  • 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.

Had a feeling it was Hawthorn, but the Hun reported it was a

"top 5" team chasing him!

Laughable considering where they finished and where they are heading.

Top 5 in their own minds.

With the change in interchange rules, Bruce could turn out to be a useful sub player in his twilight years. Can play almost any position forward, back, middle...

Just a thought.

Just saw on the Herald Sun website that Brucey has decided to quit, opting to nominate for the national or pre-season drafts. It mentions Hawthorn as a possible new home. See the link to the story below:

The story also mentioned that it wasn't so much money or length of contract, he was seeking assurances of his place in the team.... business decision in a business world. He'll get more money and a longer contract elsewhere, but the club remains consistent in developing a 'team first' attitude.

Another defector. I don't know why we (1) can't entice players to come to us or (2) entice them to stay.

Turn it up, apart from Thompson, we haven't lost much. Jolly yes, but he had valid reason.

Adios trackie dacks

We shall miss him next year, but i am glad the club has stood firm...Gives someone else a chance to step up.

Cameron has been great, but during his career we must remember that we always fell short-so there is room for improvement.

If you wish to wear a Hawthorn jumper, you do so at your own peril. B)

It's time to look at the positives!!!

- Free up a lot of our salary cap!

- We minimise our inefficient disposal.

Question: Does Davey now end up on the veterans list??? :/

sucks to see hom leave, but there is plenty of talent to take his spot.

This is true - gives a guy like Blease a chance for a regular spot!!! :)

My biggest disappointment is he waited for this long to do it and robbed us of the opportunity of trading him or at least delisting him and giving us another pick in the Nat Draft.

Yep.

Stinks.

But I'll take the great with the bad.

It's sad to see Bruce go, but I don't think it will have any negative impact on our performance next year and it gives a chance for another young prospect to gain experience each week. Thanks Brucey for over 200 great games. We'll miss you.

Next year will be another development year now, we don't have enough experience or leadership. That's 3 or our 7 leaders gone

BUT... it might be a good move for the long term... means young players will get more games and will need to step up big time

    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,
