    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.

Seems to be a forgotten man but had a real purple patch last year.

Really looked good and very composed in defence.

Anyone know what's gone wrong?

How was his NEAFL form?

Was he injured?

22yo promising key defender,  is he worth looking at?

Could be a case of looking good in a great team, but I was definitely impressed with him last season. Is he composed enough with the ball?

Unaccountable and probably not enough intensity. Let's pass on this option.

There's a heap of Sudanese kids running around in the juniors in WA - assume other states would be seeing quite a few as well.

Majak, Allir, Chol are great athletes but still NQR. I think it's only a matter of time before one comes into the game a sets it alight.

I'd be interested in Allir, he's had some finals experience and knows how the games played.

What are we going to use him for --a race against Frosty. SImilar type of players although I was really impressed with him until he lost his way a bit in 2017.

He got passed by Melican. That is who we should be chasing.

No.

He did show some promise but ultimately I can't see him developing much further (certainly not to a Rance, Hurley, McGovern, Talia level).

Also, if we acquire Lever we have no need for him.

I'd rather see the club focus on generating additional midfield or small forward depth.

 NEAFL form has been very good but Melican took his spot.

Can't see a 22 year old key position player improving.  I guess you are past it by that stage

the  lad does intrigue me.

He has some wonderful tricks in his bag.  For whatever reason hes a NQR at Swannieland.  

Attributes...can take a mark...and i MEAN    TAKE a mark..  he can kick both sides.  Hes actually got a bit of nous. But is he really AFL ?? 

Hes a big boy...solid

 

But then theres any number like him in a fashion.....

does intrigue me lol

What happened to him?

Played unbelievable football at the tail end of last year, gets a mention from Malcolm Turnbull at the UN, then gets injured and is never heard of again...

kiss of death

I reckon if we miss out on lever, he would be one we should chase. He's been in the system long enough that he has a mature body to play first team football. He has shown he can play as a key defender much better than OMac so this would be a boost for our backline. 

If we could have AA, Frost and maybe TMac, that wouldn't be a bad start. Frost and AA would play as key defenders and TMac would use his intercept marking abilities to play third man. 

If we managed to get Lever than I'd have Tmac and Frost playing key defenders with Lever playing third man up. His disposal is much better and would be way more effective coming out than TMac.

I think he's a real project player. He's already an upgrade on garland and frost and possibly even pushing oscar. Had a lot of room to improve

Turnover merchant. 

Dont need or want anymore of his type.

Would be a good replacement for Frost if he goes. Can play on small or tall, is generally composed and kicks within his limitations, and also provides really good run and carry.

It's a yes from me.

    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,

    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
