  • 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.


Would we take $cully back?

Contrast the way that the Geelong supporters handled Ablett's departure, versus the way our supporters handle Scully's departure.

During his time here, we were a rabble.  Senior players and staff used to pull Scully down with the "over-training" accusation, rather than seeing that a 19 year old was actually setting decent training standards.

Why would he come back here, playing for supporters that really have half a brain.

 

Clarko is on the money.  Scully has had his pay-day and will now accept unders.  Clarko is reaping the rewards of trading out dead wood when it should happen; not 3 years after.

Ablett was instrumental in getting the GFC it’s long awaited premiership. Son of a club legend.

Everything you say about Melbourne being a rabble at the time $cully was at the club would be most certainly true. Also his standards for training would be the same however....

A lot of us on this site are questioning him as a human being not a footballer. Liars are not my favourite kind of people. 

As for “supporters that really have half a brain” I would instead say many of them have honesty  and loyalty as a standard in their lives. EG: We love our club. 

Yes Clarko is the smartest and the best coach going around, but on this occasion for me, he is welcome to the $culldog.

Not naming sources. But this is a very, very serious chance of happening.

To us?!?

Balls14 doesn't have an extensive posting history but appears to be a normal fan with no history of big noting.

Scully coming back would break these servers forever.

The Saints are now expressing interest in Voldemort.

If he was upset at the party atmosphere at Melbourne, I wonder if he has heard of a little thing called the Saints Disco?

It's a shame it's Scully as he's the exact type of player we need.

I doubt, after the fall out of him leaving all those years ago, that he would want to come back here or feel comfortable doing so.

yeah but within a week we'd be killing the fattened calf and telling the story of the return of the prodigal son.

Memories are short whatever people like to think

.@TomBrowne7 reports Hawthorn is satisfied with Tom Scully’s medical and he will join Hawthorn for a relatively late pick. Only finer details of trade being finalised with announcement in the next few days. #7AFL #7News

The Giants must be in serious Cap trouble if they have to unload Scully for a "relatively late pick" with Shiel leaving as well. Happy that the throwing around of money has bit them on the bum.

Not a chance he is coming back.

Agree that he is exactly what we need and we in turn fit what he is looking for in a team within the premiership window but there is just too much bad blood. This is not even remotely like Ablett returning to Geelong.

'Satisfied' with his medical suggests that he may take some time to get back to full fitness.  I can't see GWS off loading Scully, who is apparently only on 500k next year, for peanuts if they don't believe there is a potentially serious issue with his ankle.

All I will say at this stage is what I was told yesterday morning:

1. Scully was also told the same thing as Dylan Shiel. Scully didnt take kindly to this. GWS still need to clear cap space.

2. Scully's put the feelers out. We were keen.

3. This was discussed by people within the club yesterday with little resistance. Only one person with in management was dead set against the idea.

4. Three way trade involving Fremantle, GWS & Melbourne had preliminary discussions after the initial Fremantle offer for Hogan was declined. Lobb, Scully, Hogan and a flurry of picks have been discussed. Melbourne are trying to get their hands on 5 (which is public knowledge) to get May done and GWS are looking to find a suitable deal to clear Scully off their books. 

5. Hawthorn have been deep into Scully for two weeks now and have had discussions with Hawthorn about a trade. GWS dont think Hawthorn have the currency to suffice them.

no doubt that they had identified the last two years for premierships and that next year was a bonus.

and of course Lobb is going as well... that's $2M to $2.5M and no one coming in of note

What currency do we have that Hawthorn don't. We're pick paupers at the moment.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. 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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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

    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
