  • 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.

the story i've always heard with danger was that it was a choice btw adelaide (incumbent), geelong (home), and hawthorn (best team, who can also pay him more than the others).

the reason why the latter was told to me that they were more than just in the running is that in 2015 alone they have $600k salary cap space, and hodge and mitchell have both taken massive pay cuts to play on for one more year in 2016, freeing up around $1m in cap space, plus lake is out of contract at the end of 2015 and no guarantee to play on - although i'd personally say that given chip's injuries and form, hawks need him to play on.

Could be time to re open this.. Found this on Bigfooty

Found this interesting in Robbo's Tackle column:

2. Patrick Dangerfield: Absolutely think he’s gone, although the Crows remain confident. Still, think it’s the Cats for him, although the Demons talk won’t go away. Anyhow, the guy gives his all and his performance against Richmond was one of his best.

What, to Moggs Creek? If he had any thought of coming to us, he would have done it last year and allowed the Crows to get maximum compensation.

Tongue in cheek. Don't think we'll get Dangerfield, although I bloody hope the Cats don't either.

Just thinking about the Danger to Dees scenario.

Actually wouldn’t be a bad option for him.

He’d get serious money. At least 1.0 – 1.2 million a year. Maybe a 6 – 7 million over 5 year deal.

Cash will be freed up so I would say there would be some serious front loading to assist us keeping Hulk, Viney, Gus etc later on.

Got a great young midfield to teach (Viney, Brayshaw, Patracca, Tyson, Stretch, , Neal-Bullen, Newton?...maybe)

Got some experience in there as well (Jones, Cross, Trengove… if he’s right). He wouldn’t have to play in and under as much as we have grunt but not enough polish. Good for his body as it’s taken a battering.

He’s only 25. Give him 5 years, takes him to 30.

Would have some connections to the Crows (Goodwin, Vince)

Deliver it lace out to the Hulk. Who wouldn't want to do that!?

Can go forward and work with Garlett, Neal-Bullen, JKH as a small forward.

I would say our list is in a better position than Geelong & Adelaide's in the next 5 years as we have done a lot of work with the next generation coming through.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the AFL are massaging the club to help them get Danger over the line. Crowds up, sponsorship etc.

Plus Moggs Creek is only a couple hours away. Set him up nicely to retire @ 30...lucky bugger!

If by some chance this does happen, I'm buying shares in Kleenex as there will be a sudden rise in tissue sales!!!

This is all to cruel. I thought I'd made my peace with this. I'll now be checking for updates every 5minutes. Damn you Robbo!

GNF...Chook.any news...a signed forward dated contract perhaps? Something? :)

if we do get him (slim chance) prepare youirselves for us playing way overs! 7 years, starting at 1.2 - 1.4mill per year.

a club in our position has to pay overs

I'm happy to pay Danger an extra 300k a year that he doesn't need than retain a Bail or M.Jones on 300k a year.

There is some noise around. Absolutely.

But difficult to decipher what is driven by truth, and what is driven by stuff like Slobbo's Likes and Dislikes this morning. But people who I consider reliable sources have their ears pricked.

The other thing I'd say is directed at naysayers: It's easy, after the fact, to grab your erection and say "see I told you it wasn't going to happen!!!1!"

But anyone with half a brain would realise these situations are fluid. If Danger doesn't ultimately come does that mean "pick x was tabled, and he's strongly considering Melbourne's offer" is rubbish? No, it doesn't.

Anyway, I'll check in again if I get anything with legs.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
