  • 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.

Dion prestia has not said he will be at the suns next year, or he wants to be part of their future, his manager said at this stage he will see out his contract, quite literally the only comment he could make that leaves the door open and doesn't cause a media circus

True.

The Cam Mcarthy saga just proved that. Contracted till 2017 and set to go home. GWS won't stop that as much as they say they will.

Why bother with FA players just say where they want to go and get it arranged even if they are contracted.

Please tell me he's going to Freo....

Apparently Freo are the 'early' front runners for his services. They need him more than the Eagles do anyway.

Damo said that Freo are, of course, keen on Hogan but at this stage believe it is unlikely he will be interested in coming home in the near future.

From Trade Talk as HS:

Know anyone Melbourne is going after?

  • Jay ClarkThey will sell the farm for Dion Prestia from Gold Coast. Also need another big forward to partner big boy Jesse Hogan.

I know, I know, it means nothing.

I know, I know it's Jay Clark.

Just doing my best to keep our hopes up...

Can't verify this guys source personally but he told me we are treating getting Prestia like getting Roos, just going to chop at it until we get him.

He isn't a Melbourne supporter either. Was told at 7:30am this morning. Thought nothing much of it then the Todd Viney meeting now that tweet I'll try and push for more info when I next see him. (Prob thur or fri)

My feelings on the Prestia situation are that we aren't out of the running until 5pm on the last day of the trade period.

Zac Smith and Prestia?

EDIT. Prestia would immediately become my favourite player. :P Yeah, okay, I'm fickle and star-starved.

I do like this... but Smith is an agile no. 1 ruckman.

While we need ruck depth and he's better than Spencer he doesn't make our starting 22 any better. Unfortunately he's not a forward, if he could kick 1 or 2 a week then he'd replace Dawes no issue.

    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

    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.
