  • 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.

The talented midfielder showed great maturity and improvement in his second season. Missed three games in controversial circumstances after being cited for his tackle on Adelaide's Dangerfield. 

The future leader demonstrated his loyalty to the club late in the season by extending his contract till the end of 2015.

Really looking forward to his career.

Great head on his shoulders.

Start of 2013 and our best mids will probably be Trengove, McKenzie, Gysberts, Viney, and Bail. Maybe Moloney ahead of Bail...

Brave new world...

Future star for sure. The way he carried himself all through this year, from T$gate to tacklegat was sensational. A kid who we can all be really proud of as a committed MFC player.

He reminds me alot of a tripple premership, brownlow / normsmith medallist player for the Cats.... Reliable set shot and goal, great overhead, likes the tough stuff, and is generally a footballers footballer!

He's our Jimmy Bartell.

Maybe Moloney ahead of Bail? All those names have a long way to go to be ahead of Moloney!

Anyway Jack had a great year. Overhead marking is great, skills a very good. A lot of strengths for the kid! Hope he can continue his improvement!

Nope, he's our Jack Trengove, and would that he could reach ANY of the heights of Jimmy Bartel! One thing is, he will captain of an AFL club before JB! Maybe he'll acheive everything Bartel has, and that will be his point of difference, hehehee.

Viney, in his first season, will be in our Top 5 midfielders? Wowee, this kid must be good (especially considering in his first year he will be better than Moloney).

A lot of people on here see the Bartel comparison - I'm buggered if I do! JT to me is a clone of Luke Hodge. Has shown that agressive side early in their career (Hodge had to be told to settle down by the club IIRC), can go forward and kick goals, or play the sweeper role on half back. I guess that's what Bartel does too, but I just think build-wise, JT and Hodge are very, very similar.

Man crush.

Although concerningly, isn't 2015 when he becomes available under free agency?

Nope. He would need to have given 8 years to the club. That puts it at the end of 2017 before he's a free agent.

I also think the world of this kid. Every time he appears in public he does something to further the reputation of te football club. He must be the PR department's dream come true.

My only concern is that I see him through such ridiculously rose coloured glasses that even I recognise it, so I could be setting myself up for huge disappointment (cue rpfc...). I just find it really hard to form an objective opinion of him.

Anyway, he's a certainty for the captain role after Green makes way for mine.

Trenners is a smart and hard-working footballer. He's as hard as nails with courage to match, has very solid skills (especially overhead marking) and shows maturity beyond his years and experience. He's a ripper and we are very lucky to have him. His loyalty is an added bonus. Fifth placing in the Bluey in only his second year was an exellent achievement. If he continues to develop as I expect, he will be a star and a leader at our Club.

    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

    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
