  • 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.

How many posts will it be before someone says Carlton will probably get rid of him and we should have a look at getting him on our list? It's bound to happen... where is Mike Nolan when we need him?

Surely we can do better than any sort of McKenzie. I think Robinson is a spud as well as a flog. I'm not the nuke my membership type, but I would be greatly surprised if we were even remotely intere

Ah, Me Either!! If anyone can turn him around St. Paul can!

I have no problem in "St Paul" trying to get the best footballing talent out of a player - I have a problem with bringing in players that are problematic like Robinson.

Roos extracted talent out of players like Ted Richards for example - he wasn't a cultural problem. The only risky player I can think of that Roos took on was Barry Hall ?

We had many here that wanted to try and get Fevola to our club - I just don't get it. We have enough problems with finding talented footballers that we have to go and find players with attitude problems also ?

Firrstly, he fails the NDH rules.

Whats more how could any of us barrack for a player who snidingly tagged us as 'bruise free'. It was the snideness that was as annoying as the comment.

The same way numerous Demonlanders have forgotten how much they used to slate Paul Roos in 2012 & 13 when he was commenting on Melbournes list and footy skills.

A lot on here seem to have amnesia about their previous thoughts/comments in regard to Roos. I will barrack for anyone who wears the red & blue, leaves nothing on the field and plays like they give a damn

I don't mind young immature players who make mistakes. But Robinson is passed that. It's the second time he's brawled in public (that we know of) and he's lied about it. What's going to stop him spreading that culture?

And he's crap anyway. He's not getting a game in top 4 side. He'd offer us minimum initial improvement and after that we'd be stuck with him.

Never a truer word spoken Goffy

There is a difference between a wayward talent and just plain wayward. As an experienced player, in Mitch we would be importing the same unprofessional, leadership free drongo we have been trying to eradicate from the club

We have to stop recruiting other clubs Leftovers.

The guy lives in the Reject shop.

Cross was a leftover.

We just need to be smart in the recruiting.

It now comes out that not only did he get into a punch up - he lied to the club and told them injury occurred in a sparring contest.. yeah..right.....

The NDH policy does not apply to Robinson as he is so much more than just a DH - I think we might need to install a NFW policy to capture the likes of Robinson.

Had you said we don't need to recruit other clubs idiots or NQR's then you don't get an argument from me.

And after hearing the "True" story leaving Garlett to fend for himself that not only spells the end of his time at Carlton but possibly career.

I retract my comments, I do not want a bloke that leaves his teammate already in trouble and lying further putting them both in the lurch!

Sorry now extreme pass!

Assumed that's what this thread was going to be and came in for the carnage.

    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,
