  • 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.

Just got an sms from the waitress who served Jesse and Nat their coffee.

She tells me that Jesse said to Nat that he was only having the coffee with him to stir up DL.

She then heard Nat say to Jesse, that if he grew his hair, he would show him how to tie up a man bun.

And how do I know this waitress red?? Hmmmmmmm???

Would it really be the end of the world if Jesse left? To be honest, I’d be just as excited with their pick 5, first rounder next year, Balic and possibly Tabener.

I'd just say 'No. You are contracted'

Tony Sheahan is just a troll. He has no idea. 

Is that Tony is it? I had an inkling it may have been Nixon? Isn't Tony a Dees supporter though?? They are all full of it, just trying to rip hearts from supporters souls. Jay Clark seems to be one of the better ones on the Dees?

Why? So we can hold onto a player and build our game structure / plan for him and not develop players or build something now, when he will leave as a free agent in two years time, and then receive less in pick value as a result?

Makes perfect sense now to trade him than wait for the inevitable.

Picks are waaaaaay over-rated. And two years is a long time. Hell, 6 months can be a long time. 

You keep what you have until you don't want them anymore or you can get something better. I don't see either of those conditions being met today.

I'd like to see some stats on JH, will have a look later. % of games won with/without him, better off to do this year as current. And also what our return from him is games missed v games total. Has had a bad run and spent a lot of time on the sidelines.

I know nothing about who is liable to be available at any pick, but I do know one thing - it's a gamble, you may get a star almost immediately, you may get one who is a star in a few years (and then leaves for another club) or you may draw a dud.  So any deal which involves trading a player (unless we have an excess of players in that position) who has played AFL reasonably well for a #5 draft pick is a dangerous gamble.   Better to trade picks and let other clubs do the gambling.

Great.

Jesse has met Fyfe for A SECOND time.. 

This is getting ridiculous.

Club may as well fold.

So he met some guy with a man bun.  Melbourne unaware of meeting (dont need to be), not aware of wanting to be traded (because he doesn’t?).  No news.  Jesse is always going to attract the go home story, I have seen nothing to suggest he will not be contracted and playing next year.

I would start at 3 first rounders for Hogan. Contracted player who is a key forwArd that we payed 2 first rounders for originally.

Since then we have developed him from the age of 17 to be primed for next 10-12 years. 

3 first rounders is what I feel is needed to get it done.

It's a pretty good consolation if it were to happen.

    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
