  • 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.

Today should be a lesson for those who wanted to do the trades early and for those who continually wanted to play hard ball. MFC and GWS clearly had a plan from the beginning of trade period to use t

The last ten pages on this thread feature some of the worst demonland posts i have ever read. The trade period isn't a race - the club that gets the most trades earliest doesn't win. Because rushing

I'd probably rather keep Tyson if that were their offer.

I suppose that is what I'm trying to get at. What is the point of his constant statements about it? Adelaide won't change tact or strategy just because of his whining.

Campaigning for the future removal of the restricted form of FA.

He's not working in Danger's best interests now, he's thinking of easing the movement of other clients in future.

Talking about Parker now....

Apparently moves have been made towards Parker but he has no interest in leaving the Swans.

Looking at staying at Sydney with the possibility of signing a contract extension before the end of next year.

Connors is such a [censored], imploring Adelaide to accept the compensation and let Dangerfield go.

Just let the clubs handle it.

i don't understand his attitude

client is rfa and adelaide perfectly within their rights to match offer......them's the rules

what happens then is a diiferent scenario and really outside of fa. it is essentially back to the old ooc status

to avoid the matching offer the cats could always up their offer....that's their choice and it is a market, but they want their cake and eat it

it would also suit connors to get more loot for his client (commission)

anyway i'm sure crows aren't taking advice from connors. it's between carlton and crows i'd say

Why do people up trade scenarios?

I presume the missing word is dream. If so I ask the same question each year. Different strokes and all that and I applaud the effort to hypothesise deals that are out of all but the club's control, but I don't get it either.

No... we are not improving our list with that trade.

Griffiths is a fringe 22 player at best for the Tigers and would not be an upgrade on Dawes or Pederson.

While Pick 12 in this shallow draft is unlikely to net you a player close to Tyson's ability.

Why would we entertain a trade for a player who in 2 years has finished 2nd (2014) and 13th (2015) in our B&F.

Was clearly struggling with injury in 2015 as well.

What is it with your bizarre obsession with wanting to recruit players not good enough to get games at their current side?

I'm assuming by players not good enough to get a regular game, you mean players who played 16 games this year and the games he missed mainly being due to injury?

Firstly I'd be thrilled if the whole Tyson being traded thing goes nowhere. Love him and would rather he stay.

But disgree that the scenario does not improve the list. Griffiths fills the 2nd key forward/ruck role that we're after. Turning 25 next year and getting ready to hit his straps. Watch his first quarter and a half against us in Round 4 this year before he hurt his ankle. Was looking extremely dangerous and I reckon is due for a big 2016. Then at Pick 12 we could potentially pick up someone like Balic, Tucker, Bonner etc.

On the other hand as I said, I'm more then keen to have Dom stay and watch him recapture his 2014 form next year.

He's now been in the system for 6 years and has played as a key forward the entire time with occasional stints in the ruck.

Not once in those 6 years has he even averaged a goal a game.

Set your sights higher.

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
