  • 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.

No longer a demon but wanted to acknowledge Jamie Bennell who has been delisted by the Eagles after 93 games for the two teams: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-09-12/eagles-delist-six-after-early-fina

Not withstanding being inhibited by all of the club's woes I reckon Grimes was also a victim of a changing game. Early in his career he was rock solid across half-back where he was strong overhea

Thanks and best wishes from me.

Saddened by Grimes in particular. Terrible way for an ex-captain to go out.

But at the end of the day we barrack for the team and they are but soldiers. That is the football world we live in.

Sad to see Grimes end his career with us that way, he just couldn't get his decision making and disposal right and the number of times he kicked it out of bounds on the full was infuriating. He played 100 games for the club he grew up supporting so that's got to be the dream of any kid growing up.

He was dreadful in the Casey GF and that wouldn't have helped but I reckon his cards were marked before then anyway.

All the best Jack and hope you get a gig elsewhere.

All three should be proud of what they achieved in the Red & Blue. Grimesy gave his all and loves the club. Matt & Dean worked their ass of to get a shot as mature pick ups, all three of them finished in top 5 of the B&F. well done lads.

Yeah I feel for Jack, surprised they didn't even attempt a trade. A sad end to his career with us.

I guess it shows you what his currency is out there in the marketplace. Hope someone else gives you a shot!

All the best to all 3

Sad to see Grimes' career end the way it has. I truly hope he finds a spot somewhere next season.

The other two, it was always coming.

I really hope Grimes gets to keep playing, would be thrilled for the family if he gets the chance to run out alongside his brother at Richmond.

 

that said, can't say I am surprised at these delistings.  Thanks for you contribution to the club Matt, Dean and in particular Jack.

He is still with us till Oct 31 officially, so like Fitzy a club can give us a 4th or 5th round pick, should they choose, gives Jack the opportunity to talk to everybody.....whoops he is a free agent....forgot

Will just add as a sponsor of Jack for a few years, he gave his all for the club and is a really nice bloke. 

Wish him well for the future in footy and for his life in general. 

Thanks to Matt and Dean for their contribution as well and good luck for the future.

Surprised to see Jones go in the first pass. I thought he had a case for one more season, and probably would have played games next season, but I guess that's (rightly) not where the bar is set.

No surprises with Grimes, but it still gives me a stab of grief now that it's official. A player who gave his all the MFC during the toughest of times. I hope the note he leaves on is not too sour and he can continue to be a Melbourne man after footy.

Thanks to all three for their contributions.

Three guys that tried their hearts out for the club.  No surprises with Terlich and even Grimes; am a little surprised that Jones went as he seemed to be in the selectors top 26 or so players for most of the year.  

This is, I suppose, the price you pay for an improving list; you lose some guys who gave their all during some very tough years.

I actually feel sick in the guts for Grimsey

I had hoped he would rebound, a quality person who did everything the club asked of him. Loyal and clearly respected by his teammates. I wish him every success.

 I'm surprised Terls got the flick.He was just coming good!!

 

Matty Jones just lacks size but tried hard.The squirrel move was his undoing .

Jack Grimes might get picked up with any luck.A tough career getting smashed in a poor era , he stood up for us , especially when he was younger.

Does delisting mean anything to FA status, as far as a club getting compensation?

I think so Redleg, i don't think you get compensation for a delisted free agent. The article does say we have advised them we will not be offering contracts next season, whether they have been officially delisted yet, i'm not sure.

Yes, it means no compensation. Wouldn't have got any anyway most likely as I doubt Grimes will be on a very big contract if he gets picked up - very long shot anyway IMO.

Unless you were worried about compo for Terls :-)

    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
