  • 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.

I like the idea of McCartney working with Lennon again.

Get it happening. If reports are true of the Tiges wanting Grimes then throw in a pick with him and we'll take Lennon. Grimes and a 3rd rounder for Lennon? I think we need to keep building on this

If anyone thinks that Grimes for Lennon would be accepted by Richmond or that these Beatles puns are funny, they did too many drugs in the 60s

Fine, fine.

... what if we throw in Terlich?

I wouldn't be so hasty in letting go of Terlich. He's been quietly working on his craft in the VFL and I have a feeling he'll have a break-out season next year and those doubting the wisdom of his two year extension will end up with egg on face.

... said no one ever.

They dropped him for Griffiths I think? So it was more of a "match up" thing as they wanted to go tall forward with Riewoldt, Vickery and Griffiths to stretch north's defence.

Didn't work and I think if they had their time again they would go with Lennon over Griffiths. A lot of Richmond supporters weren't happy when the change was made and even more annoyed in hindsight.

Strange that :-)) Cards in microwaves??

Shifting the discussion to the works of Lennon himself, if you had gone the other way it may have got wings!

Lennon looks like he might be heading for the pre season draft. Carlton are front runners to snag him for free.

If the tigers can't sign him soon I expect they will listen to all offers rather than let him walk to Carlton for free.Carlton in his ear, will be interesting to see what happens here.

If I was Richmond, I'd just trade him to Carlton for Yarran & their 3rd Round Pick.

Say to Carlton, you wanted a 1st Round Pick for Yarran? Here he is, so how about you throw a 3rd rounder our way also for the two years development already put in.

They're not that smart though Richmond, so I expect him to walk into the PSD.

Strikes as the more sane outcome also. JG for Lennon. Keep it simple.

Richmond dont have a lot of love for the Bluebaggers and wont want to do them any favours.. Dealing is dealing but the Tiges wont be allowing freebies.

Can someone please explain to me why Lennon is being shopped around and threatened to walk in the PSD? He was pick 12 in the draft and has come on alright.. Why are Richmond not doing what they can to retain this bloke on their list?

Because the Tiges are worse at list management than us and that's saying something!

It's reported that the Tigers want to keep him and he wants to stay, so the issue must be contract terms.

Either Lennon is chasing a few more dollars, or Richmond is low balling him. The truth is probably somewhere in between, and they could both be a fair way apart. I expect that MFC will ask the question. Lennon is a classy player, it was a toss up (in my mind) between Salem and Lennon at pick 9 for us.

Is Lennon really the sort of player we want? Firstly, he clearly has tickets on himself if he is expecting a massive pay rise after playing 9 games this year for 11 disposals per game . Secondly, I don't see him as a genuine midfielder and he's clearly not a key position player, so how does he fill a pressing need for us?

I think the issue with his pay is that Rich offered base fee plus match payments.

He and his management want a more guaranteed income.

I think it is stingy of Richmond to offer a game based contract.

The kid has shown he can play very well at AFL in just his second year.

Also, he has no direct control over how many senior games as it is up to the match committee, injuries etc.

Rich should wake up to themselves and it will teach them a lesson if they lose him over penny pinching.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
