  • 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.

Farewell Jack Trengove

Sneaky suspicion he will get picked up by Sydney. On the small ground his pace won't be an issue and he would come cheap - an issue for Sydney with Buddy and Tippett. His footy smarts and strong marking would be ideal for the Swans.

Strangely i was thinking the same.At a good club with a solid backline his clean disposal would fit in.

Trengove seems like a nice lad. Good demeanor. Just not cut out to be a footballer. Maybe a lack of talent in the end, not sure. Just wasn't cut out for it. Some have it and some don't.

He was made to be a footy player cut down by injury nothing else. Got the captaincy far too early, there were times when form dictated him be dropped as all third year player need to be, but because he was captain in his third season that was a joke by neeld, they say the players voted for it, the empowerment of the player went to far in this case. I know I will get knocked down but Maloney should have been made captain or Jones, and for Maloney he was not the best person for the job it was just no one else was ready for it.

This might well be correct. I think he is an ideal back pocket, has good footy smarts, reads the game well.

That's sheer bloody rubbish! You obviously didn't see him in his first year

Green should have kept the captaincy for another year. Neeld wanted to make a statement and he did. Just not the one he or we were hoping for. Turned out to be every bit as disastrous as our handling of Juniour.

His body might not have been up to it, but until he got the footy injury he was well and truly up to it.  I was excited for his future, and then he got the captaincy way too soon and a foot injury that he's never really recovered from.  It's a shame.

Bottom line is that he certainly had the talent.  It was just taken from him in the end.

Without wanting to rake over old coals was Green shunted for the 186 debacle?

Watch Jack Trengove giving his ‘farewell speech’ at the B&F.  

Absolute champion bloke. Another cursed MFC champion. 

Hope he gets success wherever or whatever the future brings. 

 

Yeah there was a lot of " water boarding " there and he's still on the list and it went on for far too long.

If they gave it to 9 then "they " should have given it to 4 too to say a few words

All of you're 3 lines above say it all

If we as a club are as advanced as " they like to think " then Watts wrong with hearing it from the obviously the most popular player in the room by the hand claps !?

Beware of South Australians they are some WATT [censored] !

This exchange embiggens neither of you.

    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
