  • 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.

RPFC, have a read of your post, you sound like your straight out of kinda. You sound like an insolent little Brat.

Really?

Maybe I thought that your post about Jamar having no firends amongst the playing group was something akin to kinder speak?

And I am pretty happy with the readbility of my posts.

Insolent? Yes.

A brat? Yes.

Well structured and easy to follow posts and arguments?

Yes - it has to be a net change of -3.

Even without trying to rehome Dunn and Bate, coming up with three outs should be a piece of [censored]. Maric and Wonaeamirri would be delisted with the promise to rookie list the latter. Warnock on to the trade table then delisted if no takers.

You're right though - it's the possibility of trading in players that makes it interesting. It then becomes even more critical that we try and find a home for those other two, and I'd accept pretty much anything in return, including a downgrade of third round picks (Jade Rawlings deal) if we were absolutely desparate. The other option is to delist while in contract, but that one always makes me nervous.

Speak of the devil..........

Joel Macdonald must be in the frame.

As far as No1 ticketholder, I was It when the Russian didn't have a friend even amongst the players. So, you'll just have to do your homework young fella.

I think this guy might have something to say about this. I for one know he has had 40 on his back pretty much since the day jamar came to the dee's.

Yeah, I copped years of crap for wearing that number on my back, 6/7 years now (4 diffrerent jumpers), with a badge thrown in there for good measure. Friends were buying me drinks and giving me congratulations when he bagged 5 against the blues, I got messages of congratulations when he made the AA team last year. My support has never faltered.

My girlfriend reguarly questions who I love more, her or the big man, I'm very good at changing the course of conversations

We've already delisted one player so only two to go.

As well Robbie I have a gut feeling that Neeld will not make wholesale changes to our list this year.

May want to find out for himself how good the list is.

But look out at the end 2012 if you have not provided the goods.

Having said that tomorrow he will announce 10 delistings

Murphys Law. I agree with you it's not what the previous coach and Demonlanders think it's what he thinks. We are prepared to swap/delist/retire half the players but he may find that with a bit of hard work there are some gems in amongst them.

If any haven't read it already I suggest that you have a look at this.

Some have just about written off Maric but he may be something that Neeld sees some value in, perhaps in another area.

Also its supposed to be a very thin draft this year - I wouldn't expect many delistings - a few trades if we can do it - but not many delistings

Im just wondering how much Neeld may already know of this list. Malthouse was onrecord as saying this was the list he would have been interested in, had things been different. So Mick obviously had done some homework and it would be reasonable to assume he 'might' have passed on or indeed discussed in some manner this info with Neeld.

Given the now famouse "gaps " on the board Im inclined to think Neeld had a fair idea of who hes inclined to move on, who to keep...and who might need a closer look.

Traitius Maximus - gone

pick from the following

Maric - delist

Warnock - Trade if he wants out

Wonna - delist/rookie

Bate - Trade if he wants out

I'd do the minimum list changes this off season by most reports this draft doesn't bat deep

I cant see much player movement before free agency and an untainted draft next year.

Having no friends. No I didn't say that.

I think I said that maybe they, the players, didn't believe he, 'Had It'. I think he had plenty of friends.

No, I posted a reply about your childish writings & rantings. Not your spelling.

    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,
