  • 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.

No. I think he played him forward because we needed him there and he's moved back because we need him there more than forward now.. As crazy as this sounds, I don't think there was a hidden msg and Roos just plays him where the team needs him.

this post shouldn't be on here , makes too much sense !

Frawley is the best hand puncher in the comp.

Everytime he stuffs up he punches his left hand with his right.

God knows he should be the best, he gets enough practice.

PS. My Avatar and handle will change next year, any suggestions.

Maybe Colonel Garland or Captain Grimes. They're very good at punching the ground when they make mistakes, and they also get a lot of practice!

It's probably not worth starting its own thread, but...

Most people now believe Frawley will go, and are fairly comfortable with that arrangement.

But what if he stays...??

Funny was just thinking the same thing this morning. Hmmm :unsure:

Good question.

But honestly one I do not think we will have to worry about.

nor do I but for a strange reason it gave me a shudder.

I do however think we may miss out on band 1 :(

I don't buy this price drop talk, when there are ten clubs all fighting for your signature your price generally goes up.

All we should worry about is who to trade the compo for

I also don't think clubs are silly enough to believe that playing in our side represents his true form or value.

And I'm sure when he isn't fatigued from a Darwin match the previous week, his performances will improve again.

Wait till he goes at the end of the yr and all the journos will jump all over us about not being able to keep our talented players.

Geez I cant wait!!!!

let me see, the Cats need ready-made tall defenders, the Hawks, Freo, the Bummers, the Blues too, the Suns, the Giants, just about everyone.... and on the 9 footyshow yesterday, they mentioned a rumour of an $800,000.00 offer from sleepy hollow?

Someone open the diary please.

My only hope is that there's enough interest in the bloke to give us pick 4 ( or maybe 3 the way we're going.

Happy for him to go; to go wherever and enjoy his footy.

And I want us to win also by way of bettering our list in positions it needs.

Yep win/win

Any person that says this doesn't effect the club or players this year is kidding themselves. Every single interview the Frawley question is asked. It was the same when Tom Scully left, no effect rubbish, it is a massive distraction for the players and club.

So how did it affect Hawthorn last year regarding Franklin? Your opinion can't change from team to team.

I knew we weren't crap, the players are just distracted giving a [censored] about Frawley!

I can understand it impacting the player but I think the teamates wouldn't give it a second thought

If that is true which it could be, you would want to think that Harry Taylor is on $1.6m per year; because he is clearly twice the defender that Frawley is...

That's basically the point made by a few on Sundays Game Day.

The consensus was somewhere around the 500k mark, which was first suggested by Tom Harley.

The whisper I heard was he was/is heading down the freeway. But then I might be confusing it with other 'voices" ^_^

Nothing forgone ( just yet ) more an understanding :rolleyes:

Exactly what you pay for a player you develop yourself, but a player you poach is a different story.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
