  • 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.

GOODBYE MR. CHIP FRAWLEY

I would happily blame Chip for leaving. He has used the line of "I will wait to see the direction of the club" yet has done nothing himself to help move the team forward, instead spending the year t

AFL will announce we got pick 3 about two minutes after James Hird is sacked on Monday

If Frawley goes, I am gunna guess a mid-round one pick = pick 10. Pick 3 too good; end of round one pick not enough (very close to dogs compo for higgins).

Pick 10 sounds about right.

Pennant, you're a breath of fresh air.

Frawley is just another who doesn't have the capacity to spark genuine growth and change at the club and it really was amazing how many posters not so long ago thought he'd be more valuable to our club if he'd decided to stay rather than what we'd recieve if he left.

The fact he was even in the leadership group again suggests our club is still very much in a transitional phase. Really I see the only reason he was in there was because of his games played experience and the fact that he'd been on our list for many years and was a kpp. Not really based on anything of substance. Rather, he just fell into the 'club' because he's been there so many years.

I say it again. Him leaving will be one of the contributing factors to our clubs change of face in the coming years.

Am glad he's gone. Bring on pick 3.

It's not part of the formula or the rules that we or anyone would get a mid round pick but as we know they are made up on the run so anything is possible.

I do think it will and should be pick 3 though.

From trade-radio:

CONFIRMED: While we wait for the father-son bidding to begin, the Hawks have confirmed they have signed James Frawley.

Frawley, 26, joins as an unrestricted free agent in a major coup for the premiers, who lost star forward Lance Franklin as a restricted free agent at the end of last season.

Cya mate...

I am sad.
Yet again, a senior player has decided after 8 or so seasons that we aren't worth the bother of trying to turn around.
I know we will get compensated handsomely but a bunch of blokes who should have been 1 club players (Beamer, Col, Riv and now Chip) will finish their careers elsewhere like Stan Alves and Greg Wells to get the success they could never get at our club. That being said, this will probably only apply to Riv and Chip as Col is probably not going to get a game in Freo's firsts and Beamer lasted a season and a half at Brisbane.
I don't feel bitterness towards Chip but I feel sad at what our club has become and that we have yet to have our 'Travis Boak' moment

"He is a team-orientated person who has got great character and excellent values."

Only if your team is in a premiership window it seems.

I read that too.

Had a laugh.

Should have read:

'He is substance-less, a self-centered person of bland character and non-existent values who is chasing individual success and glory'.

A senior leader of a football club crossing to a two-time premiership opposition side with the hope to win a flag in a team of players you don't know says a lot about that individual.

As Riewoldt has previously said, it just wouldn't be or feel the same.

All I hope is that we win a flag while this air head is still running around for the hawks.

That'd indeed be the cherry.

I have to wonder if Frawley has really thought this through. He says he wants a flag, but he's gone to a team that looks to be nearing the end of its window. They are still being carried by the 30+ brigade amd while the youth look good, they don't look ro be in the same league. Can they really win another one with this list?

I hope they don't! It would be fantastic if they started declining quite rapidly while chip watches us rise and become top 4 in 2 years!

I think the Hawks can win next year again, Lake Mitchell and Hodge are in the last couple of years of their careers, but I don't see the same drop off in quality that I see at Geelong with the Hawks list. But even still I can't see the Hawks missing finals in the next 4-5 years.

Talk on trade radio that we may not be getting pick 3. Ill spew if we dont.

Is that based on anything other than the numpties commenting on whether we 'deserve it' or not?

Pretty much. But would we be surprised if we get bent over.

The article on the official website says we're expected to get pick 3. They've been buttering up fans for weeks now that we'd get it to prevent any outrage.

People are now fairly used to the idea. PJ and Roos have played it perfectly.

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
