  • 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.

He has publicly said he wants to return to Vic one day, Neil Craig was somewhat of a mentor/father figure to him In Adelaide. I say we have a crack at him? Quality player...

He would provide good tackling training.

contracts mean nothing in this day and age. if we've got the cash. get him. he's a gamebreaker.

Disagree, he is a vanilla midfielder who averages less than 17 disposals per game, and looks flashy at times,

In saying this he has potential and i would take him at the right price, no more than a mid first rounder, nothing lower than 10

Exactly, he has the body already growing, he has the endeavor already exhibited, and he has the X factor with his power run - take it on mentality.

About 6' 2" I think?

Handy burst through type Mid.

I'm not 100% but I'm fairly sure he's got a year left on his contract.

I believe you are correct.And like all posts already state- a great advantage having Craig available to grab him next year.

I like the way he plays, but I would want them to do some major medical testing first. He's had an alarming number of concussions for such a young player and they are known to have a cumulative effect. He stands a very good chance of being forced into early retirement if a decent medical staff get their hands on him.

And I'm sure you're the kind of supporter who rates everyone on our list and thinks that they all have the potential to become

'stars'.

Dangerfield is better than 3/4's of our list when fully fit and uninjured.

Sorry to upset you Dangerfield is half Judd half Chuck Norris, feeling better now?

I actually said he can play, just isnt a "Game breaker" and in my opinion effect games often enough,

He has speed, and goes reasonable hard ta the ball, but 17 possessions a game from a soon to be 22 year old doesnt seem enough from a player who people such as yourself laud all the time

Would take him every day of the week if a reasonable trade was arranged.

17 possessions is not huge, but the way he attacks the ball and could possibly break open games, I can see the promise.

I know promise is not everything but I think he has more upside than many on our list.

I agree with you, but @ 22, he has the guns to go. He looks to have the desire & wherewithall.

His stats are a little inferior to Boaks but is Younger. Gaff has good stats.

Got to be honest, I couldn't take my eyes off Trengove. Wow, he owned the [censored] out of that stage, and those (albeit fake) tatts really done it for me! :P

Wonder if Dangerfield was "very excited" for Craig, or excited at the prospect of possibly being coached by him again?....

Chase him HARD at the end of 2012. I see him as a Dustin Martin with a softer head.

Has not really stepped up to be a true midfielder, but is anything but vanilla.

I'd grab him if we could (although unlikely) because he really has the potential to be a game breaking midfielder. Just has raw power, which is priceless as the game becomes more congested.

Yes he is far from Vanilla, although i dont think he is a "game breaker"

Wouldnt be against trading for him because he is very good, or will be. I just dont go for all his hype

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
