  • 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

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.

    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

    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,
