  • 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.


The Tom Scully Saga

The mods can tell you it isn't me (IP address).

Nice try, that's way too easy to spoof...but I'll take your word for it anyway.

My favourite was songwriting stewie... I have never watched FG but it was a classic take on the diatonic chord progression...

Oh cool, another 10 page Tom Scully thread.

Didn't he say that he wanted to hold off talks until the end of the season, and increase his value with good second year form?

That suggests he's trying to get more money out of Melbourne. I can't imagine GWS paying more than $800k a year for him, and he would be likely to get (at the moment) about $300k at Melbourne? Can easily push that up to $400k a year at Melbourne by playing great footy this year. Doubt GWS would do an increase like that. An offer of $800k early this year would turn into $850k, maybe. That's just my opinion, though.

My comments are pure poppycock?

I'm still waiting for you to make a contribution of value.

It's always just sarcastic or demeaning jibes, but never offering much of an opinion.

What's it like there on the sidelines? Afraid to get into the game?

Anyway, still can't remember who it was, but they've been people involved in AFL coaching, whose opinion I respect a hell of a lot more than yours.

It's something I've taken notice of, and in quite a lot of cases it has proven to be true.

Maybe you're taking it a bit literally...

you break me up Artie (or is it E25?) :blink:

Hmmm. Two computers ... Two IP addresses?

Not necessarily, but it is one possibility of many.

I've got work, home, and iphone and I am sure that the mods are comfortable with saying that they have never seen those three IPs under another name.

Just don't need to.

rpfc is doing the job of multiple posters anyway...

Is there any danger in the world that one day will pass without a new fawning, sycophantic thread pleading for Tom Scully to remain at the club?

Enough already!

I took your word for it the first time... just stating fact.

Conversely, sometimes I suspect the volume of posting by some could only be explained by a team of posters.

No and No. I can categorically state that it is not rpfc. The poster has been warned accordingly within the guidelines of Demonland.

Now please, let's move back to the topic.

Surely Todd's reached puberty by now :-)

Do we have to?

Ok then... During the north melbourne game I was sitting in the players area - or rather where many of injured etc players and wags were sitting. Tom was sitting away from the group with an older gentleman (I suspect his father?) and was certainly "isolated" from the group.

Tom Scully - Good player or Great player?

Discuss.

Good player currently on the verge of an exciting time with a plethora of similar aged players and a club of second-to-none supporters who love their club with so much passion for what their club is embarking on....the pursuit of a flag and greatness for the red & blue. One who may well one day be a 'great player' in a great football team. A team that will ply it's trade so well on the greatest football ground in Australia.

One that will follow in the footsteps of the good work undertaken 'til now.

The media just edge their bets with this type of rubbish.

1st they will say he is going to create hype

2nd they will say he has signed a HOA

then if he goes they will say i told you so and if you stays they will say well he signed a HOA and changed his mind.

Its ridiculous.

If Tom has signed a HOA all means is that his management have locked in the terms with them - it does not at mean that he wanted to go in the first as they will clearly wait for other offers to be tabled with the intention of all along staying at the demons.

Personally i do think he would of signed anything and we should trust the kids word.

How is Chewy, Wheels ?

You may remember my dog with the ultra long tongue - Hannabal ? She died last year. Anyone ever had a 15 year old family dog put to sleep at your home while she lay on your lap ?

I've not been the same.

In the space of 3 months last year I had my best mate randomly fall and fatally crack his skull, my 14yr old cat go down in 1 day, and my father suffer complications from heart valve surgery to the point where he was almost lost three times. I've alot more grey now, and feel your pain.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
