    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.

Smacks of desperation by the Dees. It looks like Pederson was a "must have" no matter what the cost.

Obviously clearing the decks with Morton and Cook.

We now need some run and spread players with hurt factor. Can't see it happening this trade period.

Think of the Pedersen trade this way - we traded a player out that we didn't see as best 22, and I suspect not even close, for a player we expect to be best 22 and play an important structural role.

It's a big win for me.

Should have been the "Gillette" Delistings, either it's a close shave or you get cut.

Great. We give up the player we took at 11, who everyone agrees has talent and is still young, for a 25 year old VFL player who can't get into North's side and wasn't even good enough to be drafted as

By the time this trade/FA/draft period ends, excluding any rookies we add and obviously Hogan, every single player we will add will add to the side immediately, including Viney and most likely whoever

Out: Moloney, Rivers, Jurrah, Morton, Gysberts

In: Byrnes, Rodan, Pederson, Dawes

Nothing to jump up and down all excited about guys...

Well said, I for one think Gys and Cale had alot of upside and let them both develop a bit more. Cale for pick 88??? We should have kept him. Gys for another "big" forward. I am of the opinion we need ball carriers and speed. Im not sure we have done that. Time will tell

Rivers and Gys are the losses, we got nothing from Morton, Moloney or Jurrah this year.

we fill 2 of our needs small forwards and tall forwards. Add 2 more mids in viney and pick 4 and i think we have the balance right.

You cannot add 3 young mids in one year it will throw the balance out, when you can draft someone just as good as them next draft and spread the load.

Cale and Gysberts must have been rates as the lowest of our prospective mids, especially with Viney and Pick 4 to move into their roles.

We needed to cut some wood somewhere, it is unfortunate, will be very interested to see how both go, Gysberts more than Morton, but both still have "potential"

Pederson seems to be an upgrade of Seller for me, some of the things I've seen of him he appears to have some skill about him and a good mark. Rucking abilities aside, he could be a handy 3rd tall and depending on how mobile he could play as a hit up half forward with Dawes and Clark as deep forwards.

Whatever, welcome to the club Pedro.

I think he moves better and takes more marks than Sellar for starters, i think he is definitely an upgrade on Sellar.

Very misleading.

If Viney and Pick 4 are not included then neither should Moloney, Jurrah, Morton, and Gysberts were out of the 22 by the end of the year if they were in it at all.

How about this - From the Best 22:

Out: Rivers

In the space of two years we have gone from effectively no forward line, to having a world class FF, a solid foil in Dawes, a third tall in the Pedo, a future FF/CHF in Hogan, and two experienced smalls.

That's no options forward of 50 to a complete attacking line filled with permanent options and depth. It has been locked down for the next 5 years at least. Massive win.

From now on drafts are midfield centric with a look at filling remaining holes, as opposed to bridging major gaps in structure. Again- this is a win. We will have many forward options whilst some clubs have none. We will stretch every backline in the comp. That's a win before you even step on the park.

Confirmed he will be playing Forward/ Ruck. Sounds excited too!

The bloke can seriously play but Brad Scott opted to play spud Hansen instead of him this year which got alot of north supporters bewilded.. they really rated this bloke very highly! Talking to a mate who is a north supporter last night and he said he shatterd they are trading him off. Said what you will get with pedo is Workrate workrate workrate!! he is a one touch grab with a bit of x factor too. He kicked 8 goals in a VFL game last year too which is a veiw into what he could become for us.

Looks quite impressive against Port; has anyone got any footage of him playing against decent opposition?

Kelly O'Donnell took on a new, specialised role focusing on players at the secondary level and those out of favour/out of contract.

Pedersen's recruitment has got K O'D's paws all over it.

This is the first test of his role and of his abilities.

Fascinating.

Hopefully we've been KOtD.

Welcome to the MFC Pedo. Hope you do well.

But please, please do something about that hair.

If he can win some hitouts and kick straight, he can wear a purple wig and a pink tutu for all I care.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
