  • 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.

Forget the PP.

The bottom four clubs need a salary cap increase x 10% so they have the cash to buy players.

i agree the PP is dead...sort of lives in disguise as favours come FA compo.

I like the idea of bottom four getting 2 picks as above. Maybe together with a top up capping as per pigdog you might have a real chance

Three weeks ago the talk was finals. Now it's priority picks. Both are ridiculous.

Bump

It is likely that we may not win more then 4 games again.

I hope submitting an application is highly considered if this is the case...

Fail

Yet you laud Hogan who we got from our last PP basically.

We need more talent, it was obvious today in the amount of changers and turnovers we were making that our team just doesn't have the talent needed yet.

We got a compensation pick from Scully leaving.

Two completely different situations.

And Scully was from a PP. So without that PP we wouldn't have had the compo for Hogan.

And yes right now I'm happy to take what we can get to ocl our team with talent.

There is less pride in being bottom of the ladder for 10 years then their is in applying for a PP. Hell we applied last 2 years so ruling it now this year would be naive

If PJ doesn't send in the letter applying for one, i'll happily draft it for him, olisik right, this team needs as much talent as it can possibly get. Still far too many NQRs

I don't think anyone is saying we're set for talent. We're just not stupid enough to believe we'll get a PP. Not to mention we'll win more than 5 games...

We are not as bad as our wins make us look.

With Kent, Petracca, Frost, JKH, Salem, Trengrove and Garland back and playing well our team looks a lot better. I am assuming that Petracca is at least the equal of Brayshaw.

With improvement in Toumpas, Dyson ( who is not playing well ATM ) Stretch, ANB, Watts, Viney, Gawn, King, Harmes and White and then further trades and draftees coming in next year, we have the makings of a fair side.

I think the PP is dead and we have to do it by smart decisions and good development of our young players, from now on.

It can be done.

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
