  • 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.

Hasn't missed a game in 5yrs. Better than garland and could give us a great defence and allow Oman to grow in the twos...

Have you confused Josh Gibson and Sam Gibson?

We don't need either.

24yo who's done nothing, zilch with his career to date.

Why???

Keep the lid on tight boys...

...and why would we want Darling? a perennial under achiever.

He's kicked 40-50 goals 5 out of the last 6 years (We'll count a 39g season as 40) what is he meant to be achieving? A coleman medal every year? Not saying he's who we should be targetting, but give the guy some credit.

I don't see it happening, BUT, WHAT IF, the Dockers offered pick 5 this year, their first pick next year, a player and Balic thrown in and we knew that with pick 5 we could get a particular big Victorian forward in the draft who could replace Jesse.

What would we do then, if that was the offer ?

Youd take it.

Jay clark claiming Jesse me with Nat Fyfe on Tuesday  

This is doing the rounds now and expect it to blow up into a full blown steam train story tomorrow. Lansburger said he’s heard 5 and Balic but that’s unders. Unders? It’s daylight robbery. 2 first rounders isn’t enough for the dees to think about it let alone do it.

Yep. I think it’s BS but I’d want their 2017 first rounder, 2018 first rounder and balic. Hogan unlike lever is contracted and qualitykey forwards have a lot more trade value

perhaps the two picks, balic and Tabenar for hogan and pick 27

Just saw his tweet. Claims that hogan unhappy with Watts trade. This is a circus now. Goodwin may end up losing the playing group. 

Anyone but Jay Clarke (who seems to be in the  know at Melbourne) and I'd dismiss this as stuff & nonsense.

Unfortunately he's been right fairly often on the D's

If Hogan walks because of Watts being told he would be better served elsewhere, then he is a fool and a sook.  His job is not list management.  He can be unhappy for his friend, but still be a professional.

maybe we are landing Fyfe?

agree with this. hogan is a sook on field. & if true.. a bigger sook off the field

So Hogan is upset Watts is traded one hour down the highway to Geelong, so intends to ask for a trade to the other side of the county.

They are just reporting a story that people will want to know about. It was written in the Perth Now, simply to get clicks and sell papers.

No, he said he's "not happy".

Of course he's "not happy" but that doesn't mean he's "unhappy".

Hogan might be ambivalent to the whole thing.

If Hogan goes it should start with 2017 1st round and Neale. Balic and Tavener are steak knives in this deal.

The problem with the Hogan rumours are he is contracted. So if he requests a move it's going to cost Freo a lot.

I thought this news would excite some ppl here as well. Didn't we play better without Hogan last year?

Doing it on the big stage, helping his team win when it counts.

He's one of their biggest downhill skiers...

He stood up in a final against Port this year but his record is not good.

i wouldnt mind if hogan goes.  we'd get some compo and our best wins were without him this year because he sooks instead of applying defensive pressure

Seriously mate, show some respect, Jesse didn't miss games this year through sooking.

I heard a Geelong player supposedly was at our facilities prior to their b&f. No idea who and no idea how true this could be. But they have connections via the women's team to the cats. Watts to Geelong could be why... 

I believe it was Darcy Lang who toured Dees.  Cats allowing him to look elsewhere as they will not be offering him a new contract.  We could effectively get him for next to nothing but will he add anything to Dees? 

Hogan meeting with Lyon this week -  spoken with a Board member that said we’ve no intention to trade.

My mates from Perth had word last year that Fyfe wanted to come to the Dees, I was on here every 5 minutes last trade season hoping it would happen. Perhaps this year?

Why can't someone huge want to come instead of leave?

For every rumour that could break our hearts there has to be an opposite rumour that could give us hope

    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.

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.

    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
