  • 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.

As reported in The Australian

Apart from Caddy and Jolly, the two names on the Suns' lips were Maverick Weller and Josh Toy. The out-of-contract pair appear in the Suns' sights as the Gold Coast looks to reduce its roster to 39 by October 31 to make room for its draft picks.

Josh Fraser's retirement and Nathan Krakouer's departure ensure five players must go and Ashcroft admitted Toy and Weller faced "nervous waits".

Maverick Weller was one of the 17 yo preference picks by the Suns. Very very highly rated junior, from Burnie in Tassie. Hard at the footy, good pace and skills. I think we can grab a good one here. He is out of contract after two years. I rate him in the same class as Tom Scully.

You had me up to, "I rate him in the same class as Tom Scully."

I also think it's important that we take a stand and refuse to draft or recruit kids with stupid names.

Anyone seen him play. He's slow and turns it over. Not interested. Toy has had a spectacular fall from grace since been touted as a top 3 draft pick, but I'd prefer him on potential alone. He had amazing skills as a junior it just seems he can't compete physically at AFL level yet (or maybe at all).

"Apparently" around 5 clubs have shown interest for him and trades are being considered... (Source: FB page "AFL trades, delistings, and other info

Would/should we be one of those clubs? Tough, fit, tackling 20 yo midfielder. Don't know how quick he is though, thoughts?

He has a 'Top Gun' tattoo on his arm. Can you get into the MCC looking like that?

Also, I'm intrigued: how does one become a maverick weller?

Sorry, this adds nothing to the thread. He hasn't done much yet, so recruiting him would be purely speculative. He wasn't memorable in the few games he's played against the Dees.

I know we are off the T$ bandwagon, but to say he is better than Scully is a bit much.

MEMO TO MFC: GO HARD TO GET WELLER

I rate him very highly. Great ability to get the footy. 3-year, $350k a year contract. Solid build. At 20 yo, he is as good if not better than Scully.

Are you the poster formerly known as Rassilon?

One of the clubs that his manager said was interested, Hawthorn, said they know nothing about it and didn't even know who his manager was. Wonder if it's Beamer's manager?

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
