  • 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.

I'd love to bump one of threads full of posters desperately wanting the club to use a first round pick on Garlett, but I'll save them the embarrassment.

No embarrassment here mate.

We could have changed a life

Could have .

Anyhoo,people who never make mistakes are not my cuppa.

I'm not big on judging things I know little of.

I was big on getting him over.

Would fit well in our fruit basket.

Well if a top club like hawthorn couldnt get him focused hten what hope has he got. another example of a person with talent who has chosen the wrong path.

I was over him when they showed him play on anzac day this year and during the ceremony and 1 minute silence he was poking faces at a teammate and laughing showing complete disrespect.

That's the beauty of you Machsy.

Wasnt aware of the charges until today. I was one who hoped he could turn things around and that we would consider drafting him but it would appear that he has significant troubles.

It's been bleedingly obvious for a long long time that this kid had serious issues and wasn't up to playing AFL footy.

It's not about someone making a few mistakes, it's more that he's made precious few good decisions.

I think some just don't what's required of players these days to really make it.

Talent is only the beginning.

I'm sure wannabe comedians like RTG & Biff will try to take a moral high ground, but my point is that you've got to make consistently good solid decisions as a club for sustained success, and this was clearly as high a risk proposition as you'll see in AFL recruitment.

Hope the kid gets his life somewhat on track.

I would have thought it is you Machsy, in your relentless pursuit to be right, who is clambering for the high moral ground. I simply stated that I was one who wished we drafted him earlier on and that I hoped he could turn things around. Your holier than thou post is slightly less so when your previous post talks of bumping the 'embarrassing' thoughts of others.

But of course, you'll 'save' us. What a sport. I'll give you this. You are relentless.

In more strife. Just reported on the wireless over here that he's been busted for videoing himself driving at 200kmh on the way to Geraldton - and then posting it online.

Over the 60+ years of my life, I have been, and still am a di ck head. You name the the stupidity and I can top it.

I try not to judge today's young people because I was (am) as silly as them.

However, even if the technology was available. I dont think i would have been such a giant fu ck wit to actually film myself breaking the law and then publishing it for the world to see.

The kids on a mission to hit rock bottom. I hope he finds it before he's dead, but it seems the best case scenario is he'll find it in jail.

Hawthorn made a rare error sticking their neck out for this kid. Hindsight's 20/20 but he didn't last long.

    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

    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.
