  • 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.

Assuming we get and have pick 3

Pick 3, Toumpas and either Trengove ( preferable) or Grimes for Dangerman!

Even though as I have said, Your all on the grass and in a crazed dementive state!

It won't bloodywell happen!!

Pick 2 AND potentially 3 are massive massive overs for anything less than say... an Ablett!

It would be another dream to land Danger man.

I have just finished cruising down the Rhine with 34 Adelaidians.

They are devastated that Danger may be leaving. Although not so bad if he goes to Melb.

They would hate the thought of him turning up at Port or Pies.

I have had a great couple of weeks talking footy with them.

They aren't as mad as a lot of people think.

Or maybe I just happened to get the 34 sane barstards.

Any hoo now that we look like we may get Harry with still a chance of Danger.

I am am in a better mood as I head for France.

Bonjour

you poor basstard!!! feel for you

Adeladians to the Rhine....like Briquettes to Newcastle ^_^

Enjoy a bottle of bubbly for me PD :)

I don't believe 2 and 3 are overs.

Danger is the type of player who could drag this club out of the mire and take the rest of the team with him.

With Lumumba and possibly Malcevski to support him a drastically lift the standard at training and on match day.

A proven match winner who has consistently polled top five in the brownlow year after year.

A high draft pick, could be a a good player or he could be another, Tambling, Sylvia or Morton.

I don't want to risk it again, we don't have a good record with high draft picks.

Roos was "startled" by the result Saturday. "Stunned".

Said Sydney just didn't respond to the pressure.

Key to Hawthorn's success is their impeccable ball movement.

Hawks slow the ball down by keeping possession, allowing them to breathe, forcing Sydney to work harder for no result and exhaust themselves.

Have to tread very fine line between spraying players and being comforting, because it can damage relationships permanently.

Believes Clarkson is the best coach in the game. "You have to remember where they were, what they were like when he got there. They were a really poor team, building team, young team."

On improving: Have to "start at the start", only way to get to their level is being as hard as the Hawks. The one constant in grand final teams, they're hard, tough, they tackle.

Thank god this guy coaches us, he understands each team's strategies flawlessly.

Gerard: Will you trade picks 2 and 3 for Dangerfield?

Roos: (wry smile, took a moment to get his composure, didn't seem to be anticipating such a direct question). "First and foremost, he's a terrific player who is contracted for next year."

Speculation started with Roo saying he was tradeable.

"We haven't spoken to him."

"If Frawley goes, we... everyone expects us to get pick 3".

"We'll talk to Patty.. if he says he wants to leave Adelaide we'll look into it."

Mentioned Robbo asked him about it before the show. Either way, all deflection. Saying they haven't talked is, for my money, another complete lie. There's a script all involved parties are following here. AFC, MFC, Roos, Patty, his manager.

Agreed, also Bomber is a terrible liar. He's off to the Gold Coast. He was clearly uncomfortable answering the question.

Gerard & Robbo's opinions on the trade period:

Waite: Going to North.

Liam Jones: Going to Carlton.

Ryder: Going to Port.

Beams: Offering pick 4 or nothing, Brisbane won't budge, Collingwood being ridiculous.

Frawley: Collingwood (???? according to Gerard)

Frawley: Robbo says Hawthorn.

Clark: Geelong.

Dangerfield: Staying in Adelaide "simple as that" says Robbo.

McKenna done within 48 hours.

Mark Thompson, "think he'll be at Essendon" says Robbo, Gerard says "might want to re-think that". Robbo: "If the AFL went to Mark Thompson with $1.7 million and said, Mark, we need you to coach this team... he would do it." Done deal I reckon.

Agreed. He also kept asking idiotic questions about the grand final to Roos and Bomber when clearly the more interesting conversation involved Bomber's future and Roos' trade intentions. All we got was a rushed question about Danger that was deflected in typical Roos fashion. Compare that to his answer when asked about R'OK, where he outright said it was probably a year too late.

Signed up seven kid members to the club yesterday.

Three of whom were new-born sons of mates of mine - fathers all support the Crows.

Get Danger and we've got these boys for life.

That said, it'll be bloody hard to dislodge Danger from Adelaide. But everyone knows that.

As an aside, and I've posted it before, but my son is the youngest ever member of this club. In its entire history. Signed him up as soon as I found out his sex and could give him a name - he was 20 week fetus at the time.

His favourite player is Bernie Vince. Well, I reckon it is - he can't talk yet.

If we get Dangerfield, I'll get my first ever membership (100%) as well. Our membership will basically explode if we land Danger.

    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

    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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
