  • 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.

Oh come on, you're not that daft.

There may have once been some sort of pact, and they may have signed on for the most part, but that's because they can tell they're odds on to win a flag there with their mates if they stay.

It's not because a handful of them made a pact as teenagers.

No, no, my mail came in late last year.

It wasn't a witches' coven or some sorority prank....a group of players pledged that they would all sign on to see how far they could go.

That's all. No need to believe me.

I think it all depends on what they're offered by other clubs. Unless they get Boyd-like money, there's not currently a great reason to leave. I'd give Treloar Boyd-like money though. But that's just me. Apparently, Collingwood have offered him $750k. That shouldn't be enough to prise him, unless he really wants back to Victoria.

750k?

Gee whiz...and he does a knee? Wow.

Clubs are getting desperate.

I hope our club stitches up Hogan ala Freo with Pav....they managed to hold onto him.

We have a better young list than Fremantle. I know Fremantle look good atm, but Pav, Sandilands, Mundy, Johnson, and even Barlow, aren't too far off retiring. When Fremantle go through that inevitable football regression - where they slide outside the 4, MFC will be going through the opposite - hopefully anyway. It is all about timing, and IMO, the timing will be on our side in regards to Hogan.

haven't looked at the Freo list, but if what your saying is right, then Rossy Lyon had better do better with his list, than he did at the Saints.

Exactly, it's like continuing to talk about a player we could have drafted three years ago.

more like temporarily close & pin, for a later date

again we should have gone hard for him when he wasn't a name 2 years back.

just like Danger & Boak back about 5 yrs or so.

Its should be Henderson now... & Prestia. et al.

We can offer pick 4 and Howe for Dylan Shiel. Thoughts???

Now that Shiel has signed, surely Treloar or Coniglio would be the target?

Happily give up either pick 4 (about correct weight) or Howe (a steal) for Coniglio.

I don't think Treloar would be realistic.

Totally different case. 3 Years ago Ollie Wines was available and wanting yes Wanting to get to the MFC!

Dylan Shiel already a GWS Player and clearly see's his team going places!

Time to wise up to the reality!

One we could /should have got , the other was just smoke and mirrors!

Moving on!!

No one cares with your retrospective carp anymore. Get over yourself.

And drink less......or maybe more.....

    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

    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.
