  • 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.

And now Marc Murphy has re-signed with the Blues for 3 years........over to you now Tom!

Good to hear for Blues supporters. Another player chooses not to leave to shitty GWS. Surely there must be very little motivation to go for Tom...

Except for the trifling matter of that massive sack of cash they're waving at him.

True. And the more other stars sign, they more they can throw at young Tom.

Along with the Murphy signing, this is an interesting development in the GWS saga ...

Apparently this Coniglio kid from WA is a monty top 5 draft pick if he nominates this year, but he and his family don't want a bar of GWS.

They are seriously going to struggle to be competitive if they don't get some decent players up there.

Wow, can't really blame him though. Looks like there's a fair chance the joint is gonna be a basket case. Hope Tom takes it that this is no place for him if even an untried up and coming kid is willing to defer his draft nomination.

This type of scenario will help the MFC cause..when young guns publicly say they do not want to go to GWS...i like it.

Scully is as good as gone!!! If he hasn't signed by now, or indicated that he is going to, it's all done. Everyone else is re-signing with their clubs (i.e. Murphy, Bartel, Pendlebury). . Sad but reality I guess. .

He will miss some epic Queens Birthday confrontations!!!

Here is a song Tom & his management are listening to a lot this year....Sitting on the Fence...The Rolling Stones

Pendlebury signed a 1 year contract.

Hardly a great sign of commitment.

He said he hasn't signed, and I will back the club to convince him that the MFC is where you want to be.

Anyone find a quote or some sort of evidence in that article that Coniglio has even thought of a boycott?

I've looked and can't see any for the life of me.

Might as well just read another Scully to GWS article...

Anyone else feeling nervous that on the Footy Show tonight they are naming a player who probably wont be at there club next season.

Didn't even make the "news" section of the "footy" show. This whole HOA story has no legs.

Except Scully has publicly stated not he, his manager or his family have spoken with GWS let alone signed anything. That's good enough for me at this stage.

I don't think Tom is a liar.

Seems to me to be a very honest player and person.

Can we talk about his on field performances for a moment instead.

I am curious if others think that he and trenners are complimentary in their styles.

Trenners a hard ball winner with scully having the ability to make space and run (and run and run) a la Judd.

Thoughts?

They definitely compliment each other. You can throw Gysberts into this also.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
