  • 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.

I don't want Nahas or Riewoldt. Both are overrated. Riewoldt would be a cultural disaster for us. All he does is point and yell. I think the plan is to get rid of those types.

Nahas would be a perfect small forward for us. Iv seen the guy change the flow of games on several occasions. Including against us.

Good news re Strauss - Wouldn't mind the Dees signing up Blease either!!!

Both finally starting to show potential!!!

Anyway back to the rumours - I think we get compensation from the AFL if Rivo decides to leave????? And yes he is a Un-restricted FA and can move to any club he likes....

If riv or Moloney leave I hope we get a late 2nd rounder at least.

also mentions that charlie dixon could be on the move. if we could get a deal done that involved day and dixon (although this is obviously unlikely to happen), we could go along way to building a young and promising forward line, a bit like wce with kennedy, darling, cox/naitanui and lynch

Day and Dixon -> Moloney, Petterd, 3rd round pick

YES!!! Dixon is a massive unit! Dixon & Clarky! Big forward line with Howe roving or pinch hitting!

Would have Dixon!

Someone of big fish staus will end up at MFC. The time has come where we can & will compete with all other clubs involving trades.

The Demons are ready to rock financially but will no doubt be smart about all trades.

This is as exciting as it gets for us this year being trade time which is sad.... but if this is what it takes then we go get em!

You seen Brent Moloney play?

Can't divulge too much, but my mail tells me he's been wooed and is getting quite chuffed by the attention he's getting from a couple of clubs.

Oh dear.

Trust our luck that he pulls a great game out of his behind just as we get contract negotiations started.

FML!

Blease will stay, my mail is he's happy with club and Neeld. If as you say he's enjoying the attention it's because it's added $50-100k to his salary. But he will be in red & blue for the next 3 years at least

Hope so - but, I'm nervous as my mail is quite close to the boy.

btw, PSD, how's our small forward progressing, the left footer? is he still ripping them up?

Then they can pay overs for the kid.

Will be hard, players can leave if they are not in the clubs top 25% of paid players......would think we could match any bids that come our way if we are super keen to keep him, which we will be. Not 100% how all that side of free agency works.

Yep Richo still going well probably on target to kick 50 as a small forward, but in a very good side, Tigers have WAFL in the bag unless they fall into a massive hole, on the WAFL one kid worth a look at who could slip through to 40's/50's Marco Paparone decent size mid doesn't have great speed but does possess a good tank for a young in. Good footy brain and from the couple of games I've seen could be a poor mans Simon Black. Could be worth a punt if he is still there with our third round pick the kid seems to me to have great work ethic and to get the most out of himself, believe he would fit in well under Neeld

Whats this rule now?

I thought that if a player left they need to go into the draft?

i think he's getting mixed up with some new rule that's a part of free agency.

As i said i think its a free agency thing, but clubs can match the wages offered to some players, maybe the top 25% on their list, if they dont match the wages the player can leave. This may only be for restricted free agents or i am confused?

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.

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

    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
