  • 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.

Did he? That's no good to hear - I wish the kid all the best.

Mrs Robbie nearly shed a tear when we passed on Ollie, I must say I'm glad we got Toumpas but a bit sad we didn't get Wines.

Her new prediction for us next year is 10th instead of 9th.

Once again I will reiterate that the fact is the club will definitely pick Oliver Wines at 4 if available. Fact. If he's not available the club will pick up a mid and not a ruckman. Fact. Source:

Actually, if he had he wouldn't have done nearly as poorly.

This selection should be left up to the supporters, the football department have had their chance now it should be ours. All in favour of Wines?

how would you like to be sentenced to the basket case of Alberton. probably worse than going to Blacktown.

Totally agree. Siberian Salt Mines would have been far better.

Can't believe the dogs passed on him. I mean fair dinkum.

A top young kid, I hope he does really well at the Power. They need all the help they can get.

I'm shattered that the Viney/Wines midfield combo won't ever happen, was really looking forward to that :(

Maybe we can work out a deal :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

Pundits are saying he has the biggest "go home factor" out of the whole draft.

I would love for a josh caddy situation to happen,

Hell, caddy wanted out after the first year...

Hopefully he doesnt get too messed in the head in 12months lol

Just watched

Hard to watch - obviously I don't know him from a bar of soap but he doesn't seem thrilled about heading there. I wish the kid all the best and hope he enjoys his time wherever that may be.

I would be surprised if Wines wanted to leave Port after 2 years. Hinkley has a good rep with players and Wines seems to have the type of commitment clubs want. Unless something goes drastically wrong at Port then I think there might be a few here wanting their cake and eating too. Happy with Jack and Jimmy, look forward to seeing what careers they can build at Melbourne and future duals with Ollie at Port.

Just offer him a contract to come home back to Victoria and play with Jack, when the time is right.

But we need to be going better than Port for that to happen.

Thanks for digging up this thread.I said this back in October and still believe we erred not taking Wines,our only hope now is if he gets homesick a la Josh Caddy,but with the 2 years Wines will have before then,we'd have to give up a lot to get him.

We need to use Pick 4 on the most athletic of the best remaining mids for quick run & spread.

Lewis Jetta carved up the Hawks in the 3rd quarter as Mitchell & Sewell are great within 15 metres of the contest but don't spread well.

Viney isn't that quick either,we need a jet.

Wines was very impressive on Future Stars a few weeks ago,i'd be happy if we take him.

Melbourne should fly him here via a WebJet ticket, rent a Hertz car to get him to the club, then give him keys to a new Opel Insignia, with the boot full of MFC New Balance gear... And just let him know there is a contract in the glove box!

Oh well Ollie, see you in two years.

Sorry to depress everyone but...

"PORT Adelaide is poised to offer rookie sensation Ollie Wines an early mega-contract extension to tie him to the club until at least 2016. In an unprecedented club move for a player six games into his career, the Power has been so impressed by the strong-bodied Wines' early impact that it is already prepared to commit to him long term."

"Unprecedented"?

Haha good point.

Yeh I read adelaidenow.com as it's basically the herald-sun without the payroll but it does mean that there are stacks of adelaide and port articles that go into ridiculous hyperbole.

Maybe using Jimmy T's contract as a comparison is a bit sensitive (!) on this site at the moment due to the impatient fans getting paranoid that Oli's off to a better start.

He has a break even of 97 and he'll probably get that as well.

Wines for Priddis is a good trade this week and keep O'meara for another week or 2.

Ollie Wines is a star and all the first year players appear to have dropped off to some extent - other than O'Meara.

I think like most Port players at the moment, Ollie just needs a freshen up.

So Wines has been offered a two year extension on his contract, at 400k a year and not signed.

If we get a priority pick, we should trade one of our top picks to Port for Wines.. And give them a player too..

Wants to come back to Victoria, I'd be happy for this to happen..

    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

    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.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
