  • 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.

I thought Pyke's remarks after the GF, where he tried to wash his hands of any responsibility for the team's performance, were remarkable. If that's a reflection of his overall attitude to coaching ...

Jesse going nowhere, boys and girls.

MFC has demanded at least pick 2 and Freos first rounder next year for Jesse. This is why Freo offered Weller and 5, for The Suns' pick 2. This will then be sent to us for Hogan along with their 2018

The club has someone else in their sights big time. Not Lever, that deal is done. I'll let you know if I can find out more

If Sloane is wanting to leave Adelaide and home to Victoria we'd be mad not to throw everything at him. We need quality midfielders and leaders. He would be perfect for us. Forget Lever and everyone else, if Sloane is legitimately available then we move heaven and earth to get him!

Don't they?  That's strange.

I've heard that we are in line to get Bontempelli, Lever, Tom Lynch and Ollie Wines for nothing more than a 4th round pick.  Can't name my source as I don't need to for a rumour.

If Sloane were available I Would think the saints would be in the best position with draft pics available to get him provided he wanted to go there Of course. 

Imo we would have sfa chance if getting him.

Zanotti files on Facebook with a great track record posted about Sloane. 

Trade Whisperer saying St Kilda have contacted GWS re Shiel 

He seems to be getting a lot of mail today.

Rockliff won't be at Lions next year.

Pies making massive late play for Lever.

The one that disappoints me the most is Vickery is staying at Hawthorn next year.

He's taking it all second hand from either the club twitter accounts or from trade radio.  No mail involved at all.

Well obviously that is up to you.

But if you post a rumour without some sense of where it came from and it likely veracity - everyone reading it will ask the same question  - what is the source? 

You  read about sloane via the Zanotti file. That's helpful to know because i can make an assessment of how reliable it is based on my knowledge of the Zanotti file from previous years.

It would have been helpful to know that in the fist instance, even more so if it was correctly quoted. 

But sure, if you don't mind causing some low level frustration and/or being disregarded when posting a rumour knock yourself out and post rumours without naming (or even hinting at) the source.

Sloane is as good as Martin, Dangerfield, Kelly etc..  Throw the money at him, also Trengoves no.9 just became available.

No he's not. Sloane has been blanketed during games and had no impact. Martin and Dangerfield are power athletes who can do damage as a forward. And Kelly is more skillful than Sloane, and can rack up equally high possessions.

Do we watch the same player? He can get tagged, yes, but he found his way around it towards the end. His 1st qtr in the GF he was the most damaging mid and forward.

So he's not to blame at all for the club wanting to trade him?  Really, Ralph?

I wonder if in a decades time (or 3 years even) we will still be debating the relevance of Watts and or how this was handled...doubt it.

I have said for years that the club uses him badly. Jack has played out of position, willingly pinch-hit in the ruck and put up with the worst delivery in the league for years. He's gone above and beyond trying to plug the holes in this team. No matter what they ask of him, he gives it his best. Send him to a side with decent foot skills and he will thrive.

So he's not to blame at all for the lack of professionalism he has shown, especially at the beginning of this year when he is looked upon not only as a senior player but as someone who needs to set an example as well?

I'm not laying all the blame at his feet, but to suggest it's all down to the club and Jack has done nothing wrong is akin to sticking your head in the sand.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
