    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.

First year player, great football IQ, plays at FF not in the ruck....already one of the better KPF's in the game heading toward being an absolute champion..

Yep, I can see the similarities.

Casboult doesn't play in the ruck. He plays forward and pinch hits in the ruck. Was also a rookie elevation rather then someone good enough to be mini drafted a year early.

Remember we're looking for someone to compliment Hogan and fit in with our structure. Not someone to be Hogan's equal.

You want to see Dunn or Tom McDonald going up against Goldstein in the ruck when Gawn needs a rest be my guest.

My source told me gold coast was the target and im guessing Prestia may still be a possibility.

Everything continually points to him, but I'm tipping Gold Coast get him to hang around in case their form trends upwards next year and he decides to stay. If they don't improve, every Victorian club will be all over him, and our chances take a significant dip again.

Our best chance is still this year I believe.

I just think a Howe Prestia swap makes alot of sense, we may have to give up next years 1st round pick as well.

Actually this is an aspect that's going to be quite intriguing. ..that is the valuation, use etc of 'next season picks"

It's a bit like having a credit card come trade week.

The temptation of reap now pay later must I think raise it's head at some juncture.

Something big is brewing guys........... not PD

Next week will be big.

What is brewing

There was a bit of brewing going on straight after our last flag - Carlton United and Melbourne Bitter as I recall.

Thats Todd Viney meeting with Gold Coast officials in regards to Howe

... or Prestia.

Hopefully both.

Hogan averages a grand total of 4 more possessions a game, (than Levi) yet i don't hear you complaining about his lack of the ball?

Both will do a lot better with the defenders having to worry about the other, and with improving midfield delivery (both qualitatively and quantitatively.)

I actually think we are closer to a flag than GC.

I don't think Prestia will leave this trade period, what we need to do now is make sure we finish above GC in 2016 and push for top 8.

A successful 2016 season will do wonders for our chances of recruiting Dion. Forget about $$$, he will get that wherever he plays...its all about on field

I would prefer to trade next years first rounder as it is likely to be around the 9-12 mark. If we can use it to trade for an A grade mid with one of ToumpAs Howe Dawes ect and Draft Weidemann this year.

In Prestia Weideman Kennedy Bugg Melksham

This is where a next-season-pick becomes interesting.

Talk about sliding doors etc

After hearing Marcus Ashcroft on Sen just then there is no way Dion Prestia will be a Demon this year. Already been training at the footy club gym and is definitely committed to GC next year.

Might aswell put a line through him now.

Still if we get Bugg Kennedy and Melksham plus keep pick 6 that will be a win for us.

Will be interesting if we could do something like

Our first pick this year (6) for Sydney's first pick this year and next year.

We use our future pick in a trade, then use Sydney's first pick this yeAr.

Next year we overtake Sydney on the ladder and end up with a better pick then Sydney has.

Long shot but these type of situations could happen.

Ideal replacements for Petracca and Trengove!

Not sure why you are reading so much into what he sad, it was hardly definitive.

Definitely wouldn't put a line through Prestia just yet.

So in addition to Prestia's manager, Ashcroft has now said that Prestia will be playing at GC in 2016, and yet people still think that GC will trade him. In the words of Harry Hoo, "Amazing".

He actually had a good goal kicking effeciency this year, media just jumped on board sledging him. His hands are ridiculous too. Get him!

Does goal kicking efficiency count out on the fulls?

    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.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
