  • 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.

Was 'Handsome Magnum PI' more to your taste?

Well no... It was like one of those anachronisms!! EG The extra in Ben Hur wearing a wristwatch. I think you'll have to do some serious workshopping Ethan. Please note . I can supply authentic monk's and nun's habits ( albeit stained) and a large range of exotic paraphernalia . Workshop it - consider a range of advice and let me know. I'm thinking medieval as a rough guide.

This is just a shocking deal. We did well to get 29 for Toump, but the rest of it is rubbish. Once again we trade with Collingwood and get shafted. It's seriously time to sack the recruiting department and bring in a few people with some vague idea of how to go about the job. First point would be NEVER TRADE WITH COLLINGWOOD!

The noise will be deafening when he tries a 35mtr pass into the middle and blows it after taking a screamer.

Then seventeen other Collingwood players just sigh and look at the coach and the final score....

Toumpas contributed very little in the three years he was at The MFC.

Howe gave us a dozen good games and a lot of wonderful marks.

Neither of them were going to make a contribution that would get us into the eight in 2016 let alone the top four.

Kennedy has joined who knows if he will be any better but one thing is for certain.

If we kept using the same players the the results would not change.

Well, Howe almost certainly cost us Prestia at the GCS. What a [censored].

I've been wondering about that 'Adam'.

If we want Prestia next year we will have to give up our 1st rnd pick plus some.

If he wants to come to us why don't we just do that deal now ie next year's 1st rnd pick plus whatever it takes.

We get him now pay for him later, sort of.

I have concluded either he isn't the one we are after or he hasn't decided to come to us.

Otherwise we coould do the deal now.

Huh? He already stated he was going to play out the last year of his contract. What where we going to give GC? Howe and Pick 6 would not have been enough.

Yeah it would. 6 and 20 for Prestia is plenty. But I agree with you, he wasn't coming home this year. He's a loyal kid, he'll give it one more year.

Well. Well. The HS is reporting: "Howe will play for around $350,000 a year on a three-season deal".

That is even less than we were said to have offered him.

Such a come down from the $600+ his manager was touting!

So he will play for the AFL average salary (excluding rookies and draftees).

He has been bedazzled by the pizzazz that Eddie and co talk up.

Can't help but think Howie has made a big mistake going to the pies.

Anyway, he is gone: an average salary for an average player.

The Pies being who he barracked for probably had a say in it

Perhaps I am cynical, but that suggest there may be a side deal ...

well i wouldn't have too much faith in the hun's quoted contract value

i'm sure whoever leaked it to the hun had their agenda

like every other figure that's been quoted by the media over the last couple of months including what we supposedly offered

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
