  • 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.

Amazing amount of bile here for someone who wanted to take a moral stance about material that was clearly anti-gay. Just because you complain about such discrimination doesn't make you a 'nutter', 'sc

I don't have an issue if we hand over our second rounder (pick 22ish) for LaBamba.

The bloke has played 200 games, All Australian, premiership player, consistent top 5 in the best and fairest.

We traded a pick in the mid 20's for Vince and you could argue that the Prince's career has been of the equal to Vince, if not better.

Pick 23ish for him...

Clark compo or nothing.

Pick 23 is too much for Lumumba, Collingwood want it.

I think we are waiting on a Clark trade.

Lumumba is 28 next month, clearly has issues, and is an athlete before footballer - unlike Vince, who will play into his 30's.

We won't give up 23, Roos isn't silly.

I don't like the "he has issues" comments people are making about HL. Difference of opinion or communication style doesn't equal "issues".

In any event, I do agree that pick 23 is too much but a pick in the 30s is about right.

Didn't he take some time off to deal with some issues?

He has issues, it is well documented. Has there been a season gone by where Lumumba hasn't put the attention on himself?

I cannot recall one. Certainly Collingwood are fed up, they are moving him on anyway, so they have no bargaining power, they do not want this guy at their club regardless.

Clark compo would be about right, like for like.

Who wouldn't have issues playing for the Filth?

Would be nice if we could trade 2 or 3 in a Tyson-like trade and use 23 on Hugh Goddard if he could be so good as to slip that far.

Correct Id really like to hang onto pick 23 as there will be a nice players that slides down to that pick.

Pick 23 is clear overs for Prince. He is gifted, but he ain't worth that.

Geelong's pick 33 I'll be reasonably okay with.

If we are talking about trading what we receive from Geelong, why not deal directly with Collingwood who would also like Mitch in their forward line? Mitch is still contracted on our list until after the trade period (31 October) so to a large extent we hold the cards in relation to HL, Mitch, the Cats and the Pies! Without satisfying us no deal gets done and Mitch and HL could each each find themselves in the PSD where we also hold all the cards!

Confused. Deals done isn't it? Geelong pick 2 straight to Collingwood.

He's nominated Geelong and discussions are now with Geelong. Shafting them at this point wouldn't bode well for any future dealings.

If we can get the three way deal that suits all parties, Collingwood to a lesser extent, then I think that's the ideal outcome.

The downside is Clark will likely avoid facing a Melbourne home crowd next season. He gets to weasel out. Again.

But I want more than pick 33 for Clark.

Agree with this. I believe we could get 33 and another pick from Cats for MC with the second one going for Frost.

That way we get HL and Frost for MC. It is not impossible as Cats are saying he could be a star for them. They have missed on Chip and we can force MC into the draft.

    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

    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
