  • 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.

Surely Gen, the players are not allowed to talk about upcoming trades or offers???

Shooting the sh!te with a few friends has got to be different to discussing this with a journo. We are going to let players talk to the friends aren't we?

And GD has only said that we are going after him - knew that! Mahoney said it - and that we still have the offer out there.

Just told by someone with a paternal relationship to a current player that Dangerfield possibility is still very much alive.

Once the compensation is known for Frawley leaving I suspect that things will be come pretty clear for either possible outcome in terms of Adelaide and Dangerfield. Despite Collingwood's interest, the only club in 2014 in Melbourne that can entertain both the needs of AFC and Dangerfield (for contract) is the MFC.

Still think it's unlikely that we will secure him, but I am glad that it seems that we are at least having a crack, and won't die wondering!

It is alive but can be killed very quickly. From the start I think it is very clear that Adelaide want him to commit beyond next year and he is giving them the Tom Scully, James Frawley, Buddy Franklin and every other player that has left their club line, wait till end of next year, code for I will leave at the end of the year. If Adelaide aren't comfortable that he will commit beyond next year they would be mad not to look to trade him this year especially if the can get picks 2 and 3 in this years draft.

Absolutley not, JONES will walk next year as a FA and he is one of the important leaders/changers in the new culture

Throw co-captaincy at him. I am sure that Jones would love to have him hitting the packs alongside him and l am equally sure that Grimes would realise that his replacement is in the best interests of the team!

Who said anything about picks 2&3, that would be well overs from our perspective! Offer one first round pick (& Spencer for steak knives)!

Roos has made it clear he would not use pick 2 & 3 on Danger. He said it was overs and compared this with the Judd trade. I am sure we have the best offer on the table, but I am also sure it is not 2 & 3.

Well whatever it is, it's better than anyone else can offer and better than Adelaide will get next year if Danger walks.

3, Watts, Strauss, Blease, Terlich, Spencer and Evans?

Sounds good to me.

Lets just hope we don't have him on a front loaded contract like Frawley...

You love this rumor don't you. Jones is a restricted FA, well and truly, by a large margin, no ambiguities to it at all, not like Frawley's contract situation whatsoever. Further, Frawley got bumped by Watts' extension & the picking up of Dawes after he extended, so the club lost site of where he stood for FA, Jones remains in the top 5 paid players at our club next year regardless of getting a Dangerfield or not, I wasn't going to reveal my source for this but I will now just to shut this garbage up, my understanding of Nat's contract comes direct from Chris Connolly's mouth. Take it or leave it, but I'm happy to bet my balls on this one.

Yeah, you already cleared that up for me here:

The post you are now responding to I made several hours before that.

So, the rant wasn't really necessary, but thanks for the info all the same.

Sorry bud, didn't look at when you posted it, my bad. I'm a tad over the top about this cause it's one of the few things I actually have a bit of inside knowledge on.

Btw, for the Fitzpatrick lovers & haters out there, Chris also still thinks he's going to be a star one day.... Dunno if that's a blessing or a curse, much as I know Chris & really like the bloke, his record is a little bit of a mixed bag when it comes to calls like that.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
