  • 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.

take him at pick 21 if durmont and dunstan arent there?

Nah, too early.. Third round and should be there.

Dumont, Dunstan, Crouch or Taylor - one will be there at 20/21 and are all quality players.

I think Dunstan might be there and I'd take him before Jones, not sure the others will be there.

Although, Brodie Grundy slipped last year - as did Kennedy and I expected both to go top ten, especially Grundy.

Grundy is something else.. Never seen someone so young who can dominate as a ruck like he did against Hawthorn. I was salivating over him watching those taps and follow ups.

Nathan Jones' 17 year old brother is tearing it up at the Dandenong Stingrays'

He's just been on the TAC future stars show.

Assuming he's of the same attitude and application as his bro, grab him now recruitment team. I want more Jonesies. Brothers of most of our other players need not apply.

I will admit I haven't seen him play- anyone have footage? But I'm growing warmer to this brothers playing in the same team thing. Is it something that Roosey will go for?

Imagine we had brothers again playing in the same team. I think it would only have a positive affect on the team having that kind of bond and the rest of the players can feed off that.

I think you would change your mind if you saw all the Grimes Kids. They younger they are the better they are.

Kid needs to settle down with this good form or he won't be there at our 3rd round pick.

Too right! Nate, get into his ear and make him have a shocker, maybe even spit the dummy at his team mates, the coach and the umpires a couple of times. All with a wink, of course.

Zak Jones put in a starring performance in last week's comeback win over Calder Cannons, with 28 disposals, 10 tackles and 10 clearances.

The hardened half-back has moved into a midfield role and is also pushing up the draft order after a stellar season.

"He's become an elite player at this level," Yeats said.

"He's tough, runs straight, competes, and would eat a footy. He's a little bit mad, so we give him very simple instructions about his role and we let him go."

Slow down Zak!!!

If we lose Sylvia which to be honest i think we probably will unfortunately, we should get around pick 25 as compo, i'd use that on Jones, yes it's possibly pulling the trigger early but if you had to personify what our side needs, this guy does.

The more I hear, the more I like. I would be willing to spend an early second rounder on him, he sounds like just what we need, and I like the idea of the Jones boys playing together- pushing each other, and the sense of brotherhood and unity this list needs.

Get it done MFC or I'll be dissapointed.

Not a chance. First of all he won't be rated that highly and secondly we will no doubt be taking at least one FA ourselves, so the compo will be diluted. Most likely if we take Cross and Sylvia walks it will be seen as an even swap.

    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.
