  • 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.

Nice try, but I'd prefer that if he does actually know something to just keep it to himself.

We could probably do without the riddles too.

I agree. If he actually knows something and can't say anything then why post anything at all. To follow it up with half a dozen mind-numbing riddles is bewildering and then to not drop the act in the wake of the Trengove situation is just pathetic.

Trengrove for pick 12 is us getting majorly ripped off, if we dont use it as apart of a deal for an elite player.

just get up ?

There is no satisfying some people. This site gets alot of traffic at this time of year to hear news, rumours and innuendo of what is happening. They get the news, don't like it and turn feral as a result.

GNF will reveal what he knows as he said. Until then relax. If GNF disappears next year, you will complain that no news is coming thru. Many of us are thankful for the rumours. If you don't like it. Then shut up. Your ruining or running ppl like GNF off this site.

Welcome to two hours ago, TSFKA. You're in for a really hairy time over the next couple of hours...

Listen before talking, read before writing.

Can't believe your post. An event happened, scuttling a trade for JT and pick 12, which could have been central to deals for players and you slag off at GNF. If I was him and got this crap, I wouldn't bother.

No, my opinion is based on a whole range of posts from GNF in the past.

If I was him, I wouldn't post either. Join the dots Redleg.

It does this forum or the people in it any good to post riddles.

Obviously only if it's part of some grand plan to get a player like Dangerfield.

No one wants to trade Watts just to upgrade pick 23 to 12.

Well... Almost no one...

Really? How's his strike rate going? Called Paul Roos earlier than most...and...

Sorry but if none of what he has alluded to happens, his "reliable source" tag goes up in smoke. GNF could be anyone, including some kid having a lend and a laugh.

But at least we got some riddles.

A dude making up bs and taking the [censored] with a bunch of vague riddles is not good for anyone.

The most obvious answer is the right one: We knew exactly what was going on with Trengoves foot, we tried to get something for him while he still had value, he failed his medical, we get nothing. There was never a big trade, there was never a team willing to give up an a grader for a couple of picks, let alone two teams. I mean seriously, the guy claimed we would be getting two A-graders who would be the best players in our squad and we would hold onto pick 2. How on earth could that have possibly happened?

Given this has now turned in to a GNF discussion thread, I thought I might weigh in.

If you don't want to believe what is said on here, then don't. I don't, but it still makes me think about possible scenarios. Where is the harm in the posts being made? Seriously, I don't know why people are so up in arms about it.

Good on ya GNF, think these riddles have been fun. Got a bit much for me for a bit there, so I switched off for a bit.

Keep it up!

This is a disaster for all concerned. Clearly it disrupts the grand plan. I am unaware of what MFCs plans, whether that is to cover with another player or change tact. Truely aweful news. All the best to JT, his injury us now very much career threatening.

I will still unriddle at weeks end.

Of course you would come out straight after its been announced.

Riddles my ass.

I too share lots of info when I have it. There's plenty that I wouldn't dream of posting on here due to the sensitivity, but where its harmless - why not?

Whilst I'm not enamoured with GnF's grandstanding delivery and self important air, he has had some good info in the past. Delivered, of course, with a get out of jail card. I'd rather live or die by one sentence.

Whatever, if you think this site is better without inside info then I, and I'm sure many others, are happy to leave the dork inner circle to their dreadful puns and really poor dad jokes.

One more thing - the trading period is, to use a modern term, fluid. Just because things don't pan out doesn't mean they weren't discussed in great detail. If you're some [censored] with 3 mates who's gets the horn for pointing out mail that doesn't come to fruition, leave it out. No one cares.

I apologise that i am working/teaching kids, rather then sitting on here 24/7 keeping up with the trade arguments.

do you teach them to read and comprehend by chance ? just interested

Wasn't there speculation that a another high draft pick was about to leave. Maybe the club did some contingency planning and we can still get Danger/Mitchell/Kennedy/Shiel or whatever. I hope they did. Anyways this news ruined my day :S

    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

    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.

    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
