  • 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.

How reliable is Rob Waters?

For the right price I'd be happy to have him. Had a ripper game tonight, although it was only against the Lions. 25 goals and 25 goal assists in a season is nothing our club could ignore.

Easier to do it with Adelaide's midfield and the run off the backline from guys like Smith....he would not have those numbers being a forward at the Dees this year...don't overrate this guy.

If it was the one from Gold Coast I'd be thrilled. The one from Adelaide, not so much. I was devastated when we missed Lynch by one pick and took the Spud Cook instead.

he's (gcfc) contracted til the end of 2016... has had some injury concerns over the last couple of years.

the Lynch from the crows is up for contract now, is 6'-3" & also plays inside mid & forward.

Roos hasn't put a foot wrong so far with recruitment. Lumumba the only question mark so far but he'll improve as the team does.

Lumumba is 28... & was needing a home, & we needed running players who can run from defence & counterattack, like yesterday... he's good when the teams OK

Lumumba was good enough to join us to help us back on track, for his remaining AFL time... he isn't our weakness.

its the transition from him, over the next couple of years, that we need to find now, to grow them.

Newton, Riley, Michie....

Not sure we can call them raging successes.

All 3 DFAs who cost us nothing to get, but provided mature bodies to protect the kids when needed.

Those that haven't been deemed unable to cut it can be delisted at the end of this season for no opportunity cost.

Pretty good result.

Adelaide's Tom Lynch looks unfashionable but is a damn good player who is smart, works hard and makes things happen. He would vie for Garlett for our second most goals and unless things have changed leads or close to leads the league in direct goal assists. Being one of our biggest issues is our quality of delivery forward of centre and our link through half forward I am not surprised of our interest. 4 years I would think is too much but whilst we have improved we are still a cellar dweller and will need to pay overs to convince quality players to come.

I wouldn't even consider trading Toumpas and our 3rd rounder for Lynch and their second rounder. Let alone throwing our second rounder in WITH Toumpas, that is crazy.

Lynch isn't that good. Toumpas has more upside. He will take time to develop mentally, but when he does, he will be an important player.

Toumpas is a dud

I knew that the moment I saw him interviewed on draft day. He's a mummies boy, How the fark we missed on Wines is unknown.

We are not a destination of choice, so we need to offer massive overs to entice players (Clark, Dawes).

Rob Waters just said on SEN now he is now seriously considering our 4 year deal. Wants his future secured due to having a young family and being back in Melbourne with family is another factor plus the friendship with Jack Watts.

I think that Rob Waters is clutching at straws with the Jack Watts friendship factor. Lynch was originally drafted by the Saints and went to Adelaide.

Lynch is Dangerfield's closest mate at Adelaide, and I doubt that the lure to come to Melbourne would be so that he could be close to Dangerfield, when he goes to Geelong.

@RobWaters10 saying Tom Lynch is considering a 4 year offer from the Demons #AFLCrowsLions
2:53 AM - 22 Aug 2015

I have actually been watching him pretty close all season since I had him in my dreamteam and would be a great pickup. He gets around the ground from drifting across in front of a pack to intercept a mark in the back line to kicking goals, can also pinch hit in the ruck which is a bonus.

    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,

    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
