  • 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.

Andrew Jarman spreading rumours about Jeremy Howe ...

My guess would be Adelaide may well be making a play, but to say he is unhappy at Melbourne is most likely a beat up.

True, that is what I meant.

Fantasy that Howe is unhappy and looking to move.

A lot of teams would be making a play for Howe if they had any sense.

And quite happy with the thread title change!

Andrew Jarmans motive?

Adelaide guy, trying to create a bit of interest by appearing to have some sort of exclusive juicy bit of semi-plausible inside info that is pleasing to the ear of Adelaide fans?

This really is a surprise?

It's tough to fill the sports pages in an AFL-mad city with only 2 teams.

With the advent of free agency and the increasing prevalence of players somehow thinking they can choose their destination when leaving a club as a non-free-agent, stories like this about gun players looking to leave for greener pastures with appear with greater and greater frequency.

And soon enough, they'll start coming to fruition more often too.

But players like Howe, just into their 2nd year demanding a trade, when they are desperately wanted and needed at their original club and getting plenty of opportunity...

Quite far-fetched, even considering our recent form.

Not much in it, but Howe wouldn't get a game for Adeaide. Highly overrated at the moment at Melbourne but has a bright future. Still a bit of work to do.

He's OK at best in a very average side. Big marks make him seem more relevant than he is. Required player though!

Yes it's hard

Indeed. There's a reason why all the forum "veterans" liked my post - after a while you read rumours like this and just think "yeah, sure". I started out believing everything, then I moved to being annoyed by all the false rumours, now I sit happily at just smirking and having a laugh each time I read a new one.

It never even enters my mind these days that this could possibly be true, it's just automatic dismissal.

Howe could be a great player. Has dedication and commitment to the contest. His marking is clearly a feature. BUt his turnovers and goal kicking are real weaknesses that must be corrected.

Also another one of Neelds players that consistently is told to play in the wrong position IMO.

I'm pretty sure I heard an interview with Howe recently during which he said something along the lines of - "yeah, I need to keep continue developing aspects of my game etc. In future, I really want to get into the leadership group at THIS club".

As an aside, he made no mention of wanting to hang out at Rundle Mall on weekends.

Agree entirely.

But I think we are trying to turn him into Ryan O'Keefe and he should be very, very happy about that. A bloke who can get 22 touches and kick 3 goals is pretty bloody handy.

No, Colin, I wasn't talking about you. We stopped geting excited about two drunken incidents back.

Sometimes I am bewildered by the so called media.Only difference between Jarman and a bloke down at the pub talking crap is Jarman has a microphone.

MMM 's Rush Hour yesterday Jars claims Jeremy howe unhappy @ Melb & Crows chasing him. I hope not.

Howe, apart from some cracking marks has severely underachieved under Neeld.

rubbish! Howe would be right in there beside Tippett and Walker.

I didn't even think this was possible, you have taken a positive - made it a negative - and blamed Neeld.

Again, not everything just slots nicely into your pre-determined argument.

All it does is make you seem a tad foolish.

Let's see your argument in a sentence: "Howe has improved, but if Neeld wasn't there he would have improved more."

How do you know that, TPM?

I have knowledge of alternate realities, rpfc.

Oh. Are you taken more seriously in that alternate reality?

Not so much, no.

Ah.

Geeze if he has "severely underachieved under Neeld" then please let him KEEP ON UNDERACHIEVING!

While we are at it, get the whole team to stop achieving and give this "underachieving" ago, thats where we must be going wrong!

Howe has been good this season, and for a 29 game player he has been fanbloodytastic.

He is going like Jamar had already signed for the Filth ... people get ready to hear nearly everyone of our half decent players being unhappy and wanting to leave.

    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,
