  • 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 Davey Rumour.

Seems strange...least of all what would we do with these "New Arrivals"

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/portals/59/melbourne_shop.html

I assume you mean the 'Davey Youth Tee'? Not the retro shirt?

Valid point, but still, things like this can happen within a matter of hours, they would've had that planned months.

Put it this way: if Davey goes, and cites a lack of direction/game plan/problems with Bailey as reasons, how will you feel? I would have to try hard to stop myself from apportioning the blame entirely on Bailey.

I am not going to get my ire up over a hypothetical.

We need to settle and deal with what is in front of us, not what our pathetic MFC-supporter negativity says is in front of us.

I am including myself in that group.

We must overcome.

My mind is leaning towards Mclean being subtly pushed.

Not as worried about Davey as I was last night, quite the hormonal human apparently.

Nothing gets done this quickly without all parties wanting it on some level.

DB told him he would play a periphery role (same as TJ), Carlton were interested, he would like to play in a more successful team...

All leads to 'auf wiedersehen'.

I agree with whoever said the clubs should be congratulated for not [censored]-footing around and going for what they wanted - Redleg, I'm getting close to taking back what I said.

I cant believe the people thinking we could cover the possible loss of Davey!

He was Bloody amazing this year and is improving parts of his game onfield and off every year!!!!

I have tried to twitter Shwabby a number of times to put our minds at ease and to say Davey is going nowhere as he has a number of times if people ask him the same question he answers it! Anyone who has twitter should do the same and see if he replies.

Good work. I can't imagine anything I'd want Schwab doing more than having to deal with a swarm of tweets from angsty fans.

Honestly, if the Club has signed up Davey they'd announce it. Do you think they're too lazy to mention the new contract but will suddenly get onto it because you tweet the CEO?

I don't really understand where you're coming from (apart from 'oh noes, we might lose Davey').

Where's the fun in that? It's much more fun to whip ourselves in to an hysterical frenzy without having any facts at all at hand other than a few good rumours here and there.

Demonland in the last 24 hours has reminded me of 'Lemmings' a bit. Everyone just following each other off the same cliff to their deaths. We need one of those 'blocker' dudes that stand there with their arms out shaking their heads.

Am I the only one who couldn't care less about (potentially) Davey leaving?

Pick #11 for McLean is an absolute winner!

Offer Davey to Coasters or Shockers for pick #4 or #5.

Come on, think about having so many picks in the last legitimate draft for a while.

Bring it on, I say!

your a [censored], how do you create loyalty if everybodys up for trade.

Mclean okay! But Not Davey. We need him and it will put a sour taste in suppoters mouths.

Oh...so cool calm and collected you are. Who are you to judge? Get off your high horse and stop trying to make youself something more then you are.

Nothing wrong with people saying how they feel when they hear certain news.

I would be surprised if Davey left. On the other hand the club may think he will not be around for the next tilt at a premiership. If so and they think they can snare a VERY GOOD player with the draft pick received that will make a difference during the next tilt at the premiership then perhaps its a strategy worth a try.

In Brock's case he is not quick and the rate at which the game is getting faster the game may go past him in 3 years anyway.

Davey IMO is worth pick 2 - 5 at least.

"As I have said many times...don't believe everything you read. Dees are on track. Announcements pending."

this from twitter...hopefully it helps to calm all of the hysteria

interesting....he has been pretty honest with the supporters and on twitter. i eagerly await this "announcement"

    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,
