  • 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.

The saints may end up in a similar position to us in the next couple of years - too many kids and not enough experience around the 26-27 age.

We didn't have Riewoldt and Jack Steven though.

They may end up doing it the right way. keep some basic maturity, that'll see them bottom 3 next year. pickup their 2nd season of draft harvest, & then add some more mature free agents with $$$$$$$.

Start their slow climb in 2015. End of 2015, grab some more kids on the slow climb up.

= Quick rebuild. but must have the kids on the slow burn development in the VFL, earning their games before call up.

There's a strong rumour that the Trade/Draft Rumour Mill thread has turned into a wishlist thread and there's no actual rumours in it at all ...

Having said that, it was smart of them to identify the opportunity to get Longer on the cheap, if the eliminated their main opposition by giving them the ruckman they wanted.

Got good value for McEvoy too in the process, but lost years of development.

I think once the final ins and outs of the trade period are tallied Pelchen will be looking pretty good.

Dal Santo and McEvoy out - Savage, Longer and Bruce in.

It does depend on decent drafting but they've got 3 top 20 picks

Would we be interested in Andrejs Everitt from Sydney if Carlton Can't get a deal done or is he just a younger fitter Pederson?

He'd definitely add something to the side but I'm sure if Roos wanted him, we'd be chasing him already. Maybe we are planning to try and pick him up in the PSD?

Although I think Brown is going around for another year Django.

He is but hes not quite the fierce adversary he once was. Hes not going to have a lot of decent experienced mates now. he can mind the kindergarten for Leppa ^_^

It seems like as soon as every trade is done there's an image of that player posted straight away wearing his new teams jersey...

We had all our trades done basically a week ago, yet the best we've had is Dom Tyson in a polo shirt. (I'm not including fellow demonlanders attempts at photoshop)

What gives Melbourne fc....get some pics of our new players up on the website....

It's an outrage. And here I am worrying about the midfield.

Go and help them out instead of complaining then. We are a very low budget club, in case you've forgotten.

Maybe if you did your research you will find out Bernie Vince and Viv Michie are on holidays, Daniel Cross is not even a Melbourne player yet. Leaving Tyson who is in Melbourne.

Seriously Far more important things to worry about then Players not in their Polo tops.. FMD..

Not much help with GWS holding the pick before us. Cannot see why they wouldn't pick him up?

They've committed to picking up Jed Lamb with that pick I believe.

Delaney too, but I don't know much about him.

You might be right, but I still think there are a couple of years of pain ahead for the saints.

At the very least it looks unwise to load up on draft picks in a shallow draft, but you're right that they've brought in established talent at the same time.

Obviously you'd be even more concerned if you were a Lions supporter.

It's funny you say that, because if you actually study it, some of our digital media is up there with the best in the AFL.

I wouldn't expect you to recognise that, though.

Heard of photoshop? all the other clubs have...If you've got better things to worry about, how about focusing on them rather than replying negatively to my post.

I'm sure there's a lot of supporters who can't wait to see our new players in the red and blue...this is highlighted by the fact that most other teams use the opportunity as a marketing tool...who knows, it may create a little bit of excitement and encourage a few people to sign on as members...we all know we need more of them.

Agree...we are lucky to have bergs and generally high quality videos being posted...

but surely we have a photoshop expert amongst the ranks.

Well if your that desperate go photoshop yourself.. having a sulk over the club not photo shopping players in their rightful colours? Wowee I can see Roos bursting into Melbourne headquarters ranting and raving because our media team haven't photo shopped our new blokes.....

    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,
