  • 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.

Watching part 2 of Roosy's interview, mentioned he was heading to Hawaii in the 2nd part of trade week. Indicated we should be done by then.

Interesting decision, makes you wonder if some deals are already done.

Clark - Lumumba

Danger - ......

According to the pinned thread (I pasted these few dates below), the second week is also the time free agency ends. From memory, they don't hand out compensation until the free agency deadline. Is this still the case? In which case, we wouldn't know for certain that we had pick 3 coming in.

Clubs can get an indication from HQ as to what their compensation will be before they're handed out. Whilst we cannot consummate any trades until the compensation is officially announced, we can still negotiate trades based what we'll be doled out.

Thanks. I hope by "indication" its a case of "you will definitely receive pick 3".

Really wouldn't want to lose loyal kids like Trengove and Toumpas, but with the market as it is I feel like we would be negligent to not explore ever avenue to acquiring Dangerfield.

He is one of the most marketable players in the league, and he's an awesome player to boot.

One concern is the head injuries though - how prohibitive are they?

What the ?

is this serious, the senior coach takes a holiday in the most important week once the season finishes? surely he can sun himself in early pre-season, when a senior assistant can run training.

All the trade stuff would be pretty much worked out prior, if not they make a phone call. No biggie.

What about a Bernie Vince scenario - last minute meeting and convincing from a coach...

Considering how important this time of year is, I am surprised he would be heading o/s

Hey, he should've just gone 6 weeks ago.

I don't think that was last minute. Roos called his folks prior to the trade period IIRC.

I agree that it isn't ideal but the fact remains that rarely do players go to clubs on a whim in the last few days of trade week. One exception would be Mitch Clark...

The are lined up weeks in advance and prepared and trade week is more about getting the deal done than convincing players to come.

wtf? it is somehow worse than any other player leaving any other club because the teams are from the same state? If anything it is MORE excusable because he doesn't have t relocate. I wish there was an unwritten law that no other Vic clubs could steal our players

Power and Crows hate each other more than any 2 other clubs in the country. They enjoy seeing each others team lose as much as they enjoy their own team winning.

If Tex (who is a crows favorite) went to Port they would burn his house down!!

The way I see it (not sure about GNF's mail on these details) is that our biggest rival in romancing Dangerfield would be St Kilda.

Any team would love him, especially sides of our calibre and having pick 1 and a lot of money freed up makes them a viable option for Dangerfield/Adelaide.

Barring any last minute hitch, Sam Frost will play for MFC according to his manager. The same source had not heard anything regarding the Dangerfield.

With Sanderson now sacked as coach [despite having two years of his contract to run], this may change a few Adelaide players ideas about whether they stay/go including Dangerfield. Let us hope that we can get a deal done!

He may fly possible suitors to Hawaii....

I'm pretty sure Roos has it under control. Or maybe you should phone him to advise him you know better?

We could get James Caan to play Roos and have him make ridiculous monetary offers to seduce people.

I can see it now,,

Sauce Dazzler?

That sounds positive if true.

Source not B Vince?

I preferred the story that you were under the family couch at the time Dazzle. Would have loved to see his father's reaction when he heard an unaccounted for "YESSSSS!!!" coming from under the furniture upon hearing Roos speak.

Thats hilarious

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
