Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.


Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

sadly, nic nat is off the menu. $4m over 5 years.

$800k a year. his asa's and third party agreements - both of which he'll make back for the club in spaces due to his marketability, but which means they can't pay to others - will mean it easily tops $1m a season.

I think you misspeled happily.

He is the most overrated dudd next to Matt Kreuzer, gets 5 hitouts and a almost goal of the year and he's the best thing since Wayne Carey.

Hopefully this doesn't get into Chip's ear.

If NN is worth 800k/year, then Chip is worth at least 1.6m/year. And that's being modest.

Not only Chip, what about Gawny check out his stats compared to NicNats, Gawn must be worth $1.5mill per season.

Gawn gets more kicks, more handballs, more hit outs, more goal assists and over 3 times as many contested marks!

So is Gawn that good or is NicNat overrated?

Wow, NicNat and Scully chewing up millions of dollars, this league has far too much money to throw around.

I'd give 'em 300k each if I was feeling generous and I had to choose between them and Damien Gaspar and Aaron Fiora.

I think it's to every other clubs benefit they have paid way overs on his ability. Yes he is good for merchandise sales but Freo are fast cathcing up and a few seasons in a row as WA'S top side will not help Meth Coast

NicNat is worth 800k for the Eagles based on marketing alone

Spud player though

Or if he was in a Melbourne jumper I'm sure you'd say something along the lines of:

'Barely had a pre-season, is clearly injured but is an absolute superstar. And lols at Jack Watts and anyone who'd even dare compare him to NicNat.'

Am I right, am I right?

Yeah, coz Dees fans don't eat their own do they?

And DA was pointing out that h_h has a tendency, no, a penchant for saying something definitively and then walking away from what he just said at the flick of the electro-therapists switch.

Not all of them.. No.

no, not all. but a few of us support some, when necessary; but also want to bite other players on the backside, to get them off it & moving, & doing something. DO

Not sure it has been discussed but what are people's thoughts on Tom Rockliff from Brisbane ? And what do you think it would take to get him to Melbourne ?

I think he is a great player and would add another good solid young midfielder to our list but would not be as costly as other more large profile players.

We had a red hot go at Rockliff last year, and couldn't get any movement with pick 2 on the table. We should have picked him in the PSD after he trained with us, because I don't think we're much chance now.

What about Toump and a first rounder for Rockliff ? Unlikely that they would go for it I guess

It's got nothing to do with stats. Meth coast supporters love him over here. I ask them why and in all honesty they can't answer specifically. It's all because of his look and the money he brings in.

That is the greatest understatement in Demonland history

lol at anyone who says differently

p.s. Watts is a culture killer and all his teammates must hate him. He is also the best set shot in the league and our most important re-signing.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers. Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies.  Forwards out first. Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford.  The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
