  • 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 wish him well also, good luck and a long successful career Jack.

From a Dee point of view it was interesting to see the bond between the players after such a short time. I've heard talk of Neeld not being a great communicator with players, well I think his impromptu speech was on the money and showed a lot of respect and you could see the feeling from everyone. If this kid really wanted to play with us after a couple of weeks at the club then Neeld and his FD must be doing a lot right.

Hey...we may well have a real team to support next year.

I agree that it was handled very well by the club and Neeld's speech was spot on without over-doing it.

I think it's fair to say though that considering Neeld is such a meticulous planner, this outcome had been rehearsed even though it wasn't the one we desired.

I'm disappointed too, but I see a couple of positives as well: 1) Jack Hannath's disappiontment is clear evidence of a special type of bond developing at our footy club, the likes of which I doubt

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2012-12-11/just-trying-to-get-my-thoughts-together What a bittersweet moment. He's obviously a loyal type of guy if he's formed that much of a bond with the boys already.

This is a superb moment capturing the emotion as Hannath is told he'll be playing AFL next year, but not with the Dees: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/tabid/8667/contentid/509476/default.aspx W

Just a pity they didn't just draft him in the first place

Maybe we can trade Hannath back next trading season? It's a shame that we have already traded our inspired No. 4 pick Cale Morton to West Coast.

Alas, poor Cale. I knew him, Horatio.

Gone but not forgotten, some people will just continue to kick you.

Chocolate pudding?

Well certainly not OUR magic pudding, that is for sure.

PS _ Is this a Jack Hannath thread or another Morton bash?

James Magner - Jack Hannath

Training with St Kilda drafted by melb

More like 'an eye for an eye'.

We cut their lunch getting Clark, they cut ours getting Hannath.

A small victory for them but at the end of the day who would you rather have on the list?

Hannath might get a game in round 1.

Damn... I mean I wish the kid all the best but it's a shame we don't have him as a backup to Jamar seeing as though Gawn is injured and the jury is still out on Spencil and Fitzy.

Is there any word at all on gawnius maximus? I must say I have become hugely despondent about him ever pulling on the R&B again.

I forgot that he was 201cm and 102kg! Mighty shame that we didn't leave a pre-season pick (instead of rookies) but to do that we would of had to either delist an extra player or have not picked up Terlich, M. Jones and Kent with our late picks. I would be p-ssed off if any of them turned out duds but so far that does not look to be the case! Ce ;a vie!

The big Gawnius Maximus..... Yeh must have been a mighty bad hammy tear! By the time he fully recovers from that and then builds up his fitness, he probably won't be considered for selection till halfway through the year i reckon....

    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,

    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

    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.
