  • 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.

Don't bet on it DD I'm betting this was a big part of why we have tried to 're sign him so early, get an idea of where he is at incase a tough decision has to be made

Ok, lets entertain this crap about jones for a second then.

He's contracted for another 12 months & restricted next year. Even if he tells the club he's eager to walk next year to the pies, they either have to satisfy us with a trade this year (currently looking like pick 5 for beams, their own 1st Rnd pick & Lumumba as real trade-able assets) or chances are we get band 1 compo next year which if we don't significantly improve in 2015 is likely to be another top 3 pick. Thus whatever we got for him this year would have to be pretty bloody good!

Either way we hold the cards, not jones nor collingwood.

So early? Gun players routinely get extensions with a year or more to go on their contracts, that's why there's soo much media hype about anyone playing their last contracted year without an extension. There is nothing early about it.

Meanwhile, players are jumping ship at collingwood left right and centre!!!

People on here were mocking suggestions pendlebury is gettable on other threads just because he's collingwoods captain...... But at demonland we like to panic and jump at shadows on the back of what a physio said.......

You mentioned Jones said that he will sign a extension soon. That article backs up my argument.

No where is it mention he will sign an extension. Just the fact that the club are set to put an offer forward.

It says both parties are negotiating an extension. I think if he'd made up his mind to leave already they wouldn't be wasting their time talking to us much like Frawley's manager refusing further discussions all year.

The first bizarre rumour of the silly season : jeremy howe op for trade

Dont understand why this is bizarre. I have mentioned previously I expect if you are not a pure mid or true key position your name will be floated for the right price. Howe, Garland, Grimes, Watts will all be raised for the right price.

Don't find a Howe trade surprising in the slightest. Has everyone forgotten the spray Roos gave him and Watts? He's less than in love with these two.

He was very good in defense in some games, but very quiet in others. Didn't have an interrupted preseason so no real excuse for a form slump given his fitness.

Losing Maxwell, Beams, McCaffer and Heretier for next year is going to hurt.

Next year could be Swan's last.

Wouldn't go near that joint right now.

This.

Even if the twice removed rumour from a club physio is true, why would Jones go from us to the Pies? It won't be to go home/ for more opportunity.

If it's about money we can (and will) match the $$ the pies throw at him.

If it's about success there are at least 8 teams with better prospects than the pies atm.

Oh please........If coaches traded every player that he gave a spray to, we'll be trading out every player every year

    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,

    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
