  • 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.

Hear ye, hear ye! Jeremy Howe has been formally allocated a Demonland 'golden ticket' for the upcoming 2015 AFL season. It is hereby decreed that any valuable on-field performance IS NOT expected, and at the conclusion of the season his paltry contribution wil be ENTIRELY EXCUSED. Despite the fact that he is expected to be fit and available for selection for round 1, his position in the 22 will be largely symbolic, as sports science 'experts' have deemed it impossible for Howe to perform given his 'conditioning' has been 'interrupted'. With two months of pre-season training remaining, it is expected that several other key players will join Howe in golden ticket certification, and as such, their extremely low quality contribution to season 2015 will also be held to no account in any post-season reviews.

:D

It isn't the interruption that is the problem, it is the possibility of getting re-injured due to Howe's playing style.

So an injury like this isn't going to really affect Howe's performance in 2015, but it will increase his chance of re-injury, which will affect his games played.

If he did re-injure, then I'd be worried. But as it stands, this isn't an issue.

well if he plays most games and has a sub-par year, watch how it often it will be trotted out as an excuse

Possibly, but some around here would think that having both legs amputated wouldn't be an acceptable excuse.

Where does one get one of these golden tickets?

I could handle one as a supporter of the MFC.

I would dearly love to have a year off worrying about my football teams inability to win more than 2 - 4 games a year.

I love this topic of debate, although he will miss 3 weeks he will be back on running duties shortly and even probably play pre season matches and will not really miss enough time to have the detrimental effects of missing major sessions of pre season can have on a player.

Whilst this post has a fair amount of taking the urine, I am yet to see someone post a logical reason as to why someone who has their pre season limited is more likely to play a consistent 22 games than someone who hasn't. Clearly a full pre season is the best thing for a player looking to play 22 games at an AFL standard and puts them in the best position to make the most out of the season.

Nobody is excused as far as i am concerned

This is Roos 2nd year.

Put up or leave. Should have been the attitude 8 years ago.

I got howled down by certain posters long ago, but you cannot cotton wool an AFL Club.

It is a brutal game you accept to play...

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
