  • 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.

Question is ... would you try to sign Blease for two or for three years?

Three for me. The future looks rosy for Sam.

This should be our main priority at the moment. Then sign Rivers.

I would give him a 3 year deal. With some big incentives thrown in his contract

I agree with this, 3 years at a fair price, with bonuses when playing x amount of games and coming top 5 in B&F. I'm sure there'd be more they could put in but that's where I'd start.

His manager will only want to sign him for 2. He is a player whose value in 2 years could be very hard to guage now.

The most pleasing part of the interview is the mention of the extra work he is doing in preparation for next pre-season. This is the comments that the good teams make and is starting to be heard more and more in MFC interviews.

It would be completely unacceptable and an indictment on the fans if the club didn't sign him. There are simply no excuses. Get it down. Losing both Scully and Blease would simply be unacceptable. It would be the same at any club.

I'm not sourcing or divulging my 'sauces' but I'm telling you all right now that Blease will not be going anywhere.

He is so appreciative of how the Club supported and counselled him during his major injury. Further, he has several very close mates (Gys is one of them) and he loves the place.

Will sign.

Get it done.

Skills, pace and goal sense.

Surprised you're not excited, H. You want talent, Blease has more talent than most on the list, and only has one (fixable) flaw.

If Howe got 3 he deserves 5. Definitely worth a 3 but will see how they structure other players. Just off topic but do GWS and GC have selections in the pre season draft. In their first years I think they didn't for some reason.

Fix the first and the second will follow.

He's already making inroads on the defensive side, it's just that he's knackered half the time.

I like the fact that it is well advertised about Sam's lack of fitness/defensive acts he knows it,we know it and even the commentators know it but he is working on it and you can see some improvement already. Here is someone who wants to be better and is/will work his ass off to get there.

Sam Blease is a bright light at the end of a long and dark tunnel that is MFC.

His potential is enormous and he is one of the players we need to ensure remains a Demon.

Those on the list marked 'to be signed in October if we can't recruit better replacements' are not in the same class as Blease.

With Blease, Tom McDonald and Howe all having had good seasons and with Clark, Jurrah, Jamar and Watts to return from long term injuries I think we are showing positive signs.

Some top draft selections will be 'icing on the cake'. A couple of tough, ready to go types like Jack Viney would be a good start.

My only frustration with Blease is he can put on the pace when he is going for goal but cant do the same when chasing an opponent.

However I know he has been working on this and interesting to hear Neeld say he spoke to Sam about his defensive side of things after the first few rounds and Sam just looked at him like he had no idea what Neeld was on about. I know Blease missed a bit of footy with his leg but wouldnt the previous coaches helped Blease with this and taught him to be defensive.

Anyway I was rapt for Blease yesterday and hope we can see him play good consistent footy and build on it into 2013.

2 months ago everyone wanted him to [censored] off to GWS with his mate Tom...

I will also rah rah this post...

Seriously though, about 4 of our most neurotic and hopeless Landers said he was off.

Most of the rest of us have a modicum of confidence and calm.

Few Eric Pierces' amongst you lot, Blease has been a gun for a fair few games now.

He don't need to kick 5 to tell me that.

I'd sign him for a duration that Blease is after and pay him well.

We got a fair few to delist and a couple more high paid players on the way out.

The kid has X factor and everything else we need and above all, he works damn hard.

Once he gets a tank, he'll rack you up 10 tackles a game regularly - and thats only a small part of the package.

    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,

    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
