  • 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.

Is there a link about him possibly in the red and blue?

Im a fan of him but cannot see why a native WA that basically wanted to stay at his state around draft want to come to melbourne. The only thing I can think of is that he is Tysons best mate.

People discussing it in another thread,

Rumours of being unhappy, best mates with Dom Tyson, similar contract situation to other players their

Appreciate the reaction though.

Would gladly give up our first rounder for Coniglio if he wanted to come over to us.

Whilst not as big and bollocking as Brayshaw, he has better skills, is quicker and can also play both inside and outside (Brayshaw is more your contested beast similar to a Wines). Compared to Petracca, Coniglio would be silkier, not as effective up forward, but ahead when it comes to the midifeld (though Petracca seems to be making a good fist of that too).

Coniglio would provide us with greater flexibility from a pure midfield point of view (both inside and outside the contest) and would add another string to our midfield make-up.

We've done some great trades with GWS but I don't believe Coniglio would be another one.

They've got a surplus of forwards that I will happily trade our first rounder for before another midfielder. It surprises me that all of a sudden our midfield depth seems pretty reasonable but our forwards look light on, mainly due to doubt surrounding Jesse and the departure of Mitch.

Let's pry Cameron or Patton from GWS rather than Coniglio.

I can assure you that Roos first priority is another 1-2 good mids, before a key forward. That is from the horse's mouth.

Our midfield still needs one or two class players like Tyson to replace the likes of Cross and vince probably a year or two.

sensitive topic? lol
Id have him if he was keen!

Coniglio? Nah. Go after Tom Mitchell. Throw our first pick at the Swans for Mitchell and possibly Rohan (although he reminds me too much of Blease), snares us another gun mid while the Swans can draft a tall back and get some salary cap relief.

We're those comments made pre or post Mitch's retirement?

Change of scenery, coached by Roos, up and coming team, best mate plays for us, likely improved salary, playing footy in Melbourne, home at the G, WA teams don't have the resources to trade for him...

It's not that hard to think of more reasons why he'd want to come.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
