  • 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.

So putting the two riddles together, I get:

Black mouse - Paul Roos (black hair, small mammal)

Electric Clock - Jack Watts

Lancelot in feathers or furs to command of his sir or whatever - swan who played under Roos.

So we're trading Watts to Sydney for a player?

I'm quite enjoying this.

Edit: just realised Sydney can't trade in players :(

Someone just posted on another thread that a good source has told him that Trengove is staying put. What does that do to your riddle GNF?

These been a lot of so called good sauce around but no one will give us any of it to taste.

Joey!

...Josh Kennedy. I win ;)

But then again I've been alluding to Sydney, in addition to posting photos of JPK for the last 24 hours. But who am I to spread rumours? I'm just a Demonland poster with no credibility whatsoever...

Why sad dd? The transformation of the list is a long term proposition not a short term fix. I for one am excited that this upcoming crop of draftees are going to have a seriously good mentor in Roos to show them the ropes in their first and second years. All the players crucified on these forums over the past few years are being weeded out, minus a couple. It's nothing but positive steps for mine

I thought sydney could trade their players for draft picks, but could not trade players for other players, if so they maybe looking to get as many early draft picks as this their sole source of new blood this year.

Correct. Can only trade out their players for picks, not other picks

Ok, here you all go:

- "Our likely trade partner comes in black and white but is not a little bird. "

Solution: Swan. A large bird that comes in black or white

- "Tick, tock, the black mouse has run up the electric clock.

Lancelot lurks with feathers or fur to the command of his sir."

Solutions:

- Clock: SCG clock tower

- Mouse: John F Kennedy's wife called him "mouse".

- Lancelot: JFK had a well-documented fascination with Lancelot, and is linked to him throughout various texts i.e. 'Medievalism in North America'

Now Chook in Perth's riddles:

- "Our marsupial is digging into his old pouch"

Solution: Roos - Sydney

- "What's in a pouch"?

Solution: Joey. (Kennedy's nickname)

I win

swans cant trade in players but pick's are a different story. 3 for Mitchel.... then they can get another tall (2m peter?) to replace Goodes after next year.... just saying.

3 for Mitchell too high! Can't get a game, should be second rounder at best

And JFK supposedly liked to use his lance a lot. Which, considering his chronic back condition can either be viewed as a mighty effort or mighty stupid!

    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
