  • 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.

FAREWELL JIMMY TOUMPAS

Nearly everyone accepts he was rated a top 3 draft pick, let alone pick 4, so it's just one of those things.

I'd get rid of him now while he might have some value.

Keep turning the list over.

I think the kid can play - his problem is he is completely an outside player

If we do trade him I wouldn't be that upset, we need competitors and if he has value I'd say trade away

Jay Clark just reported on triple m that he will sign a new 2 year deal and will be announced this week. Personally i am wrapped that the club will continue to show faith in him. I still see him as a

I genuinely believe this was the smartest and most logical thing for us to do with a player like the Toump. Firstly, we'll be getting rid of 5-6 genuine battlers. Players who literally do not possess

Pleased the club has backed him. I'll admit that a small to medium part of the reason I want him to make it is just to spite all the "supporters" who have pilloried him endlessly.

they were pick 11 and 12 that's obviously not the same as the top 5 is it

pedantic contrarian

Cale Morton, many had him top 3, others not even top 10. TGR was loud before draft on how a team from out West wouldn't have touched him.

So high pick now is only a top 5...

Ed. are you related to Stuie?

Keep him, lock him in the gym till Feb with self motivation audio playing non stop and then we'll have a player.

That ain't gonna do his inability to hit a target by hand or foot any favours...

Morton showed far, far more than Toumpas in his first three years.

We've dangled him as trade bait for two years in a row and got nothing cos he's worth nothing.

A bigger bust than Morton or Gysberts, and only just ahead of Cook and Molan.

Just not sure Toumpas has any real trade value.

I am not sure either, nor is anyone posting here, really.

Only time will tell.

Those that suggest Toumoas has no or little trade value then must ask why ?

Those that say he is potential unrealised must accept another club might think this also.

The MFC is in all likelihood fielding any interest.

I would be too.

And other clubs are looking for value - I would prefer not to give it to them.

Oh TGR said that did he, I'm sorry my mistake, that changes everything, you're right every player we picked was an outright gamble

Might get Moore and a late pick for him from Port or one of the SA clubs could on-trade something to Brisbane or Gold Coast in our bid to get Redden or Bennell?

If we were getting Moore for Toumpas, I'd be keeping Toumpas. The perfect outcome is packaging Toumpas with a pick or another player for Bennell or Prestia or someone like Hartlett.

Hartlett has just been resigned! He isn't going anywhere!

Never claimed every player was an outright gamble, just that your hyperbole is BS

Every player you pick is a gamble it's a lottery, looking at hawthorns greatest team in the last 3 decades in the sun the other day made me want to spew there numbers come up

The Hawks stuffed up a lot of high picks in the 2000's though. It's their later picks that have helped them- Bruest, Smith, Puopolo, Suckling were all mid to late picks.

I think we are on the right track in that area- Stretch, VandenBerg, Harmes, O Mac, Nel-Bullen have all shown promise as late picks.

We just need to make sure we nail our first round picks from here on.

    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
