  • 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.


Having fun, Tom?

Well here is a 2nd.

At least his GWS team hasn't been beaten by 186

They've only been in the comp 5 minutes. Get back to me when they've notched 150 years and we can compare worst, best, etc. but I'm tipping by then they'll have gone the way of University.

Wait 'til the snide remarks and jealous whispers about him starts in the changerooms from his teammates, if it hasn't already.

The whole thing has the potential to be hugely destabilizing through their playing list.

And don't forget about his old man - that situation could really [censored] players off (if he's still getting paid under the cap, of course).

The bulldogs got stiffed Ward is a gun, Scully legacy will forever be the highest paid biggest underachieving worst AFL player ever, the name T Scully will for ever be that of the player who took the money and run and this will last forever in Football circles, was it really worth it Tom?

Wow Scully collecting 39 possies against the bulldogs was lifetime ago.

Hate the bastard and as l knew all along he is the most overrated player in the history of the game...........good on ya Sheeds, you dropkick

Even the mighty Stan Alves and Mark Maclure would bang on about Tom after some of our 2010 wins. Unfortunately, Tom hasn't lived up to his expectations; fortunately for him, he has become a wealthy man at a young age.

He was too young to bluff his way through 2010, he is a footballer not a PR man. Still, his pantomine messed with our club and helped undo steadily improving performances. We have come out of the experience somewhat 'sullied' but have the afl's draft picks in our saddlebags, and have used the tom money wisely to secure a player who does live up to his reputation.

No doubt Tom Leaving hurt us not so much because we lost him but in terms of this year we haven't gained anything on the field for loosing him. There is no doubt come the end of the year we have the chance to rectify all of this and hopefully we can say thank god he left because we gained so much more. Gotta feel for the doggies though GWS and GC got a knife and gutted the doggies list. Thanks AFL ya knobs.

Interesting to watch the body language during their Freo game. Although being pummelled there was a lot of fight and spirit as a team by GWS. But starkly contrasted by Tom who appeared no different from his disinterested softish efforts in his final few games for us season. Something is already simmering there I believe.

Good. Have you expressed your thoughts on the GWS forum, when you were traded there ?

I love the irony of this thread (and I'm not immune!), when many of us are banging on about how T Cloke should pull on a Melbourne jumper in return for bucketloads of cash.

If Scully had proven himself to be a gun then win us a flag and be one of the top players in his position and then was offered a million a year it wouldn't bother me as much as a bloke who had done nothing,produced nothing and most importantly won nothing and then skipped town for money he doesn't deserve and hasn't earned.

Just could not quite fit in there. I was on the nose when I insisted that Range Rovers were better than Skodas. And that their falafels were overpriced and not as tasty as those found in Broadmeadows. That was the final straw that broke the camels back.

Cloke was pivotal to Collingwood in their premiership year (and in their premiership defence - aware they didn't win but they got close)

He's been AA, he's been a B&F winner, he cost them bugger all at pick 39 under the F/S rule

If Scully had given us 7 years and helped us to a flag or two - I would've packed his bags and paid for his plane ticket

Nope, not getting over it.

Too boring for you? Don't reply please and I'll return the favour.

Get over it Jumbo!!

For heavens sake Scully did the correct thing moving to GWS. Who cares anymore?? You obviously loved him otherwise you wouldn't sulk so much. Scully is still a kid same as Trengove. He'll be good don't worry about that.

Stupid thread moaning over scully...get over it and move on

This is probably the most used expression/thought on this forum, right behind "don't like Scully threads? Don't open them!"

Not to mention he lied his ring hole off all year about it - that's what annoys me the most.

What annoys me is the thought he might have stayed

Imagine we were paying him $650 large for 5 years and he was playing like shyte

Can you imagine the threads that would be on here?

Nope, definitely dodged one very big bullet

Don't be annoyed Harcourt. He didn't lie either. Made of his mind at the end of the Season just as he said he would. He's a kid. Big Bucks on offer would of been mad to stay at Melbourne.

Not moaning. In a year where everything has gone wrong (has any club had a worse series of events without even mentioning the heavy injury list?), it gives some relief to many of us to put the boot into Scully and to think we may have dodged a bullet etc.

We enjoy talking about it in a year where there is little enjoyment.

And to those who endlessly post about our hypocrisy in throwing big bucks at Clarke or Cloake, the complaint is not that Scully went for $, it is the timing and manner of his doing so that irks.

We Scully haters consider ourselves a bit like the Simon Wisenthal Centre.

It may be a long time ago but we refuse to let it go.

If that is a politically incorrect comment then swap it for an old digger who survived Changhi and wont forgive the Japanese .

Either way ,the 31 jumper is tainted forever with disgrace .

    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
