  • 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.

In my defence, I found it hilarious. But who doesn't love their own material.

I'm sorry I've upset you. Point is, we all shouldn't get too sucked in by what players say publicly and try to over analyse it.

Who says if he comes to us that we aren't up there in 4 odd years time? A bloke named Paul Roos is a good operator. Who thought Angus Monfries would be playing in a prelim this year.

Don't worry. Deep down BBO is a loving bloke. This is his way of showing affection to you.

No I didn't misunderstand your cheap shot at my post at all. I posted on the basis of an interview I actually heard on the radio. Your unfunny and invented reductio ad adsurdum piece of sarcasm drew a question from me that you are unable to answer. In future, if you cant put up then shut up.

Have had far too many wines to really take that in. Will be off the library in the morning! After my cheese and tomato on toast of course!

The positive whispers were from my wife about the breakfast I cooked... LOL.

I was told we are going hard is all. But considering PJ went hard enough to get Roos I think that sounds positive. But danger is only one of many.

Anyone else mentioned Dylan Shiel?

i must admit this trade period Im hearing far less than i was this time last year. Roos has obviously commanded a very tight ship.

Yes, NSC I did mention that this morning. We are going hard at both he and Danger. Even if one comes off it would be positive

Personally now that danger is in doubt I think id be more satisfied with Shiel or Treloar in terms of age bracket.

a) Why do they want to leave?

b) What do we give them? Is pick 2 and 3 too much? It will have to be a better deal than the one landed us Tyson because they are proven quality players.

I went to a post grand final function late last night and I ran into a friend who's gone into player management. I don't know if he specifically works with Dangers management group, but he gave me 100% guarantee he wasn't coming to us. We made contact, he spoke to us but we weren't the right fit for him. Take it as you will. I hope for Melbournes sake GNF is on the money, but I've had a few good bits from this bloke in the past.

This absolutely stacks up to me.

It is also not inconsistent with what GNF has stated to date.

I think we will miss out on Danger but i'm confident the club will come through with the goods again just like last year, hopefully even better this time.

I am now convinced that he is not joining our team next year, people that say they are happy with this are full of it. Would have been even better than getting Roos but as usual we get it shafted.

Not getting a player who was never really coming to us other than in our own heads is not getting shafted. We're not worse off than we were before, it just seems that way as the prospect seemed so exciting.

Don't get me wrong, I was hopeful and I'm a little bit disappointed too, but you've just got to be really careful getting your hopes up really high on so-so information. I think that's what a few people have done.

Getting Roos is the best thing that's happened to this club during my lifetime.

Would be massive to land Dangerfield, but sorry - it's not even on the same page as getting Paul Roos to this club.

Maybe Roos equal with Jimmy coming on board as an administrator. Without Jimmy I'm not sure there would be a Club for Roos to coach

    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.

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
