  • 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.

Yep, I have been a believer that he will stay for the whole year but I have a feeling he may have said in his last training session before they fly out,

"Sorry guys, I'm signing with GWS"

and Todd said,

"Fine, Get [censored], your out"

That could have happened, they asked him, he said he's going so they said "no soup for you"

GWS are having a pressy on Monday where they will announce the signing of Scully and ward and any other player whos team isn't in the finals

Also if you want any more confirmation, if your looking for Tom at our B@F, try looking in America. He has booked a holiday over there with his sister over our B@F

My source?

I suppose the possibility that he actually has knee soreness is too simple a reason.

Conversely the thought has crossed my mind that the whole knee soreness thing has been a ruse all year to dampen expecations in relation to his game i.e. put him on ice. After all at the point he would have agreed to go to GWS (probabaly before the year began) his commitment becomes as a GWS player, despite what he would say.

Out with soreness.

I don't know if this means what many here think it does but I get annoyed at the way journos write about this stuff.

In the article above, it is 'news' that has been given an editorial bias.

'Tom Scully has "soreness"' it says. But not a few sentences later there are a few Port players who may miss because of 'soreness' as opposed to Tom Scully's '"soreness".'

Just irritates me.

I am now officially a rat, and I am deserting what I believe to be a sinking ship...

The timing is too perfect for it to be a coincidence.

My guess is that he has realised his mind is made up and won't now change, did what he thinks is the right thing, in informing the playing group of his decision, and that this would be his last game, and then the coaches or the leadership group have pulled the rug from under him, denying him a final match.

I do hope I'm wrong, but I don't think it will significantly set us back if not.

C'est la guerre...

Hehehe. 100%. He actually does have knee soreness.

I know, but has had it for a long time now... Why select him in the first place, then remove him from the side at this stage?

I guess, no matter when they decided to do it, it would have generated this negative reaction.

Still, it doesn't fill me with confidence.

If he has announced to the playing group - it will be on the news tonight. This will not be able to be kept secret.

That's it now close the thread and all threads related to him if he is gone, he is no longer our concern. Surprised by his decision don't blame him but thought he was more professional than chasing the dollar. From here on in the number 31 must be earnt. If he is actually out for genuine reasons and stays then I will apologise in person

There were some pathetic tackling attempts from him against GC that made me think there's something clearly hindering his agility, looked like Bater a couple of times.

So the injury part I do believe.

However whether it's a hip, knee or pocket, give me the draft picks and stick Blease in the middle.

Meh.

If he goes he goes. I believe we will be OK regardless.

Bring on 2012 and those compo picks.

Life does not start and stop with some 19 year old kid.

+ 1 in case my post didn't explain it well enough I have moved on and am still the same as I was this morning red & blue till death

The guy has been playing hurt all season, it is hardly a shock that he is pulling out of a game with soreness!

Yet you are all ready to hang him? With supporters like these its hard to see him wanting to stay.

I still believe he will stay and always have. But until he says he is leaving I will support him 100%

or we have been playing him injured to stuff him up for the GWS and he has commited to the MFC so we get him right for pre-season.

Or is it just he pulled up sore after training and is unable to play.

Often the truth is less newsworthy (and forum worthy) than a conspiracy.

My 2 cents is after weeks of struggling with the injury its caught up with him and Viney would actually like o have a fit team and try and win this game.

    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

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
