  • 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.

Morton has been told he is completing for a spot on the wing, finally will get a full year to have a crack at his favorite position. Don't forget this guy is a goal kicker.

Good on him, I wish the rest of the Casey Scorpions all the best for 2013 also.

Who me? Why would I be sarcastic when people are saying "get rid of Gysberts, Petterd, Jetta, Bennell, Rivers.... oh but keep Morton, 2013 will be his year"........?

Hate to spoil your night stuie but I am more than happy to see the back of Petterd, Jetta and Bennel. Rivers will probably leave of his own accord and our friend Morton I am neither here nor there.

What will probably save him is he has a contract and suitors don't seem to be beating down the door for him.

We are last mate a number of changes have to be made, those out of contract are in the most danger

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying keep all those players, far from it, I just find it strange that people can still see potential in Morton but not in those players that have actually shown more IMO. I know the guy is contracted etc etc, I just find the hope and the hate all a bit displaced.

Assuming Nicho and Evans are upgraded then, Viney, Byrnes, Pick 4, Dawes, Barry, PSD3 = 8

With Moloney, Green, Jurrah gone its 5.

Rivers compo will cancel itself out so 5 players to get delisted at this stage.

Now that would make an interesting thread "who are the Five?"

That would generate some interesting heated debate.

It would, its also interesting to note (I am assuming the rookie list becomes 4 this year with a larger senior list of 40?), then with Lawrence gone, Evans and Nicho upgraded we will have one free Rookie spot. So it may be possible to re-draft a delisted player with this spot if we need to, so possibly only four more will go.

I have a feeling that is what will happen to Bartram.

Me too, I would assume Bartram to be rookie listed.

Bate gone.

Cook to be delisted (Lets face it, Clark, Dawes, Martin (if he stays), Fitzy, Sellar, Rivers (If he stays), Garland, Pedersen (If we get him) and even possibly Watts are rated ahead of him in his current position).

The next two are debatable.

The "four" I would delist are.......Bartram...due to injury

Bennell

Cook

Davis

I think we will lose Rivers,Gysberts and I would consider Jetta,Martin, to go......

No idea why you would assume that Leigh Williams will be delisted. Looked pretty good when he was out there and considering he suffered a very serious illness he didn't have much of a shot at it. Definitely a keep for mine, especially if he has signed a 2 year rookie contract as per usual.

Would prefer to keep Davis rather than Martin particularly after Rivers departure. We would get some more weight for the compensation also. Suspect we have two more trades to be involved in.

You probably recall they did the exact same thing with Jordie Mckenzie in order to have them play out the full 3 yrs as a rookie they promise contract them an iron clad upgrade.

I do remember that, but I thought it was a special case rather than the norm.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
