  • 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.

Trengove just showed some super silky skills.... Took posession, lifts the ball in one hand over an opponent... and delivers straight to the chest of a teammate....Commentators love him

Sturt are now in front.... Trengove is definately in the best for Sturt.... His work around the ground is fantastic and as the commentators have said, his class for an 18 year old is fantastic.... Up against some big blokes in this match and shows no hesitation at all...

Trengove takes a grab in the middle and delivers into the forward line.... Teammate unable to take a grab..... The kid is everywhere

Great to hear that he is both classy and hard at the contest. I'm almost more excited about this kid than I am about Scully.

Half time siren blows..... Glenelg have a kick after the siren from 50m on the boundary.... No score.... Sturt up by 1 point after trailing by 15 at the first break...

one handed bottle feeding..... Glenelg have stepped it up a gear, and lead 31-19

Trengove had a much better 2nd quarter & had a hand in several Sturt goals.Sturt now lead at the half 32-31.Trengove had 6 kicks,1 handball,4 marks & 3 tackles in the 2nd quarter.Overall stats to the half-8 kicks,5 handballs,5 marks & 3 tackles also with a few clearances.If you watch the game i think you can forget about some of the rumours that people are saying about him beung soft,the SANFL is very physical & they dont pay the same soft frees as AFL,lots more head high stuff & physical in the packs.Hes also very good mark as he has shown & likes to have a jump.Great skills as were seen when he set up 1st goal.Also has some speed & guts & likes to take on tacklers,hes side stepped several players & stayed calm under pressure to find a target.Ive seen him live several times here & think he has massive potential,just hope Melb see it the same way& take him num 2 in the Draft.Donald Dickie is assistant coach at Sturt said that you tell him something once & he just does it,is a natural leader.Said they will give him rests because hes done U/18 here plus 18 carnival,league here plus school footy & now finals,so hes had a long tough year & is still going strong.Shows good character to me

ABC radio commentator said Trengove is probably the outstanding player on the ground so far and no wonder he'll be highly sought after in the draft.

Quite a wrap for an 18 yr. old.

He just seems to be everywhere.... If he doesn't have possession of the ball he is laying tackles, he takes a lot of marks around the ground as well.... His work at the stoppages is fantastic.... He goes in hard as nails and doesn't give a toss if the blokes are bigger than him.... Has great poise and skill when in possession of the pill and seems to have heaps of time to make a decision.... His kicking on both feet is superb and he can take a contested grab....

The kid is a definate pick IMHO.... I am not a Sturt sopporter (Norwood all the way), but me and my mates (some of whom play SANFL) all think that Trengove is fantastic! I would even go as far as to say he is better than Gibbs was at this level.... Has a decent sized body and has leadership written all over him.... Seems to do the things that lift his teammates when the chips are down....

All in all, I think we NEED this kid!

Dont lynch me now people but i think the same thing that he could even be num 1 pick.I believe if he was in melb playing now & more people seen him live he would rate higher,dosnt matter though as hopefully we take both Scully & Trengove,pray

I have not seen Scully live, but I have seen JT live on a number of occasions...... I find it hard to say which one is better as I have seen some footage of Scully which is very impressive.... But Trengove is just awesome to watch live.... Will be bloody awesome if we grab both.... Surely the club cannot overlook Trengove!?!?!?!

That is the all important thing about Trengove..... He WILL make it in the AFL..... And performs in big games against grown men at the age of 18....

Trengove is still in everything.... The comentators are now praising his balance and the way he holds his feet in a tackle.... Doesn't seem to go to ground....

My posts have slowed up a bit, apologies, but the 8 month old demon in the house is demanding attention.... He is a bit sick of watching, what he probably thinks is, Richmond on the TV :D

Trengove in it again.... Trengove stands up in another tackle (dare I say it ala G.Ablett) and handballs to a teammate, who kicks a goal.... Sturt in front by 8 points now...

I will make a statement and say that I think Trengove is best on ground!!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
