  • 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.

Woweeee still not on the list. Who was gonna play instead of rodan in those games he played? What an injured taggert? Tynan? Or you are a magner sympathiser? Gonna blame neeld for him too?

In your quickness to have a crack at me you failed to realise that I was not having a go at Rodan and his recruitment at all.

Should we be looking at Jurrah as a rookie?

No

We should forget about Jurrah unless he shows some serious signs of being ready to dedicate himself to AFL again and strings together some very good form in the VFL. Otherwise, no chance.

There would seem very little downside to listing him as a rookie, IF Roos assess him as having appropriate application and dedication.

first time post guys so go easy i think it is a must to trade pick 2 for adams and gws's compo pick to draft freeman and then use pick 20 on dunstan if he slides

welcome b&ritH.

I like your thinking

but is Adams available to Us? I've almost given up hope of getting this deal thru. he or his management has made no noises about whether he would come to the Dees.

Frankenstein may well turn out to be "damaged goods" and end up poisoning the young GW$ list. They are welcome to him, IMO.

Spot on Belzebubsy, the AFL caves in to pressure regarding our priority pick and yet there's always some small print available to GWS that enables them to squeeze another top liner into their team. Can you imagine the All Star line up they'll have by 2016. Sure, no one in Western Sydney will give a flying flock about them but we will be force fed a diet of what a great achievement it is.

RTG don't stir me up! According to Vlad we have an ample seam of young kids on our list, a big kid who has not played an AFL game, a father son and Jimmy T. Gee that look out Hawks! We need help, a second round priority was a minimum I thought. But no it's GWS that gets it all. They have already passed us for heaven sacks but still they get more. Scully on a squill ion and now it looks like Buddy on two squillion. Is there anything more we can do for them?

Not a bad scenario B&R Head. GWS need to reduce their list, and this effectively does that by 1 and upgrades them for a compo and and a player that was going to leave anyway. The issue is, does Adams want to become a Dee and what is his asking price? Personally, I'd also prefer Couch to Freeman. However, welcome aboard the SS Madhouse.

Stress less old fella. Jonesy will be a Dee for a long time yet - there isn't anything we'd take from Geelong for him that they'd offer up.

He is also possibly in line for the captaincy. Nate bleeds for the club, he won't be going anywhere.

Hate it, D. :P

And sounds like really big rubbish!

As many thought when he first reported Paul Roos to the Dees as a done deal. .

Not saying it's going to happen, but with Bolton, Mattner, Morton and probably Mumford and White coming off the books, that would clear some space in the cap.

You are being too cryptic for me. What is the meaning of your hieroglyphics?

we got penalised for list managing last summer prior to the 2013 season. the same list managing that nearly all other clubs did as well, even if they did it more stealthily.

they way I see it, all the commissions outcomes are all done with a great deal of massaging an outcome. & virtually No public notice of the actioning.

I feel Sure we are being watched over since 12 months ago, & I feel sure some things will drop into our hands, all things being equal?

we'll have to await, & see what transpires. but I reckon/hope we will come out of things OK.

a theory, time will tell.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
