  • 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.

Geelong recruiting team are building a big hole of no youth to try maintain their ladder position. Repercussions is going to be gold

Get real. They've got a stack of promising young players to compliment elite players in Dangerfield and Selwood. They've done it brilliantly. They've brought in Dangerfield, S.Selwood, Henderson and Z.Smith and given up picks in a year that has a shallow draft.

The Danger deal was a good trade to open the week. Seemed to be the elephant in the room over the last couple of weeks.

But he's still a chance to come to Melb right????

So he is saying we don't want to trade any players is that right??Or we cant trade players for the right or any deal. What about Dawes or Spencer?Did he mention them??

Yeah, He's going on trade radio to tell the other 17 clubs exactly what we are doing.

Makes it slightly awkward when we don't trade a player and we have shopped them all over town but I'm sure the players dont read the press and will give their all next year......

crows should've, and probably did, demand first two first rounders for 2015 and 2016 and a player.

dangerfield is probably a top 10 player in the competition and all cats have given up are speculative draft picks.

bargain.

Definitely a bargain, but would have been a far greater bargain had they got him for free. In the end, I think it is a mature trade, made on the first day of trade period, so hats off to both Geelong and Adelaide.

I take it that's Goddard from Essendon? During his segment on AFL 360 each week he can't talk highly enough of the club and how much he loves being there..

Nice that he likes it. Fair enough to want out of the saints at the time but the club he has gone to has provided loads of pain for him and no flag. The bummer fans are certainly 100 % behind him so thats a comfort for Brendan.

Restricted Free Agency just worked quite well in the eyes of the Player Assoc.

The club has no chance to keep the player that wants to go but at least they get more value than if Danger was unrestricted.

I would tweak the FA rules but this one went well for the competition.

I've been saying since FA was bought in that the receiving club should have to give up something. This is what happened with Geelong and Danger.

Excellent result.

Would make sense by the Tigers to unite the Grimes brothers.

So they can complete the set of modest players?

Anyway, both Grimeses live in Melbourne. They probably unite every weekend at their parents house for a Sunday roast.

But they are not allowed to discuss game plans and they come to Mums' in different colored T-Shirts.

As much as I'd like Swan Josh Kennedy leading our midfield - how about re-uniting our own skipper's brother; Zak at Sydney. He played in the finals, add some in and under.

Funny that the complicated Dangerfield deal got done first, before some relatively straightforward ones.

Signed off, you mean. I think this deal was done way back ...

    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

    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
