  • 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.

OK, OK, on reflection I got a little carried away on "people getting stuck into me". I really could not care if people did. Anyway, I will blame it on the red wine making me want to unnecessarily big note myself.

My apologies.

Posts like these are a rarity on here. Kudos GNF. Keep up the good work with your insider reports.

Well, let's hope his Hogan mail is the 1 out of 10 he gets wrong ;-)

For the record:

The concerns are that Hogan will not play this year but his injury is NOT career threatening. As for the "he is likely to return to WA", this is just me reading between the lines. I have no insight on this and thought I made this clear.

Only the true seer denies their insight and vision. He is a seer, he is a seer! Hogan is gone!

Kind of and kind of not. You said

"MFCs main concern is keeping Hogan beyond the end of next season. Footy department doing everything they can, however, my reading of it is that footy department think he is more likely to leave than stay. My view is our only hope is if this group can quickly improve on-field....... make the future look exciting."

So you had put it out there that the MFC was concerned about keeping him beyond 2015... maybe just a matter of semantics, but that does read like the MFC is worried and hence your own opinion coming on the back of that.

Anyway, doesn't matter... we will find out all in good time.

My thoughts are very similar to yours but after all the turbulence Scully caused here I'll stay out of this for at least this season. We are progressing well without a player yet to play a game. If he goes we are in a position to get a good deal. Back to the topic, Roos extension of tenure is still too far away a prospect to get prematurely over heated with but I'm salivating at the thought where we might be the end of this season and next season under his leadership with or without certain high profile doubtful's. Have not been so optimistic with our prospects for over a decade. Edited by america de cali

I'd hope it was 4 or 6 years redleg, I couldn't go through another 5 year rebuild.

He has said he wants to stick around after he hands over the reigns.. This is great news!! He'll still be around the club and the players, making sure they are still traveling well.... This is better than him just handing over the coaching role and then leaving... For me it means he can still mentor the players, give match day speeches and make sure they are still up and about... Who knows it might be even better? Means he has more time to get into the players heads, and really push them to achieve....

I don't reckon he'll stop coaching the team until he claims THE prize.

Strikes me as the kind of person who hates leaving things unfinished......

That would be good on two fronts;

1. We keep Roos for longer

2. We win "THE PRIZE"

I'm happy with that.

Not bad they have him playing on ball. Its 1st qtr so far and Sandy are getting done. Roosy pretty frustrated in skills errors so you could imagine him in the coaches box lol.

Tammi gets right into the footy she loves it! Yelling at umpires etc lol

    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.

    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
