  • 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.

Same likelihood of them wearing the red and blue.

Nah, no way. Fyfe will never ever play for Melbourne in our current situation, Hartlett on the other hand could be persuaded.

Different player to Vince, and I am sure that ND6 can be involved in a deal but we would want more than Hartlett.

I am not getting excited until it becomes more than a rumour that they will move him on.

I would try to do: Hartlett and ND10 for ND6 and ND25.

But, yeah, we can't be choosers... Hartlett and ND30 for ND6.

We could do plenty worse than Hartlett, but I'm not sure he's worth pick 6 unless we think he is capable of being an every week top 3 midfielder. I certainly wouldn't pay that much for a half back flanker. If Port were to throw in a pick or a player, I'd say yes.

An every week top 3 mid will cost you two first round picks.

Pick 6 for Hartlett is about right and I would be doing backflips if we landed him though I seriously doubt we are in the running.

If we can get Hamish Hartlett for pick 6.. YOU GET IT DONE!! Simple as that. Case closed. End of story. For those of you thinking he isn't worth pick 6 especially with the draft not going deep this year then you are kidding yourselves. Having Hartlett not only adds more depth to our midfield AND experience, but it also ads in another very good player in the midfield to release blokes like Vince, Tyson, & Jones..

Lets start a Nathan Fyffe thread was reported Melbourne have enquired about his services. This is never going to happen I hope I am wrong but he is not coming to Melbourne.

Here, have these, and sprinkle them through that post

,, ..,.

Then run a spellcheck.

I know it's only a rating based on a Supercoach/ DreamTeam style points system, but the AFL site has Hamish Hartlett rated as the 36th best player in the league.

Melbourne's best is Nathan Jones at a distant No. 95. Bernie is 124.

Thats quite a difference but aren't there a lot of discrepencies in the AFL tables? Can't recall how they are formulated but remember reading of some howler's in there.

What!?! lol Kane Mitchell? The guy is a massive spud.

Wow really? I think he's decent steak knives. Maybe 3rd rounder instead?

Oh my, well that was fun to watch.

The goal at 2.08 where he is on the angle, inside the square and his teammates are pointing to the goals made me laugh. What was that, a 70m kick?

he can kick...bloody hell

What we need is something to scare the bezeesus out of backlines and have them on the back foot from the get go. This kind of lad ( who's not shy on backing himself in...and i LIKE that ) together with a ready made running mate.. might just work. We'd have the smaller types to crumb etc...suddenly we go from lethargic in the 50 to lethal.

Definitely be enquiring as to this bloke's availability !!

Only highlights I know...but he shows great awareness and anticipation. That can't be taught ( not really ) . You either have these smarts or you don't. ( we've already got a few that don't :rolleyes: )

    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
