    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.

Toumpas is clearly trade bait which is why we haven't signed him. The MFC have stayed out of the media and have been very quiet with their plans for trade week. If we can't find a home for him he will be given a one year deal.

I just want our list to get better, reality is toumpas staying or going makes little to no difference next year.

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.

Because he holds all the cards.

Or is it another case of nobody wants him.

1 years under Neeld.

2 years under Roos

1 year under Stone

1 year under Goodwin

1 year under McCartney

Righto, he'll let us know when he's ready.

Clubs aren't stupid, they look at who he has had at his disposal, and there's some pretty handy names there and nothing....

Hate to reign on your parade dingus, but the Toump hasnt been in our list for 6 years. I blame Gary Lyon for talking up the Toump during the preseason.

Hate to reign on your parade rat, but Al is correct.

2013 was Mark Neeld (ok so less than a year), 2014/2015 makes it 2 under Roos, Stone was a part of the coaching group for 2014, and both Goodwin and McCartney signed on at the end of last year.

I watched the Toump pretty closely during pre season and he was on fire, he's a totally different player when the games start, if a team can get his head right, he'll produce form like in the Saints game consistently and suddenly pick 4 for the kid doesn't look so bad.

Why would he do that? You don't just lose that talent. Clear top 5 pick.

Toumpus isn't a Brendon Goddard, or a Reivoldt.. Shouldnt take 7 years to be afl standard/a decent player..

I'd be happy to let him walk.. He's not fast, he's not skilled under pressure, he doesn't play tall..

He's no good.

I disagree.

I was there when all were raving about his 4 goal preseason game at Gosch's Paddock and I was underwhelmed. And I said as much on a thread that would be floating around. He was still hopeless in contests.

That was back at the start of 2014.. His training standards and intensity went up significantly last summer. Just somehow needs to translate that into games now which we saw glimpse of this year.

Ummm... Brendan Goddard isn't a Brendan Goddard... His first 3-4 years were ordinary, and he was not unlike Watts in terms on intensity and attack at the ball. Still not a fan of his... Shite body language as a player !

Unstable view in my opinion he is not right to play at the required level and it shows immediatley he is asked to perform

I dont agree Toump didnt have worrying signs even in the saints game - although he did relax a lottle and we got to see some if that disposal in the past he'd panic and avoid, the defensive mindset and effort was still missing.

He doesnt need another intense preseason as much as he needs to believe he is an afl player. A change will help.

Personally i am wrapped that the club will continue to show faith in him. I still see him as an important member for our future going forward. I know for a fact Goodwin is a big wrap for the kid and hopefully he will be able to turn him into the player we all hope to be.

I am. It appealed the the blue sky junky in me: that the club thought there was enough to work with to persevere.

Not unhappy with the club cutting its losses either though. He's been disappointing.

Jimmy deserves to be seen out with dignity and our good wishes.

He wore the red and blue with pride and he gave his best every time he wore it.

He hasn't met some people's standards and definitely not his own.

But I hope he goes on to have a fabulous career at Port.

Thanks Jimmy, always enjoyed watching you play.

    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
