  • 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.

No detail, just the usual 3aw trying to sound in the know.

They said that future plans had been shared with JH, no specific talk of contract and $s, and that it is believed one of the big fish being targeted is Luke Parker

Man, didnt even think of Luke Parker. Now that would be a coup. He is young and a match winning mid who oozes leadership.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Swans have come to the realisation that their premiership hopes have dissipated quite significantly this year and moving forward don't look too flash.

It would make sense to unload one of their stars to gain early draft picks with an eye to regenerating for another tilt in 4 to 6 years.

Parker is a practical possibility.

Impostor, fraud, hoaxer. And you with the proud name felix da CAT. Recant you charlatan.

Hi my name is Felix and I am Fish....OH MY GOD ? you don't know how much I have longed to be able to stand before you all and speak my truth.

For years I have lived in denial and have been hiding my true self from you all. The constant burden of carrying fresh water with me everywhere the hours of explaining my allergies and my affinity to swimming and water sport in general.

But I must reiterate I am not "The Big Fish" I am only owning up to being "a fish"

Would make no sense for them to trade Parker. Young future captain.

Only reason would be if they have their eye on someone. Like a key back. Coz they can only trade in if they trade out

Parker is only 22 though. He'd be in his prime in 4 to 6 years. I just can't see them giving him up.

I would have thought they'd be more likely to unload an older player like Kennedy if they'd be looking at another tilt in 4 to 6.

I would take 3 Vandenbergs over one J Kennedy.

As far as I am aware there is only ONE vandenBerg in the competition, whereas there are TWO J Kennedys, both of whom I would love at our club.

Ah....the speculation at this time of year is just amazing. Good to have something to entertain / amuse demon fans in September.

It's a fair point you make but if they don't give something significant up now, what will they have in 4 to 6 years, given the changes to the academy draftees?

If anything happens it will involve picks and younger MFC players you would think.

Correct. There is no way they would want him to go.

Where is the Prestia talk coming from again? I thought he has already declined our offer.

It's coming from Demon Fans Hopes & Dreams Inc.

This company still runs even though it hasn't made a decent product for a generation...

Yeah i realize that but surely there is no way we would be able to snare Prestia and Parker considering Parker would commend two 1st round draft picks.

There are a few on here who constantly bring him up. If a new player is mentioned they'll respond with "If we could land this player and Prestia that would be an amazeballs trade period!"

It's frustrating, as while there is no doubt we are keen, our overtures have already been knocked back for this year at least. But they will continually make up reasons why we can still land him.

The possibility still exists in this AFL landscape. This time 12 months ago, who would have thought that a recent # 1 draft pick like Tom Boyd could be traded? Who would have considered it even a remote possibility that the MFC would be shopping Trenners around? If it suits Gold Coast to trade Prestia to another club now instead of next year when they have no contractual hold over him, they might do it.

All speculation and hearsay so far Wiseblood.

This is a footy forum and if we didn't report or discuss the snippets of information that has been heard in the media at this time of year then what would we talk about.

I know you get frustrated by information other than cold hard facts, so maybe you should wait till the trade period is over before you comment , to save your self an ulcer or something.

We are allowed to dream about positive outcomes on this site even if they may not occur.

If you think we are no chance at all of landing a Prestia or a Parker then fair enough, but no need to lambaste others for hoping.

    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

    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.
