  • 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.

Indeed, I thought it was inevitable that one of he or Nicholson would go.

He was a player I always wanted to make it, as he played with the right type of aggression and, as you said, heart. Didn't really have the tools in the end - no shame in that. Really nice bloke too apparently.

Thanks Nev.

I'm not surprised but am disappointed. Always like Nev as a player. I hope GWS give him a go.

Doubt it. His only hope to stay in the AFL would be as a Rookie for us.

He would be better off killing it in the VFL/WAFL for someone.

Looks like Nicho will survive then, hope he proves me wrong..... Liked Jetta, but couldn't get his body right or any consistency (which hasn't been easy for many @ MFC with all the regime changes), but nevertheless fair call. Wish him luck for the future though, hopefully he can get picked up elsewhere.

Yep... he was a nice guy (well, on the rare occasions I got a word)... have a nice photo from last year with him and my son (who will be disappointed to hear the news). I have two jumpers I have purchased through site auctions, Warnock's Shanghai jumper and Jurrah's St Patricks Day jumper... Nev can't blame me for this one.

Can someone clarify for me: We can re-draft him (or any of our delisted players) in either the national draft or rookie draft, can't we? I'm not saying we should, but just want to understand the "three live picks" in the draft rule.

Three new players in the ND to the Primary List. It includes rookie elevations. We only have to use 9 and 40 as Clisby has been elevated. If we did that it would mean we would get another player in DFA or the PSD.

I would not be upset if we rookie him. Hard trier, dogged by injury and never got his confidence up in an inept team. Will do better in a more polished and focused outfit.

When does the time cut off to pick up delisted free agents?

Had to happen, never saw him show anything that would make me believe he would make it at the AFL level.

Tend to agree.

Sounds like he was a nice bloke but if you could not get a regular game in the worst side in the comp

Then you are probably not up to it.

That was a good trip to WA when we took both him and his mate.

My god we have been wonderful in the recruitment department.

I had a long chat to him 2 years ago at a family day at Casey. I had a soft spot for him after this and loved his physicality for a small bloke. Injuries cruelled him and we never got to see a fit and firing Nev. I hope he gets another go somewhere but I doubt it.

Approximately 24 hours ago.

No. The 2nd DFA commences tomorrow and closes Monday. The 3rd DFA opens again Friday week and closes the following Monday.

The delisted free agent period opens 3 different times.

It will be open again once more after the draft, November 22nd - 25th.

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
