  • 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.


Who will we delist next week?

OK, now that trading is almost done our club gurus have to decide on final delistings.

So far 8 have gone - Davey, Davis, Gillies, Macdonald, Rodan, Sellar, Sylvia, Tynan plus Couch (rookie).

We have already picked up five - Tyson, Vince, Michie, Cross and Hogan.

Magner has to come on list as upgrade (unless he's delisted) and Clisby could be retained on rookie list or upgraded.

I can't imagine us not utilising three picks in draft, so that means at least one and possible two still need to be shown door next week.

Can I have your thoughts on likely two:

Almost all are already contracted, so it would appear we will need to cut someone who has a year to run on current deal.

I think we only have 3 out of contract.

Out of contract: Taggert, Nicho and Jetta.

Would like to get rid of Nicho (time is up - he is not part of our future)

Wouldn't mind lossing Jetta (could have a place as a small forward due to lack of opportunities though)

Would hate to lose Taggert (has lots of potential but has been plagued by injury)

Depending on how many spots we want to free up I reckon it would go in that order.

Out:

Davey (retired)

Rodan (retired)

MacDonald (retired)

Tynan (delisted)

Sellar (delisted)

Gillies (delisted)

Davis (delisted)

Couch* (delisted)

Sylvia (Free Agent)

In:

Hogan (automatic inclusion)

Michie (trade)

Tyson (trade)

Vince (trade)

Cross (delisted free agent)

Pick 9 (Freeman)

Pick 40 (Giles)

Pick 57 (J. Kolodjashnij)

Rookie Pick 2 (Thorp)

My Pick of what'sto come.

Out:

Jetta (delisted)

Nicholson (delisted)

Magner* (delisted)

In:

Pick 94 (Pongracic)

Pre-Season Draft Pick 2: (Garlett)

Rookie Pick 20 (Lever)

Would of loved to sign Weller as a delisted free agent instead of use Pick 94, but it sounds like Essendon will land him. I think Pongracic will be a great get at Pick 94 though and will add grunt and run to our midfield.

*For rookie listed player

Mr Spicable, I don't understand the numbers we need to get down to, but I know I'd like to keep the small forward types, for 1 more year. so Byrnes & Jetta.

I'd like to see Clisby® elevated onto the list, & I haven't seen Stark play, so I can't comment re him?

of these > I've put them into my order of interest, Byrnes, Jetta, Blease, Taggert, Tapscott, Bail, Dunn, Nicholson, Magner ®. So I think in my mind the time is up for any of these who are too slow, &/or haven't shown the tenacity to hold their ground on our list.

so I think some should be traded out of (Blease, Taggert, Tapscott, Bail, Dunn, Nicholson, & Magner ®),,, & some just cut.

over to you monsieur.

Yeah Nicho&/Jetta are no gr8 losses, but I'd like to keep Taggert.

i think bail is prob most likely to be first up, id still like to see nicho in a tag role given his run ability. unfortunately magner will prob be gone. with 5 mids in theres only so many we can hold on to.

We should pay him out and delist for his own good and ours. Too many concussions.

A decided validity to this thinking. Guy needs to think big picture...its just footy.

Magner gone - dont understand why but obviously a problem somewhere

Taggart - round 2 pick (36 overall) 2011 draft and has not cracked a game in the worst team in the comp. Another shocking draft pick

Fortunately we do have a bit of room in the cap if we need to pay someone out for more than this year. Not an ideal option, but one I'd like to think they may consider.

WOULD be stoked to delist Pedersen and pay out never happy to get him and dont feel he has anything to offer

Roos might do good things with perderson.

Roos also wanted to draft Gysberts, could there be a rookie position available, third time lucky, and the boy really could find the ball.

We really need a small forward, garlett would be perfect.

    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.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
