  • 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.

That's why we're letting Richmond look at him first.

Lets be clear.    If Dion chooses us as his preferred destination, he will end up a Dee.   You can never have too many A Graders.  Those who say we have too many players of his ilk are

Watched his presser today.. He is gone. Looked very uncomfortable and very Scully like in the way he trotted out some of the clichés...

Sam McClure (who i find increasingly annoying) said on 3aw the front runners for Prestia are Tigers and Blues, with the dees in the frame. Surely of those clubs the dess would be a better destination for him, particularly given his connections to the club.

I know I will get howled down for this, but I don't rate Prestia as highly as others on here and more to the point, don't see him as one of our major needs.

I think we need more outside pace and I don't think he is that. We also need another key back and a second ruck.

If the Tigers offer to Hurley is correct, I would imagine they would win a bidding war with us, if he leaves the Bombers, as we have a number to satisfy. I can see the Tigers letting a few go to make a fair bit of room in the cap.

I would be looking carefully at the GWS talent pool, as they have plenty not getting a game.

Sam McClure has a massive hard on for both those teams so it's not surprising he suggested them.

Tim Watson said on Talking Footy last night that his mail was Prestia is 100% leaving GC. 

I thought we already agreed on demonland he was leaving? 

FWIW i have a cousin playing for the same team with the same player manager and he has told me Prestia is leaving.

It is just whether he comes to Melbourne.

He gave  no opinion on the likelihood of him choosing the dees?

The way the media works is to get as many people viewing their product as possible.  Carlton and Richmond have more supporters than us so it is better to name them as "frontrunners " while mentioning us as an afterthought. 

He's definitely leaving GC and I would say we are the frontrunner assuming we want him and he's willing to come at the right price.

I think we will try and get Steven May instead. 

Why, or is that just pulling something out of your clacker?

Can't see Prestia going to Richmond or the Blues. Richmond are in for some pain and a rebuild. The Blues aren't going anywhere fast until they dramatically improve their list. I don't care that they've won four games this year. They're being held together by performing B graders and Bolton structures. Prestia will come to Melbourne. Bookmark it.

Well, the lack of a key defender is a glaring hole in our list...so yeah, it's a guess. Pretty reasonable one I think. 

 

Not to mention Brett Anderson (tweeted) said that Michael Hurley and Steven May are our no.1 targets (not sure if he is guessing as well).

Ah ok. I dont listen to commercial TV or radio, so I dont hear that sort of stuff.

 

Would love May. Tough as nails, and not afraid to push people around. Something we lack in our key defenders. A Gorilla Killa.

Surely would cost a lot less than Hurley.

Main concern is that he's not very tall. Only 190 cm. 

 

Nvm...193 cm.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
