  • 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.

One more piece of news from me.

I was told bysomeone who works at the club, that the club was shocked over how many payers asked to e traded last year.

Some left, but there are still a handful who asked to leave , but are still playing in the team

??? I'm shocked they were shocked. Players wanted to go to other clubs that are either successful or be just wanted out of the MFC horrible culture... No really?! Who has there head in the sand?

One or two posters were saying this as early as the begining of last year. It has been my opinion alll along. I wish I could name names. Edited by Muvver Jones

If they ask to be traded, let them go.

They are useless if they don't want to play for the jumper.

Who cares where we pick them, offload them.

If Frawley is one, and thinks he can be a running backman at another club, off ya go.

We have a few untouchables.. Howe, Clark, Jones, Viney, Tom Mac, Grimes and Blease.

If anyone else asked to be traded, I'd open the door for them.

Players will be keen to leave this year, because Moloney, Pettard and Rivers will most likely have good years

and it will give our players an excuse that they aren't that ordinary.

But, truth is, Moloney would've had a decent year if he stayed, but he would've still bombed it into the forward line with no direction.
Pettard still would've turned it over and Rivers would've killed it like he always has when he's got on the park.

They will step in on Monday morning my friend.

RR - I heard something similar on Thursday night from a friend attending a meeting launching another league. He told me than within the next four weeks, the AFL will step in and there will be many, many changes. I had my doubts on Thursday but its seeming a possibility after yesterday.

Yep Jane, it's only logical. We are damaging 'the brand'. And that's pretty much the beginning and the end of it.

Why can't you name them? Does it matter at this point?

Not naming them but can be idenfied as required players. Players with some experience. If things dont change quickly it will come to the stage where we have to restart almost from scratch like GWS and GCS. Edited by Muvver Jones

Let me name the dead wood for you: Sylvia, Jamar and Watts. There are also players like Tapscott, Gillies, McKenzie, Byrnes and Rodan who will not perform without a complete change of coaching and game plan. I am also convinced that we need to drop those who do not want to put in and play the youth: Taggert, Tynan, Kent, Barry, Evans and Davis. Play these guys and see what they have got. Drop a couple off the main list and upgrade Couch and Magner. Both those guys would kill for a spot in our starting 22.

The AFL just spent months damaging this brand while saying that everyone else that tanked was ok, maybe they should look at the damage they are doing to the brand. by the way where is the drugs investigation going besides nowhere, so if essendon players are found guilt do they loose any premiership points?

Rock Bottom.

They've all got to go.

Neeld's pre-match address was mind-bogglingly inept. Poor bloke's lost the dressing room. Got no idea.

McLardy, Schwab ... on yer bikes. Resign now for the good of the club.

Or we go the way of Fitzroy.

What's your agenda RR? You trying to kill the club? Would you find that satisfying in some demented way?

Or are you just trying to be the 'know all' on the site again ...

Cop a tip - it's not actually about you.

I think what he was saying is you can criticize all you want but if you don't have any alternative suggestions then you're no better than those you criticize.

What part of the AFL will need to step in don't you understand?

These jokers couldn't run a primary school fete.

Gotta agree. I have never made negative comments about another poster but I am going to now...

Range rover you seem to take a perverse glee in the club's darkest hour. Stop sticking the boots in. We all know about the massive issues we are faced with so give it a rest. Don't let your negative karma bite you I the arse is all I can say.

    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
