  • 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.

From what little I have seen of him, have always liked him and reckon he could be a very good 2nd ruck / forward. Hard to do at North with Petrie and Goldie.

Depending on what the lawyers think of his legal problems, is he worth the risk?

(Out of contract now)

Yes and I posted this 2 weeks ago in the 2nd ruck/fwd thread.

No

Why no DD?

As a seat warmer for 2-3 years he'd give more than Dawes.

Did you see him rd 23 game.

I'm not saying you rate Dawes but when most people speak of him I keep hearing : brings it ground, provides a contest.....

Daw can ruck, mark, disposal is ok(it's improved from what it was) and tackle.

I always thought Daw had some promise. Don't think he gets much chance at Arden st. Not sure he's come on as possibly expected.

How many Daws do we want :rolleyes:

Doesn't pass the no DH's policy!

yes he does; his issues were years ago, when much younger. everyone has to mature from their adolescent's. & he has had bigger issues Re cultural hurdles, that put stress on, than most.

That, and hooking up with a team mates (Daniel Pratt) girlfriend.

I don't want to see us waiting out both Melksham's WADA suspension & Daw's jail time.

But you want Colin Sylvia....?

Ok...

Check what I said in that thread.

Never said I wanted him, said I wouldn't be against him. Bit of a difference.

I mean I'm not against Grand Final Eve being a public holiday. Doesn't mean I think it should have happened.

Can take a contested mark. (Dawes struggled to take a chest mark)

Can kick reasonably straight. (Dawes might be a bigger kick)

Can cover the ground. (Dawes is a plodder)

Can ruck effectively enough for a decent chop out. (Dawes can't)

No one is suggesting he's a world beater and I don't see him as a long term option but what's our options....Dawes? How much crap did he cop on here during the year. We will be forced to play him due to lack of other options. What if Gawn goes down? Take out Dunn/Jones/Vince all of our talent is 18-23. We need another fwd, our play for Lynch failed. If we draft someone chances are they won't come on like Hogan has. We need someone to warm the seat.

He would come cheap and we could do a lot worse....

His round 23 game showed he has grown a player.

Is this the same Daw who can't get a game? Yep he'll help us climb the ladder.

He's kicked 6 goals in his career.. He's a good athlete but not a footballer.

He has kicked 6 goals in one AFL game, name the Demons who have done that?

He has 17 goals from his 16 games, yes no world beater, but does he beat Dawes and Pedo?

Did you watch rd 23 v the Tigers.

He can play.

And before someone says thats one game, some are getting excited about the Melksham highlight package vs the Suns.

Pedersen will be the man.

I don't get the reference to Lynch? He doesn't ruck, would have played a different role to what Daw would.

I'd rather us go for Daniel Gorringe for more ruck depth if that's why you want Daw. Can ruck, rest forward, unfulfilled talent and would also come cheap. But I'll back Viney & co in on their decision.

    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

    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.
