  • 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.

Did anyone hear David King's idea about Dangerfield going as a free agent and then the clubs swapping picks and players after? What an idiot, it would make a mockery of the AFL's free agency and trade system.

Plus he also listed Cory Gregson as an A grade player? He is promising but he is hardly A grade. The guy is seriously an idiot.

They wouldn't be able to get away with that. AFL rules prohibit it.

Heard somewhere that if anybody else decides to trump the Cats, danger will only sign a 1 year deal with them and then request a trade.

Someone needs to check his privilege.

Entitled little gifted [censored]!

That's draft tampering and if the AFL had any balls they would knock that on the head right now.

AKA depth player that is still a kid, hoping to enter his second full, uninterrupted preseason.

Pick 50 in a weak draft, plus a spud from a team on the slide. Yep, can see that's an upgrade... :wacko:

i understand the position if say any pick or player is viewed in isolation. To be honest I view the whole period as a holistic event.

We start off with "x" players and "Y" picks we end up with "S" players and "T" picks. Hopefully after the circus has left town we are better for it all.

In that light I dont put the whole weight individually on trades and such...its how it all progresses and what we end up with.

The whole draft is this side of a raffle at best. We have 'weak' drafts producing some players later on and "strong" drafts providing duds up front.

bit like a cr@p game :)

it is really unclear what is tampering and what is allowed. Heard Caro mention on the radio the possibility that Adelaide will not match the Dangerfield offer from Geelong so they get a 1st round pick from the ALF. Then geelong trades Adelaide for another player but gives up their first draft pick and another pick. So Adelaide still get to first rounders for danger. That to me is draft tampering.

The AFL will make up a rule on the fly and stop that.

Effing ridiculous. And Geelong should just say "thanks for not meeting the contract. See ya!"

Wouldn't that be a guffaw?

This wont happen as the 16 other clubs that slip back a player in the draft will burn down AFL house.

That's like the Veale deal, which is now considered draft tampering.

It would be great if we could snare Dangerfield, and then use him for depth, just in case a Terlich or Matty Jones get injured.

    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,
