  • 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.


Jack Trengove wins Casey B & F

All things considered, what a [censored] weak comment. 

Good on Jack, great effort, and such an impressive competitor.

No it wasn't! We selected $cully as number one and most form experts had $cully and Trengove as 1 & 2. It was not our recruiting team's fault that $cully was offered a $Million+ per year to go to GWS where he is amongst their best players. Are you suggesting that $cully would not make our top 22 (or for that matter not make Richmond's top 22)? ?

He is right though

we all thought it yesterday...

Disagree. That's not the case. Its an unknown as to what Trengrove would have achieved.

Trengrove looked promising in his first 2 years before injuries and the weight of the captaincy played its part. 

Poor injury management and the influence of our 'high performance' coaches and development programs snuffed out any chance of many of our high draft picks reaching their potential.

Same would have happened to Martin if he came to the MFC and probably worse given he had/has his own set of issues.

Can't see a club picking up Jack to play AFL but can see them putting him around their VFL squad to teach and develop them as a playing coach then moving to an assistant or development role with that club later.

Not too different to Matthew Egan who had is career cut short and is now with MFC.

Trengove was a good solid player, big heart. 

But he was always to slow to be considered as such a high draft pick

i thought that long before he was injured

$cully never wanted to be at Melbourne and as an athlete, should never been labelled number 1

He is a running machine

the only thing Dusty can do is play football and we didn’t even bother to chat to him

It summed up those dark dark years

Clueless

Fuxake, fence.  Bet you weren't complaining one iota in 2011/2012 when Trengove was one of the very few shining lights in our pus side.  Tell me when Trengove re-signed in the face of 186, we were up to our neck in the Scully thing, and Dustin Martin was nobody, you were saying "if only we'd picked Dusty".

I'm all for slamming the club for terrible recruiting.  Decisions like the Cook and Gysberts ones were a joke.  But sometimes you just have to accept that s*** happens.  He looked every bit an elite talent for years and is clearly a quality, professional individual.  Nobody could possibly have predicted that it would turn out the way it has.

I don't get this comment. Why do you say that?

No MFC listed player wants to win the b n f in the 2nds. It means they aren't playing in the ones..

I wonder Nasher had Richtank had first two picks who they would have chosen!?

All elementary of course now!

Pointless article as if was fit that preseason and everyone since his journey at our club may also have been far better?  or he may have been passed by the current first choice players such as Conca has been done at the tigers.

    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

    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.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
