  • 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.

Who will take the reins from Junior..?

There was talk of the captaincy being written into Davey's last contract .

Bahahahahahahaha

Surely you're not serious?!

What club would write a captaincy clause into a player's contract?

Absurd.

If true, the only thing that could conceivably be would be a performance-based bonus for being awarded the captaincy.

Not sure any player runs around discussing the ins and outs of his contract in public.

I would have a problem with Davey being captain as I don't like the idea of our captain being pushed around by the opposition. That does happen and would happen even more if he was captain. I am certainly comfortable with him being deputy.

I don't think our next captain is a clear cut choice. I prefer Green for his on field role but am not sure about his off field capabilities. Those that will make the selection will know all the attributes of the contenders.

Agree on both points Redleg. That is why I have mentioned what has been stated over the course, I don't think it is clear cut as others believe.

That's not entirely fair Keyser. There absolutely was talk about the captaincy being written into Davey's contract.

Of course, all that talk was coming from people who haven't the faintest idea how footy clubs are run and what is included in contracts.

I still remember a few years back when Green was shopping around at other clubs, then when MFC considerably raised the price, he signed and said he never considered leaving the club. Moloney comes across as the opposite, I highly doubt there is another player on our list who loves the Melbourne Football Club more than Brent Moloney. Add to that he's a big fella more than capable of "flying the flag" and a great courageous midfielder. Green has won us a few games this year, kicked a few bags, but he isn't the club's saviour, not by a long shot. The next captain has to be Brent Moloney.

Just finished listening to all the speeches from the B & F night.

Loved the end of Brad Green's - "One last thing I'll leave you with. I'm sick to death of our teeth being kicked in by opposition supporter's teams. Get ready for a massive season next year, boys. Come out harder and stronger."

Greeny... you ripper. :)

I voted Moloney as I want my captain to be in the guts, and be a natural leader of men.

I understand the desire to see Green captain and I would see him as a good captain.

I just think that when the going gets tough, I know who will show the way under Jamar.

And I have an issue with a HFF being captain.

My only problem with Moloney is that i don't think he's good enough a player, and he's definitely not consistent enough.

Can't have your captain playing a stinker once every 4-5 games.

Green is the obvious choice

You are forgetting how good he was before the Freo game and Sandilands cleaning him up. Him and Jamar were great.

Brittle body, maybe. But if the OP is gone he can play for 5 more years.

At least change your vote perhaps...? So that you can be the sole clown/fool selecting the "joint captaincy" option!

Joint captaincy is not the same as a rotating captaincy.

I'd still choose Brucey to be up first.

You've narrowed it down to only one..?

You ain't popular are you?

I'm starting to get my own 'following' myself, too.

And I'm alot nicer than you...

Not fair.

And I say no to Bruce because he tosses the coin with his trackie dacks on.

Unacceptable behaviour from an MFC captain.

    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,
