  • 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.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BERNIE VINCE

I believe the rumours that give us the best players for the least cost. The other ones are garbage.

Ralph just tweeted that someone on Twitter who is in the know has claimed that it could be Vince, McKernan and Henderson for Pick 2. Not taking that too seriously as the bloke he quoted on Twitter has no followers but on the other hand Ralph wouldn't re-tweet it if it didn't have some possibility too it.

One minute they say Pick 2 not involved, the next minute this. God bless trade week.

McKernan is not needed due to being a tall forward. Ricky Henderson is practically Jack Watts.

No thanks

Why don't we chuck in Viney with that deal too? You know, just to make it fair

As laughable as that deal sounds you can't help but have a small part of you worry about it after Mahoney said we are more likely to swap Pick 2 for players rather than a great player! ;)

Very true. I don't personally think that deal is a possibility and if it was FB or a 'mate' suggesting it then I wouldn't bother, but I figure someone like Jon Ralph putting it out there means there is a least a small amount of merit in it.

Why Jon Ralph is as much of a tool as Barrett Hutchy and the rest of the sycophants. He retweeted a brain fart someone had, wouldn't read too much into it.

Don't bet on it, 94.

Recent history would suggest that if administrators are not stupid when they come to Melbourne, then something at MFC soon changes that.

As laughable as that rumour is, we have done crazier things than that in the past.

God, I hope I'm just being a cynical old .art.

Has a Victorian girlfriend apparently

What position does she play? I hope she's an on-baller.

I guess if I pursued this further I would again risk censure by some of our more zealous moderators, so I will just have to leave it up to your imaginations.

I didn't intend the humorous banter that has occurred as a result of my post. Funny how things develop.

I was suggesting that Vince's girlfriend living in Melbourne was not all that significant given that she would not be playing for us.

I understand, none the less, that it could help entice Vince to come to Melbourne (city) and hopefully play for MFC.

Sorry can't agree. Bernie Vince is still a gun player and it shows how little a lot of Victorians watch Interstate Football when they deride such talented AFL players. Bring him in with Jarrad Lyons and pick up a couple more youngsters in the draft and Cross in the Pre-Season and we might actually start to win more clearances and amass more Inside 50's.

generally gun footballers finish in their club's top 10 in the B n F when they play 21 games.

Even gun players have an off year and Bernie fell out with the administration after his naked party antics on the grog.

John Ralph reported things post neeld sacking that only an inside source could have told him - like neeld making certain players cry and Moloney insisting Jamar always tap to him. These were facts that had to have come from an inside source since they were not public at the time. Sycophant or not he knew more about what was going on inside the club in the Neeld days than most supporters.

    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

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
