  • 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.

Can't see how a trade could be orgestrated for Martin. 

As for Deludio the Tigers list is in terrible shape so they'll be looking at picks and are in a position to pay a good portion of his salary. 

Gold.

What the feck are teachers getting paid for these days?

I'm a fan. Not getting a regular game at GWS is no crime given how much talent they have up there. I'd be thrilled if we could get him in.

Amazing how GWS have all these blokes in the 2's that can't get a game. They'll get decent draft pics for these blokes and continue to pick up more talent.

I recall a couple of us advocating a big push for Zak Jones, when he wasn't getting games at the Swans. Too late now.

Zak Jones is a reasonable player but not much to get excited about.  Hunt, Salem, Jetta, Hibberd, probably Melksham all have him covered.

Fair call, Hunts a jet but we could do with another quick. 

 

Nup I beg to differ, if the right trade came up I would part with him! Brayshaw that is!

Jeez people on here overrate Melksham. What are his credentials as a backman?

Very small sample size, but he played off half back in the last half dozen games of 2015 and did quite well. Goodwin recruited him to fill a half back role off the back of these games.

We need more long term guaranteed best 22.  We don't need more Bugg or Kennedy or slightly better versions of them.  We need very good players who will push Vandenberg and Garlett down to depth.  We should be chasing Mitchell and Hartlett.  We have enough talented youth coming through.  I'd be happy to put next year's 1st on the table.  It's self-fulfilling, with Mitchell and/or Hartlett in our team we finish higher.

I am not a fan of Kennedy. Don't see him lasting long with us.

Redleg,I am not convinced we can give away a first round pick two years running and if you could it would be like a dog chasing its tail. The important thing is to recruit two delisted  experienced players out of Scott Thompson,Harvey and Petrie. Lets not get on the too old, too slow bandwagon,Harvey will get more Branlow Votes than most Dee players.We need to get another Hunt and a ready to go young guy to play ruck/forward or we turn O'Mac into that kind of player. We also need a CHF and a CHB. Regarding BUGG and KENNEDY we need to step them which could be done  via physical training or whatever. Duryea of Hawthorn took 4yrs to become a regular player.Recruitment is important to get the right people.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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

    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.
