  • 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

If we have any brains at all we should offer:

Fyfe: 7 years at a million a year

Danger: 7 years at 1.2 million a year

Tex: 5 years at 1 million a year

We have to go totally loco on this free agency business.

Uber Alex Georgiou ‏@UberAGeorgiou 11m Roosy said every player was on the trade table so I asked him what I was worth. His answer was: "Who the hell r u & get out of my office!"

Ben Kennedy is too short. If he went to St Kilda they'd set him alight.

I'd previously mentioned Ryan O'Keefe as a potential target, however I'm now starting to cool on him.

My targets would be Matt Rosa as a free agent and trades for Lachlan Plowman and Daniel Gorringe.

What is everyone's obsession with Plowman?

From what i've watched i'd rather Tomlinson, Patton or Smith

I'd certainly be in the ear of Nat Fyfe and Tex Walker, we have the cap space to get them interested, Tex i'm sure wouldn't mind playing with Clis and Bernie.

I know this will probably upset a few, but what does everyone think about Sylvia? you can't tell me he won't get delisted and Collingwood already have too many [censored], either go to us, Richmond or Carlton

I was serious he'd be good depth, and considering how hard Roos was trying to keep him at the dees, i wouldn't put it behind him, and besides wouldn't be the first time a player went back to his old club.

it would have been interesting to see what might have happened if he was 'Roosed' *

I'm sure Fremantle would be thrilled to let him out of a well payed three year contract just one year in.

You sure about that?

In my eyes it was merely campaigning for fair FA compensation.

Roos had no interest in keeping Sylvia.

He's BIG, tough, could play as a big midfielder like Mundy, very talented but hasn't shown his true worth yet, and would be attainable.

Basically tracking similar to Dom Tyson last year, except Plowman has been played as a defender.

Patton very unlikely GWS would make available.

Smith not what we need and they'd want to either keep him or get beyond his worth.

Tomlinson would be in the same target category as Plowman.

I like the look of Tomlinson 'Machsy' but so far I've seen nothing in Plowman that would put him in the class of Tyson going just on their GWS games.

different players.

IMO re the tall forward, I think we do not want a one dimension tall forward.

I want a big fella who plays tall full forward (195cm+), CHF just as well, & into the ruck with genuine effectiveness. I'd like our tall forwards to be able to change forward roles with one another.

can Patton play the ruck? essentially its the Clark role.

we need to draft a key defender, & trade for another mature Mid. another tyson type deal.

I was typing as I thought it thru, & then woke up to that very thing. Mitch's exact role. how ironic hey.

The other way around it, is for the follower/tall forward to play For-pocket. So we need Fitzy to keep developing himself. I like it that Fitzy seems to feel more at home around the fatter part of the ground & playing the follower role. As he grows more confident he will start to use his body more, to move players out of position.

He's still a bit young/immature footy wise, just yet.

Maybe, not sounding too good.

But to be blunt, Hardwick is a horrid coach.

Mundy & Tex!! YES YES YES!

Tex would bring back the days of Wild Jakovich antics...

He could compliment Gawny as the new Cult hero at Demonland.

Anyone throwing Rory Sloanes name into the ring can forget it.

Why would he come back when his parents just moved from Upwey to Glenelg?

His attitude is terrible and exactly what the team has been working at to eradicate.

First Sylvia then this.

This thread has gone loco...

He isn't that bad, keep him away from the media and he's alright

Plus he's won two colemans, so miles from Sylvia comparison

    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,
