  • 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.

Hun article on Jordie

What a guy, I had never heard about this crows offer before, or that he was injured for a large portion of the TAC cup. It is shaping as a grey value rookie pick. In the article he says he's not theist skilled player but I would disagree with that I think his kicking is great, accurate and smart. He's a hard nut too!

Add that to the fact that he volunteered to stay on the rookie list so the club had an extra draft pick -- he's a guy who has obviously put the team ahead of the individual; more than once.

I really hope he turns out to be good enough so that he can be rewarded for his loyalty.

First I've heard of the Adelaide offer. Makes his decision to stick with us on the rookie list, for less money and security, even more impressive.

It shows that while Luke Ball and others might not rate us, this young group knows they're going somewhere. Rather than go play finals now Jordie elected to stay with us and work his way off the rookie list because "there's exciting times ahead for us here."

I've been a fan since the run of televised Casey games last year and look forward to seeing a lot more of Jordie in the red and the blue for years to come.

Stories like this are significant.

Hearing stories like this, and others such as Trengove and Scully enjoying being at the dees gives me a lot of hope for the future.

Loyalty is what dynasties are built on.

Great artical and what a fantastic LOYAL young kid, It looks to be the perfect marriage Jordie loves the dee's and will do anything to help the cause and the Dees love Jordie's attitude and application and will be rewarded for effort. The world would be a better place with more level headed Jordie's

Other than the obvious parts of the story, there is a significant little nugget in this piece for all armchair experts (that's almost everyone who reads this site, BTW): a lot happens about players, clubs, planning and contracts that no-one knows about. Now I'll just wait for someone to become hysterical about the fact that the club didn't tell us tha tAdeliade was trying to pinch one of our players.

Definately! I love the new culture which Jimma, Bails et al are slowly but surely establishing at our great Club. Just compare Jordie's decision with that of Chris Johnson just over 12 months earlier, or Brock McLean's more recently.

Very rarely you read a football story which genuinely makes you believe that some footballers still feel strong loyalty to their club, the jumper they are wearing, and their teammates, and not just money. This is one of those stories.

Jordie is now automatically someone you just want to see succeed and have a long career. What a great kid!

Loved reading this. To turn down an offer to go onto the senior list of a potential top-4 team this year and to stay on the rookie list of the double-reigning wooden spooner shows the loyalty and love for Melbourne in this kid.

Furthermore, the fact that Neil Craig saw something in him shows the potential this guy has to make it at AFL level.

Hopefully this is the start of a successful career with Melbourne.

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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,
