Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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 Dean Kent

I believe Melbourne offered Dean a one year contract (maybe two?), St Kilda offered three and on more money. Given his history of injuries, surely you can’t have Ill feelings towards him for taking St-Kildas offer, I doubt anyone at our club does.

Funny thing. I caught up with a co-worker today and he was talking about the street party they threw in his neighbourhood. He met a young couple who recently moved in, the Kents. Dean chatted a bit about his footy, that his shoulder is almost as good as new after that injury. He also said exactly what you have, that it was a three year deal vs one year and with a baby to think of he went for security.

Pretty ordinary post. Loyalty works both ways! We weren't willing to offer what the saints were. The life of an afl footballer is short and security of three years is a much better option of possibly without a job next year.

Before you knock Dean Kent, just remember he was the one that kicked the sealer against West Coast to put us into the finals for the fist time in 12 years.

Will be a bit disappointing if he cops boos from the MFC faithful on Easter Saturday.

Not to mention that Dean was there and ground it out with us for a number of years when we were the joke of the competition.

His shoulder injuries of the past two seasons really were unfortunately timed as both of them occurred at times when Kent had worked hard and reestablished himself a spot in the side.  Copping big crunches like he did and subsequent dislocations is probably less to do with the frailty of his body and more to do with the hardness with which he attacked the game.  Doing his hammy again earlier this season was also unfortunate because again he had struck up some good form and was giving us multiple goals per game, but his hammy's were more his acchilies heal for us.

I wish him well at the Saint's, so long as he doesn't play well against us; which he probably will in one of the 5 games per year he plays for the Saint's.

P.S. any chance of a change of screen name to "Bring-Back-Kent" ?

A bit of symmetry there with Dean also heading off to the Saints!

Like Brian Wilson did when he left the Northey fold and kicked the winning goal against us in 1991?....

I always liked Kent and thought he had great upside. He WAS injured a lot though which no doubt  frustrated him more than it frustrated his supporters. Injury is not a crime however. He reminds me of Vardy, Sean Charles and Warren Dean, terrific players who simply had bad luck.

Like Kent as he has great potential if he can stay on the field.  But the normal impact in his last game that again busted his shoulder makes me think he has a weakness there that can't be fixed with surgery.  Good luck to him he got a three year deal and based on his injury history thats great for him.  Hopefully he can play will his 30s from here on.

I have no issues that Kent moved on to the Saints.  For me, he wasn’t able to keep up with the current team and brand of football that we are playing.  A change was needed for him and his re-signing wasn’t a priority for us.

He’s an AFL standard player who would probably be peripheral of every team in the league’s best 18.  If one of those teams is willing to offer 3 years- take it.

That bloody May he is pathetic. Hibberd is hopeless. KK is a traitor. Melksham, what a dud. Preuss too small. Frost too bloody slow. Lewis too inexperienced. Lever is brainless. Jeffy wouldn't know where the goals are.

Oh wait a second, they all came to us, great blokes and brilliant footballers the lot of them.

I wouldn't say KK is a great footballer. he has a lot to prove and not sure how you can call Preuss a great footballer when he played in the vfl last year as he wasnt best 22. Lewis isnt best 22 anymore and Garlett is fringe. So let's ease up on the 'great' label.

Explains a lot. Surprised our medical team didn't recognise this condition, though.

Gee, you missed the point of my post completely.

It was in relation to posters who denigrate any player who leaves us but love the ones who come to us.

I was being facetious/sarcastic.

Clearly Demonland needs a facetious/sarcastic font. We probably also need one for irony, another for political correctness and another for objecting to political correctness. Just in case.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
