    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.

Look it's been a long year....suggest you find a darkened room....have a good lie down.......one more game to go....I am going to Etihad in the hope they give a yelp....let Roos work his magic in the pre season

And none of that actually acknowledges that we are SHlT now does it Saty ?? hmm :huh:

They've absolutely smashed teams that in turn smashed Casey even with a decent gaggle of Demons present.

My point was...we may/could /should win..But it wouldn't be a forgone conclusion. ( especially if its at their place )

And here i was thinking that we might go about things differently come years end, given the crap that has happened this year. But we refuse to learn from our mistakes.

Riley i can understand why we re-signed him, Bail is very lucky as he has had 6 years to show something and it hasn't been much. As for Terlich, Roos comes out lambasting our skills and we proceed to re-sign Terlich????

I just don't get it. Will we ever learn?

...

I guess you can only judge list management as a whole process after all the drafts. Which is the other strange thing about these signings in that they've happened so early in the process.

Agreed. While I thought it is unusually early in the process I don't really know if it is; maybe someone can enlighten us? Unusual?

But assuming it is early, I thought that indicated it must be part of Roos' overall plan about the whole process - he certainly knows more than any of us, thankfully.

Who is not might be easier to answer olisk

I think that people believe there is perception that we go in with tradeables and not tradeables

I am sure there is two lists - one being a list of names we will throw out there to see if there are any bites. Tapscott and steak knives.

Then other clubs comes to us and say how about such and such....that's the "I'm listening - what are you offering in exchange" list - and I reckon basically everyone is on that list.

Has it occurred to those who are bagging the resigning of these 3 players, that the current coaching staff might just know a bit more of how to build a list than they would. For those idiots suggesting that port Melbourne would defeat the demons you have got sh*t for brains.

Im a little bit bias with Terls because I played TAC Cup footy with him but he has frustrated me with his skill level. Its does show that the step up from Jnrs to AFL is a totally different set up because he definitely was one of our top 5 best kicks at the time back in the day. He has also shown he has improved and how much he has had to work hard for.

Lets remember he has only played 35 games so still a little bit inexperience. Wait till he hits the 80 game mark and starts to gain confidence and mature a bit more.

Terlich if he can sort out his disposal on an afl level base will be a fine player.

If Terlich gets to 80 games before he improves that means we'll be rubbish for the next 3 years at least!

Personally I reckon his kicking is fine when given a bit of confidence as at the start of last year it was fine but as the season went on and he lost confidence it was worse. This year it was more his decision making, trying to play the safe style of Roos footy didn't suit him. Switch him to Port Adelaide and yeah he'd make a few errors every now and then but he'd also run and attack the game. Can't help but think he's a better player than Jasper Pittard.

Maybe another preseason will be 1 step back and then 2 steps forward. He's courageous, a good tackler and has a crack. I'm much more worried about his defensive ability than his kicking. If he could shut opponents down I could live with the odd turnover.

Can someone please just ban this fool? All he ever posts is "you all have sh*t for brains".

He's not even a poor man's Saty. That's an insult to Saty.

Not surprised at all.

Terlich is a bigger body and now has some afl experience. His signing tells me that Clisby will be delisted.

Bail - yes his kicking has been terrible at times and you could argue not getting the ball at all like Tappie or others might do less damage than turnovers that result in goals but he runs all day, is as fit as they cone, spreads, keeps to his opponent but above all else he PLAYS HIS ROLE.

Riley had no preseason and still looks alright. Give him a chance.

As to the comments 'you cant turn over more than seven players' the answer is my word you can when you are as bad as we are.

neeld marched 12 in his first season - you can take on free agents you can trade for low draft picks, etc.

    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,
