  • 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.

Rivers (Oct '84) is actually a few weeks younger than Gilham (Sept '84)

Fair play, that is surprising, seems like Rivers has been round for ages.

Reckon the rumour has bout as much credibility as weapons of mass destruction (just like most trade week rumours)

Thought i'd throw it out there

Is Gilham taller? Faster? Better kick? Come to think of it, does Gilham have any advantages over Riv?

This one doesn't sound right either.

Love to know which clubs asked about the availability of two of the Jacks. Tongue in cheek methinks?

Reckon Gilham is a much better kick, and would provide better run outta defence, by all means I wouldn't want Rivers traded.

Courage that Rivers has dont fall off trees.

As for Jacks maybe west coast want Watts in a direct swap for Natanui!!! crack open that old chesnut again

Clubs enquiring about Watts and Trengove??!?

And I'll just take this opportunity to remind everyone again that I said Hutchy was talking out his arse.

Listen to me in future, you'll go far.

Don't recall anyone else saying so.

And there is a difference between saying "bullsh!t" and saying "bullsh!t, and this is why..."

What, you think we haven't learnt that from Hutchy in the past ?

I still think he thinks Ablett is staying put. B)

Alright lads, here my community service for the year.

On David Hale:

- talks progressing pleasingly

- have been into Hale for a while

- the swap of the first round pick 12 to North for 17 is bollocks

- currently all that is on the table is pick 32

- did mention you have a start point of what you are willing to offer as well as an end point should other clubs i.e. Hawthorn provide competition

- not worried about the Hawks, focus on only what you can control

- Harrington coming from North using personal knowledge about the player

- also feel that whilst Hale is physically at his peak, the role he would play at Melbourne may provide a boost to career

- Dees predominately a lead up forward line at the mo, want to create some front and square opportunities for goal

- new interchange will require flexability from players, Hale has this

- Hale is an accurate kick

On Warnock:

- very brief

- required player

- has not been asked about too much

- some clubs have been asking bout the availability of J Watts and J Trengove.

Reckon there are plenty of other deals which are in the pipeworks that he wouldn't discuss, these are the two which are out in the public domain.

I heard today from a mate with Puma contacts that Melbourne are into Gilham from the Hawks and are offering up Rivers....thought Rivers 2nd half of the season was pretty good, though Gilham quite bit younger, my 2 cents reckon we would win outta this given age and Gilham provides more run outta defence.

Beautifull, thanks Double Dee. Love your work.

It's been reported that the decision is now being left to Hale with where he wants to go, sounds like the Roos has accepted our offer.

The only thing Hutchy is interested in is ratings, the truth comes a distant second.

That sounds very sensible. Sounds like the best for Hale as well.

I agree hangon007.Could be a great marriage.Also able to bring our quick crumbers into play. Davey, Wonaeamirri and even Jurrah are great under their knees and this would be(Hale)great to crumb to.

Bizarre, isn't it?

Maybe they thought they were attainable for some ridiculous reason?

They are not.

I didn't hear the interview, but one doesn't need to be Einstein to realise it was said tongue in cheek.

This site has been the pits to read lately.

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
