  • 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.

He only drinks Scottish Whisky when we have a win?

I'm easy to confuse when people don't punctuate their sentences.

I thought he was saying he drinks something called Me Arbelour. I thought I had stolen a bottle of every drop ever made, but in all my juvenile break and enters, I have never encountered something with that name.

(just joking about the break and enters)

All I know is Arbelour is a whiskey and I think it's Scottish. The rest was a stab in the dark.

Don't get me wrong.. I'd take Danger in a heart beat.. But if the Petracca hype is true.. Then we may have our own Version of Danger! And with the way we have been drafting the last two years, I'd rather us go to the draft again and find another Brayshaw/Salem, and keep building like the Saints have!

If we can find another Bernie Vince in the rough, pick up another jet in the draft and get Petracca and Trengove fit., we'll be a 10+ win team next year!

Petracca may have the "go home" factor like Dangermouse... Whats the closest club to Templestowe?

And improve King, Hunt, White, O Mac, JKH and Harmes.

And get Kent, Frost, Vandenberg and Tyson fit and playing.

And get HL back to his Pies form.

If we play a more attacking open style he will get back to good form.

The Paul Roos game plan is not kind to him and his skill set.

Disagree, he was just plain poor. It was not the game plan that made him fumble, mis kick and mis handball, for the few times in a game he touched the footy.

Is Dangerfield playing in this weeks Prelim?

Is Treloar?

is Bennell?

Of course the answer is no, because it takes more than one good player it takes a team mainly built up of home grown talent and when they start performing and looking the goods, they then attract good players to the club and they stay strong.

I'll back Petracca to be our explosive midfield gun, with great support from Jones, Tyson,Viney Brayshaw and co.

Then of course we have our sold bookends in Hogan and McDonald and a very good ruckman in big Maxy.

If we can pick up a Bastinac and a Melksham for depth and next year snare a Prestia or an O Meara we will be a strong unit.

Reminds me of the young crew we had in the late eighties that got us to a grand final, when Viney, Lyon , Schwarz and co ripped up the G.

I think we are in good hands and exactly where we should be at this stage,similar to the Hawks five or six years ago

If we are lucky enough to snare a Bennell this year then that will fast track us a bit.

It is clear that the good players leaving clubs, want to go to the top teams and who can blame them. They want to play finals. We have to get in the finals or close and show the AFL world we are on the rise. To do that we need to improve what we have, hope for a good injury run, which we haven't had in years and get some more talent in now that can play.

Therefore despite the risks, we need a Bennell now. We should be chasing him hard. Howe appears to be wanted by GC and so the our foot is in the door. A player who can rack up 38 possies and kick 6 goals in a game won't be found in the draft ready to do that. We should back ourselves in to mentor him and get him moving forward with his footy and his life. If we don't another team will.

We have a good batch of youngsters to develop and I would take only a few picks in the draft and go all out for players who could walk into our best 22 now.

Bennell and even Melksham would make our best 22. That would be a good start. Add a couple more and we improve our chances of winning more games.

It is a catch 22 situation, but in the end we will be judged by our our on field performance not our balance sheet.

You have never seen him play a game. What makes you so certain?

As certain as Scully/Trengove or McLean/Sylvia?

It's kinda like Hogan, I just know he will be good.....even Hogan backs him in himself.

But also just hoping I guess, as he was rated higher than Gus Brayshaw and he really looks the goods so I'm pretty confident Petracca

will be a gun.

Also watched him a lot at training and he is a monster big bodied mid with lots of power.

I'll back him in any day.

Adelaide playing hardball and "will accept offers from other Victorian clubs."

Essentially, you can't have Motlop on the table at one point, then convince him to stay, take him off the table and expect Adelaide to be content with pick 13 only.

The arrogance of Geelong is quite amazing. When they offered 800k they must have known Adelaide was going to match it. They can surely afford more. If they can't they have managed their list very poorly considering what they have lost this year. Adelaide matching makes is very hard for him to get to Geelong. The odds are against them now, and in favour of any team that can offer a better deal. Danger won't knock back a trade that Adelaide agrees with. As long as he gets to Victoria. If he knocks it back, he's in the pre-season draft for less money. Cats must be [censored] bricks. My God, there are some Cats fans on Bigfooty that I can't wait to lay in to if he doesn't end up there. All I would say is that it's not 100% he'd end up at Geelong and the response was always, "He's not coming to Melbourne", despite the fact I never mentioned Melbourne.

I used to like Geelong.

Danger will be a Demon next year.

Look at photos of Brendan Mcartney and Dangerfield. Definitely Maccas love child.

The clincher for the deal was that Macca lives in Geelong and Danger is moving into his investment property there and they could car pool.

There is nothing surer!

This. I think the sweetener is that he wont have to wear a Vince tag once a year.

    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,
