    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"

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
