  • 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.

The last line is an AFL get out clause.

The committee can refer it to Mark Evans if the verdict appears to be a material anomalous result.

Is anyone from the crows on the committee?

It's all in reality bullshlt though. Bout as real as Essendons coaches interviews

Apparently a 'big name' AFL star will be appearing on Trade Radio shortly to announce a decision on his future.

He isn't a big star but could it be Howe? Or are we still waiting on someone else to make that announcement?

I'm going to spend the morning pretending that Hogan will announce a 10 year deal with us.

Not being over the complexities but how can Geelong actually do the trades for all 4 players nominating them?

Could be trading their way out of both this year's and next year's draft.

Relative amount of risk associated and flies in the face of how they built their success. Then again, no little Ablett's or Scarlett's on the immediate horizon, so a change of tact probably required.

Just smacks a bit of short term gain...

Lol. Won't keep it up for long then, but I love seeing his face with a look of pure misery. Reminds me of our win over them.

Levi Casboults manager on trade radio, mentioned there has been some suits inquiring about his services. Could Melbourne possibly look at him to help Hogan out? His kicking has improved and I rate him one of the best contested marks in the league.

I hope so. Mahoney said we're looking for some support for Hoges, however we've yet to be linked to any key forwards.

Meets the age brief along with being competative and can also go into the ruck.

Kicked 24 goals in 16 games this year. A big yes for me!

I get the feeling Geelong are trying to keep their head above water. Proof will be in the pudding, but it could lead to disaster.

Are we after a forward though ?

I had the impression we were looking to play frost upfield in 16..possibly as the Hogan foil.

Same.. I remember last year I proposed a trade of Watts for Casboult when Malthouse was really keen on Watts and I got absolutely flamed for it..I think now majority of people on demonland now would do that trade in a heartbeat.

That's what was said.

But at the preseason he was very impressive with his speed and strength running straight the corridor from CHB.

No bastard would touch him.

What would Levi Casboult be worth in terms of a pick? I'd give up our second round pick in a heartbeat...

With Hogan and Casboult in the same forward line the ball would never touch the ground.

Casboult would be a huge get 2 monsters up forward I hope the demons chase hard you would think playing along side Hogan would be enticing for LC.

Maybe, but some don't like to play across HF (and some can't play across HF). Hogan demands the ball wherever he is and I hope we don't do what Ross Lyon did to Riewoldt...

Put Hogan 25 out - give him the 50 - work out how to get it there but kicking goals is what he should be doing, not spending all his time as a glorified wing.

No offence to Riewoldt who has kicked over 600 goals but he has averaged more than 3 goals a game only once - in his 9th year.

If you're right, I must be in the minority. I can't see much point in recruiting another player who can't kick.

    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

    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
