  • 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 agree with stuie - the cost would be low but so too would the probability of success. Aussie has proven unequivocally that he doesn't have the stomach for the workload required to play AFL nor the inclination to live in Melbourne. I loved Aussie and I hoped he'd make it, but this would be a complete waste of time and money.

Agree. He is apparently so out of condition, it would take 3 preseasons to get him half fit.

I'd love Aussie back. Knows how to kick a sausage and brings genuine excitement to the crowd and his teammates. The small forward position is screaming out for a fit Aussie.

Lol. 3 pre seasons! Any one remember Stewie Dew? He was a candidate for Jenny Craig & look at where that ended.

Dew was happy to stay with his club and train hard. Prepared to give his all for the cause. Aussie just wanted to go home and catch turtles with his mates.

Is that what he wanted to do? Ohhh ok. Didn't have anything to do with his father passing away & him fulfilling his family/tribal obligations during a period of mourning?

You will recall we stood by him during this period. Is he currently playing, I believe not. I loved the little guy, but he lacked the necessary dedication to make it in Melbourne.

Yeh we stood by him & he chose to go back to his community which was entirely his call to make & one only someone in that situation could understand. I don't have the slightest idea if he's playing currently. Don't really care if he has what it takes to make a return. To say it would take 3 pre seasons to get upto fitness if he wanted to make a return is ridiculous.

Every player we draft is a gamble, Aussie has his pro's and con's like all.

I'd risk a late pick (50+) if he demonstrated his hunger prior to draft (i.e. major fitness bootcamp)...

Nup, it could be as a rookie, or not at all.

He doesn't deserve another Big payday, until he's proven his desire & work ethic.

When did he say that. I thought he said he was playing competitive football again.

he also mentions that he used to 'hate' having to watch what his weight and skin folds and then goes on to explain that when he got back home the first thing he did was eat 2 whole magpie geese by himself

Not sure on Wonna. Loved the theatrics. Was never fit enough for Bailey's game plan. He is a mile off Neeld's demands. He'll need at least 2 pre seasons to get in shape. He is coming from a long way back. No harm in trying again. I reckon he will struggle for a rookie spot...anywhere

Agree- his mindset is the issue..

    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

    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.
