  • 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.

This guy from Carlton is impressive, starved of oppurtunities because of Gibbs Murphy Robinson Simpson and co. love his poise and attack on the footy, who love him at the MFC in 2014. Wouldn't mind having a Crack a Denis Armfield too. Pesty player who can hurt teams at times.

Please god, no. We already have enough people who can't kick.

We need stars, not more depth players.

Please NO MORE Sellars, Gillies, Rodans, Pedersons.... etc

so should Sydney give back mcglynn and Kennedy?

We certainly don't need any more cast aways especially old ones but a midfielder entering his prime who can play I'd take for sure

Quick fixes dont work in a mediocre team

Its as plain as day that our current crop of players are just not playing to their capabilities and some might even go as far as saying they are not playing for the coach

There is no doubt that some of the players we have are not AFL standard

With a group of our younger guys still requiring time to develop we are miles away from being competive against a top 8 side

Cannot see anymore than 4 wins for the season so may as well play the future not the past

Right, so we're Sydney? We have enough top players that we can afford to get more depth players? It's PLAIN to see we NEED A-Grade midfielders.

I think he could be a decent option. Fringe player in a strong midfield like Carlton's. And anyone here going on about getting stars if you can put up an example of a star we can get then please do. Otherwise guys like these are decent options to look at. Remember Grigg and Houli were also not getting muh game time at their clubs and are both doing ok at Richmond.

Either star mids from other clubs or top draft midfield prospects, Having said that if the bloke was a free agent that we'd get for nothing he would be worth considering after my first two points had been explored fully

    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,
