, when he came down and saw that this a real footy club, he loved it.

In his first practice match against the Crows, I saw him give TJ an absolute mouthful for some undisciplined act that Trapper was good at.

I hope he continues to have a fantastic season.

Just finished watching the replay on the AFL website. I knew he had a good game (i had him in my votes), but i didn't realsie how good it was until seeing it again. The amount of hardwork he does in the stoppages and inside tight contested situations is amazing. Blocks, shepherds, tackles, all great. He was everywhere on Saturday, and his ball-use by both hand and foot was superb. Would be close to winning the B&F this year, up with Davey and Sylvia, you'd think.

Always been a favorite of mine has Beamer and seeing him belt that song out with gusto... now that's passion! I hope he's the next long-term captain of the club. Strong, passionate, hard-working, and a true leader. Not the best player in the team, but he's all heart and leads by example, both on and off the field.

Geelong were always going to trade players for picks to get Ottens, apparently at the time they were initially shopping Kelly and Tenace around, but we were adamant on getting Moloney (our midfield was severely lacking hardness at the time). Cats fans i know have always rated Moloney as 'the one that got away'. Took him a while to get his body right, but he's finally playing some consistent good footy this year.

Growing up a Demons supporter as a kid, i'm sure he was more than happy to come to the Dees. The Cat's just weren't that keen to trade him.

I remember the Pies wanted Tenace or Kelly or Bartel for their first pick. Geelong flat out said no.

We snuck and the deal was done with Moloney for Pick pick 12 (maybe 14, whatever we got from the Scottie Thompson deal).

Moloney is a warrior but bloody Scott Thompson.

I doubt that. And since when did Cats fans have a say in that.

The Cats rated Moloney so highly that they got rid of him to get a part of premiership ruckman. The Cats won hands down with this. We are still waiting on the payback for pick 12 understanding Beamers crud run of OP.

Geelong have a Premiership & Brad Ottens. Adelaide have Scott Thompson. We have a passionate Moloney (bad bout of OP) who loves belting out our song.

You doubt that? So you're calling Doggo a liar basically. And where did Doggo say Cats fans make the decisions?

Jesus RR, this is your pet peeve isn't it?

Everytime someone intimates that Geelong were loathed to get rid of Moloney you play the role Lord Killjoy III.

Have a few Geelong friends, they love the way Moloney goes about his footy. Wish they could have figured out another way but understand it helped them win a flag.

Enough said. Move on.

By the by, there was one orgasmic play in the second when Moloney looked like he was being gang tackled and broke through and free and sent it in and I believe Petterd got a softy. He's bloody strong in the centre.

Would be up there with Bruce and Davey for the Bluey.

What a stupid thing to say mate.

Firstly, what did we give away for Beamer? Pick 12. Guess who went at pick 12. Danny Meyer who was delisted by the Tigers and is now a fringe player at Port (We took the Master at 13 FWIW).

We gave up a pick that would not have benefited us in the long run for a guy who bleeds for the club and is a potential captain. Geelong on-traded the pick to Richmond for Geelong, it isn't like we were the ones who gave up Ottens.

    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
