  • 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.

Oh did we? Guess we cant recruit him now!, A bunch of demonlanders dont like the idea.

You guess right. In case you missed the last 20 odd years, light, outside, undersized opportunists who go missing when the heat is on have seen us lose pretty much every game in which hard-nosed, big-bodied, head-over-the-ball competitive animals were needed to stop us getting monstered.

Nahas appears to have fallen out of favour with the coach, like Ball did with Lyon and more recently Savage with Clarkson.

Had kicked 97 goals from 77 games coming into this season and he's 25.

I'd be happy with getting him as a Delisted FA.

I don't know about Savage falling out with Clarkson, I don't see any evidence that he did, but I do know that Ball, fallen out or not was, is and always will be much better footballer than Nahas.

Nahas can't get a game with the tigers because he is a greedy little ego-brat. can't see his team-mates for the goal-posts.

Agreed - forward pocket isn't just a position for rotating midfielders.

i think a few coaches might disagree with this especially this season as the rotation cap comes in

wouldn't be surprised if it is further reduced in coming years

forward flankers and pockets will be increasingly used as midfield rotations

some specialist forwards (non KPF) might survive but they will become rarer

Not worthy of pick 9 and unlikely to be available at pick 40, how exactly would the "gamble on Garlett" happen?

If we can get him at pick 40, great! And its a gamble on attitude. If not available, oh well!

If you want Nahas, even as delisted FA, then you have have list space to fit him in and therefore be prepared to give up pick 57 or Jetta or Nicholson for him.

I'm not sure I'd even give up Nicholson for him. Nahas is a complete spud. How this has gotten to 4 pages is amazing.

Not certain this is a criticism Wretched. Robbo and Brad Green for example weren't noted for giving the ball off if they were within a taxi trip of the goals. Milne and Harvey likewise ( even though I hate both those rats) did likewise. In the past Kevin Bartlett was called Hungry - it goes with the territory.

Ridiculous comment... hope we take him just to p!ss you off. I for one think he would be a good get if he costs us nothing.

He definitely adds something that we don't have, a small crumber with genuine pace.

Someone delete this please?

No point talking about it anymore.

Actually we quite often revisit threads like this one when said player carves us up and we passed on an opportunity to sign them for next to nothing.

Complete Spud???

In his best year 2012 (22 games) he averaged 1.6 goals a game from and average of 13 disposals around 36.8 goals for the year (23 rounds), well above our best foward for last year and definately better than any of the existing small forward options mentioned. He made 83 tackles averaging 3.8 a game. Both of these stats are incidently higher than Jack Kings. He is definately not a spud and crumbing around our talls kicking 36 goals for a late draft pick in my opinion would be a good thing.

There is obviously a reason King is preferred at the Tiges but I back in Roos to make him the player we need and I recon he would be a great pick up for the Dees.

Clearly missed the earlier post where he joined North.

Nahas might have been handy but I'd rather develop an extra midfielder each week. Plus I think we really need 3 draft picks in the ND.

I wouldn't be using King as the benchmark for anything, the Tiges are going nowhere until he is moved on.

    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,

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.
