Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Spoke to a previous co worker yesterday and she is saying that Collingwood are in talks with Nathan Jones, they know they will not get a decent player in the Beams trade. Her uncle is a physio with the Pies.

Hmm, they may talk with him (his manager) but he will spurn all comers, as did his #2 predecessor and stay to become as loved a club champion as Robbie F was.

Well that's pretty much the end of the MFC if that happens. Not even exaggerating.

If our captain and 3 times B&F winner walks out to Collingwood, we may as well stop trying to keep our list together.

I hope Bulldogs trade for St Kilda's number 1 pick. That would leave us sitting pretty for Pretacca and Brayshaw with 2 & 3. Or we can shift pick 3 in a Tyson-esque deal. Then we can trade for another mature body with pick 22. Or if that doesn't work out, pick Nakia Cockatoo.

LOL do you know Jones personally? Unless he has come out and said that jones will come under extreme pressure from other teams.

You only have to look at his recent tweet straight after the Port and Hawks game that he is seriously desperate to play finals footy.

He is a free agent next year. Of course there will be top 4 clubs lining up for his service's.

Ha!!! What a joke! Bloke has already said he'll re-sign another extension that should see him a demon for life. A physio for collingwood said so hey? He learnt of this giving their footy operations manager a massage perhaps? Was this during the happy ending perhaps? Of course every physio at every club has the real inside info! Lol

Wasn't it collingwood fans who beat his old man up at the footy?

Jones is a RESTRICTED FA next year, we can match any offer & probably have more cap space than most anyone else. This is pure BS, but thnx heaps for sharing.........

Restricted free agent. We can match any offer.

Restricted free agent. We can match any offer.

A question - has any club "matched" a free agency offer ?

From my memory, once a player says he wants out whether restricted or not - they have gone.

We slammed the likes of Frawley for his commitment to the club - do you really want to keep a captain of your club that makes you bid under FA rules to keep him ?

edit - having said that - I think he will sign up again

We were probably saying the same thing about Frawley this time last year.

Then it turned out his contract was front loaded....

I understand the hysteria surrounding the potential of Jones leaving, but the club is bigger than any one individual. If Jones were to sign with Collingwood today, the MFC would still be here tomorrow. I will support blokes who want to play for our club, for my club. I couldn't give a toss about those who don't.

Hey, I'm not the first to look foolish on here, won't be the last. But this article seems to be a stronger indicator than 3rd party info from a physio!http://m.afl.com.au/news/2014-09-11/dees-keen-to-keep-jones

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.

If Roos thinks Jones will leave he will be traded

It also makes Trenners' commitment to us last contract more significant. He wasn't entering free agency, but he could easily have walked and instead he stayed with the club. That's why I continue to support him and hope he'll come good again.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
