  • 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.

I think he’s gone from Pies judging by the cover of the UNO cards. I see numbers 2,3 and 4. No number 5, wild card is tricky to decipher though.

hmmmm. But there is black and white on the wild card surrounding the red and blue and All-Australian colours.

Better consult my magic 8 Ball.

Hey @faultydet lives there..... should get him to head down to the lagoon and get in his ear.

He could say he’s from Brisbane and goes for the Lions and has been following him since he toured Brisbane’s facilities. And then tell him he’s staying in the room next door, “just knock if you need anything, see you at dinner I’ve reserved the table next to you”.

Not sure if I'd want Faulty doing our business for us.

I like your way of thinking. Do Ansett still fly to Queensland? Maybe I can use my points.

Brisbane train at Coorparoo which is about 5 mins from the Gabba but there was talk that they would have a new base in Springfield which is about 45min from the Gabba depending on traffic. 

So facilities may not be as different as we think. 

I’m sure a couple of years ago when all the players wanted to leave, they couldn’t attract free agents one of the major issues was the behind the times training and recovery facilities. Amazing how things turn around in a few years...

Nah, I'd present like one of you happy clapper AMWAY salesmen. Surely we'd be in the box seat then.

And if he didn't come our way, I'd revert to type and roll out the goon bottles and my sister-in-law.

Airlie Beach is a great place to live, but boy oh boy, that lagoon is a backpacker [censored] repository.

Would NEVER swim in it while I have a nice pool in my own back yard.

So since Thursday I have read the following on Elliot:
Thursday - coming to Dees
Friday - Mark Stevens says he is signing at the Pies and will be announced at their b&f
Saturday - multiple people saying he has signed at Brisbane
Sunday - staying at pies on 1.5m for 3 years. 
Does anyone really know or does everyone make stuff up?

I was given pretty reliable word early on he would stay with the Pies, but obviously I'm doubting that now after seeing him tour Brisbane.

People change their minds, or take a while to decide, just human nature.

I reckon he’s put a line through us. It was Brisbane until Collingwood upped their offer to three years. He’ll re-sign with Collingwood on a three year deal, bookmark it. 

No confirmation that Collingwood have upped their offer to three years.

Gut feel is he’ll stay at Collingwood because they have or they will up their offer to three years. I agree with DL that we were a pawn used by Elliott and his management to get an extra year out of Collingwood. It failed. 

Now the same tactic is being applied using Brisbane with his management upping the ante, this time cameras were on stand-by filming Elliott’s arrival and entering of Brisbane’s facilities. 

Elliott is a fan favourite, Eddie won’t let him leave.

I guess we will find out soon enough,

All just guess work until we hear from him.

What I will say is that we have been working on him for a while now, since last season, and Brisbane have only just come into the picture .

If he decides to leave Collingwood I still think we are a big chance.

In answer to a post where it was asked why it couldn’t happen, I posted the above as my first post, of many, though latterly just having a bit of fun. 

Deep down this has always been my belief in relation to Elliott, who is one of the Pies’ fans favourite players.

Happy to be proved wrong, but I feel they, the Elliott team, have used us and the Lions to get a better deal from the Pies.

We will soon know. "

Agree. Pies still favourites to retain him.  Lions would be probably ahead of Dees if he was leaving.  Mahoney didn’t seem too excited other than to say we have a 3 year offer. Maybe it’s just Elliotts management angles to push up the Pies to offer him 3 years.

    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

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

    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
