  • 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.

I don't understand this mentality - the club would not be so stupid as to offer this kind of contract to danger without having enough to keep hogan when his contract comes up. We have the $$ to have both.

I reckon also, Danger's will be very heavily front ended, & sliding to allow for Jesse's contract to grow, & then others as well in future... take the money up front Danger buy your property while you can..... then you can settle into rhythm enjoying your football with a rising phoenix.

A big offer to Danger, if the Dees know he is already committed to Geelong, could be camouflage for another target.

could be TT, or it could be a red hot go for Danger,,, & if it falls flat its advertising for other contracted elite players who maybe wish they weren't contracted. licking lips...

lets see watt pans out in all this?

I'm a bit disappointed everyone has failed to piece the jigsaw together. It's clear that Franklin is out of Sydney and a big chance of ending up at the Dees. We got into Dangerfield's ear with the news. He deliberately didn't name a team of preference because he has assured Melbourne that if Buddy signs so will he.

While I understand your man crush on Hogan (have one myself), I watched him at training and went out to Casey just to see him play that first year and also think he could be the forward of his generation.

Personally, I think Schwartz before he did his knees was a better talent.

A great talent. I remember him starring at Victoria Park in defence.

Schwarz was more spectacular, while I prefer Hogan's attack in contests.

We'll agree to differ.

In other news, Alastair Clarkson is replacing Paul Roos as senior coach of the Dees next year.

Hogan v Schwarz, finally some arguments that aren't about how [censored] we are.

Roos on AFL360 said that we did not offer 10mil for Paddy.

Was told a long time ago it was cats or crows.

I don't think he'll end up at Melbourne.

But Roos is just keeping his cards close to his chest. The club is under no obligation to tell the truth re. what it's offered. It can lie about it as much as it wants. There's no rule against that. You can't be 100% sure until a deal is 100% done. Until then every other Victorian team is a chance, albeit a small one.

I only heard the sound grab but did Buckley then get stuck into Robbo for asking such a specific question?

Link?

Robbo asked Roos

  • "Have you offered Dangerfield $X amount over X years?"
  • Roos replied with "I haven't no"
  • Buckley laughed and said "Ask a broader question" as in you asked if ROOS has offered in which he said he personally hasn't so Buckley was getting Robbo to ask a broader question as in "Has Melbourne offered him a contract"

Bucks moreso made a joke about Robbo asking such a specific question because it allowed Roos to explicitly say no. Afterwards Bucks asked him (Robbo) to ask a more general question regarding melbournes offer to Danger to see if Roos could still answer in the same way. Seemed to be in jest and just having a laugh at how easy Robbo made it for Roos to say no

---- dang it beat me too it!

Robbo is a pathetic excuse for a journalist.

I thought his reputation on her was ill-deserved until I watched him interview Hogan.

Yes he did, it made it easy for Roos to dance around the question. Whether it is true or not, technically I believe you aren't allowed to make offers yet.

Some peanut on facebook claiming we will trade Toumpas to cats for Josh Walker, who will then trade Toump to Adelaide for Dangerfield.

Lol. Is it necessary to mention that? There are enough ridiculous trades suggested on Demonland to last a lifetime.

And this is example 101 of why you should never even bother reading Facebook rumour pages. It still annoys me that people even bother posting them here.

    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. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
