  • 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 figured there would be one anyway so I thought Id get it started. For anyone attending can they please answer some questions for me.

1) Was Moloney there and were there other players missing

2) Speeches. I presume Don and Mark will speak. What did they say

3) Im assuming Jones will win. What did he have to say.

And was there any other important news.

It would be great if someone could report these back.

I will respond on what they will stay

1) Moloney will be there and will hand the medal to Nathan Jones

2) Don's speach Thanks for coming we all know it has been a tough year on the field, we are not happy with what transpired and we are looking forward to a much improved 2013. Off feild we will be profitable we had Opel re-commit for a second year and a number of sponser options that we are working through. Like to pay our respects to Jim, the first B&F with out him, thanks Jim for all you have done.

MN Speach, firstly thanks to the members and supporters for coming out to barrack for us when we know it has been hard to stick with us. 2012 has been hard we have changed the whole footy department and we will hopefully see our results change in 2013. Boys look around these are the people we let down, we have to prepare ourselves over the next 6 weeks for what will be another hard pre-season, there are no excuses this year be ready for October 29, we have to make our supporters want to come and watch us play, they turned up this year and we have to give them reasons to turn up next year.

3) Jones, thanks to the coaches support staff, family and supporters. Boys this year was crap, there is no way we are putting up with this in 2013.

There will be more fluff but these will be the main points.

I'd like to know if Moloney, Rivers, and Royal go. (Would expect so on all accounts, but who knows?!)

And geez I'd love it if Clark gives a speech!

Will he talk about not deviating off any lines? And that if someones does, they can go to Carlton, or wherever?

You talking about Clark or Moloney?

Clark seems a passionate bloke, and is part of the leadership group, doesn't need to talk about the players leaving, needs to focus on the players staying.

I don't understand why you'd love for Clark to speak.

Much of what you just wrote is Moloney to a tee 12 months ago.

Why wouldn't Royal go? I haven't heard anything about him getting the sack.

What do you want our leaders to say?! As I explained, Clark is part of the LG, and seems a passionate and down to earth guy, would love for him to set a positive and proactive tone for the preseason.

I'm just saying that that's pretty much what I heard from Moloney at the B and F 12 months ago.

I get ya. But as I was saying, I would like to hear something more positive and proactive for the boys that WILL be there, rather than agro at whoever is leaving.

Neither have I, but his contract is up and if he happened to not be there it would speak volumes.

I was under the impression he was still contracted for next season....are you sure he is done?

1.Jones

2.Grimes

3.Rivers

4 Howe

5.Trengove

6.Clark

Except for poor ol' Trenners, who shouldnt make top 2o!.. he'll cope with it all better next year imo..

Absolutely agree with everything else.

I think Dan Nicholson should top 1o, he was superb this year!

Expect the same next year from Evans, as Nicho moves into the midfield.

If Jones was overlooked tonight.. ha.. id burn down the freakin 'G!!!

{-i actually wouldnt really mods: you ever erasing, beastly powerful overlords, who we just love having 'round the place-}

EDIT: actually, replace Trenners with Tom McDonald! he deserves top 5 after his remarkable season.. king of the 1%ers our boy tom!

Why do we always seem to trade our best a fairest winner a year or two after they win it.

History will tell you that winning the bluey medal isn't exactly the best thing.

Please be Morton, please be Morton, please be Morton, please be Morton......

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

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.
