  • 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.

Quarterbrain on Ten news about to talk about a 'Demons star' set to quit.

Obviously talking about Aussie, and man, he got his words twisted. Will definitely be rookied if he doesn't come back soon but we aren't getting rid of him that easily.

Wona has certainly had a very rough trot, and the Club has shown him an amazing amount of latitude and consideration.

But all that said - Wona really owes it to the Club to let them know well before the desisting period if he is really prepared to make the commitment and the sacrifices needed to play AFL footy.

If he is not he surely cannot expect to occupy a place on the list. IF he could go to the rookie list then it could be an option - he is going to have his work cut out just to regain general and match fitness after a year out of AFL, however strong his commitment.

And someone mentioned AFL compassionate rules - I haven't heard of these. To be really cynical (and I am sure that I hear voices calling me paranoid), how could we possibly trust Herr Fuehrer and Anderson to not change the interpretation as and when they feel like it, like they do with the salary cap rules?

If he doesn't commit before the trade/delisting period then we simply make the call for him. That's not harsh, thats reasonable.

I like the idea of putting him on the rookie list if he still maintains interest but isn't 100% committed and back before the end of the season.

.......

Correct on both counts. For mine, his modest form and (lack of) conditioning for the past few years should have meant he is marginal at best anyway.

Time to cut him loose. We are not a sheltered workshop (ask Junior).

He was a bright spot during some very dark days. Sad to see him go, but it is what it is and we have to move on.

No point even retaining him on the rookie list. Once he goes back to NT he isn't coming back. Besides, we could use that rookie spot to unearth another Nicholson type.

We are hungry for success, and we need players who are hungry for it.

If, he wants out of Melbourne I'd hope we could maybe organise a trade with Brisbane for him.. A win/win is better than losing him. It's a tad warmer up there, & closer to home for him.

look on the map of aus... brisbane is thousands of ks from darwin plus a hop over to the tiwis. if he doesnt wnt to come back to melbourne hes not gunna want to play there.

The team will be in Darwin in a couple of weeks. No doubt Aussie will be there to catch up with the boys or at least someone from the coaching staff will catch up with him then. Let's wait & see what happens after that.

Might stir up some desire or at least help Aussie to make a decision.

Aussie's mum came up to a supporter at the game on Saturday night to tell her that Aussie was coming back.

Once again....all the journalist's were wrong....They know as much fact as we do most of the time. Keep this in mind when putting the Scully scenario into perspective...They do not know what is REALLY happening.

Welcome back Austen...The Club obviously loves you very much, so i am very happy you want to return...Get fit little guy and tear it up in 2012.

Wonna has shown that players DO want to play for this club....a very positive sign going forward.

Range Rover, it's good to see the angry mob holding Quartermain accountable for his incorrect reporting of Aussie's career's demise...

He's copping it left, right and centre.

That'll teach him.

Good thing he didn't make a premature prediction on Tom Scully's future...

Well certainly Kelly Underwood was wrong when she announced on Ten News that he would not return this year and would play in Darwin in 2012.

    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,

    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
