  • 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.

yes but Jack Viney wasn't born like you and I, he burst out of his mothers womb/stomach and ran straight onto the MCG.

Slight sidetrack, but I just saw ad for 9 news tomorrow night (Monday) highlighting an interview with Sam Stynes on life post Jim. 6pm I think.

kid's a Stynes. He wouldn't allow it that he was there as any charity . He'd want to make a statement. He'd have to understand who's shadow he'd be in. He'd also want to stamp the moment as his.

Might be interesting. :)

Probably rookie the lad.

Some fairly decent players have come that path.

There was a bit of buzz about him a year or so back. Did he not live up to expectations?

He ran around for Casey didn't he... Did anyone see him play?

I just read this thread (commencing 2013) from start to finish. Summary:

- Promising junior - ball accumulator at that level

- Had a strong 2014 - "certainty" to make it

- Had a pretty poor 2015 and suffered some injuries, and was apparently told earlier in the year to improve his tank or the MFC wouldn't look at him

- Form picked up late in the season.

I have no idea what to make of any of it. Gut feel is that I doubt we'll take him.

Running out of spots for him - we only have 4 spots on the list for 3, 7, 46, and 50. Harmes has yet to be signed either for the PL or the 3rd year RL from what I have read.

Not sure the state of Michie's contract - I had him down as OOC next season but his player sponsor said it was this season. Hunt would find it difficult to survive the next delist window.

Lovett is up against to get a spot purely because we don't have many...

Maybe a rookie spot?

I think the club would go for him if it could place him on the rookie list but otherwise, I don't see him as a top 50 contender which would rule him out for us in the national draft.

Pity because his father was a late bloomer in that he spent a couple of seasons playing in the reserves at Hawthorn before crossing to Melbourne where he wasn't an overnight sensation.

Good decision by the club.

Yep, agreed. I'm disappointed we've decided to pass on him but the club clearly feels he needs to make some inroads regarding his fitness and endurance. I'd much prefer him earn his spot on the list through hard work and merit rather than be awarded the position because he's a father-son prospect.

well, if he was a rookie, odds are he would play all year at casey

and now most likely he will join casy and play at casey all year anyway

so, depending on how he handles it he may not be losing too much

he'll get lots of support from mfc and his family and i hope he makes it

    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,
