  • 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.

It’s a no from me. We moved him on due to culture and work ethic issues. He was much loved by the demons supporters and his teammates. But he’s not coming back. We didn’t develop him properly but not sure he really ever had the commitment either. 

Give me a break

Bleat Bleat Bleat

He still is much loved by all - what's wrong with this idea? It would lift morale

But, alas, some leaders are not prepared to admit that they got it wrong or show their vulnerability

B and Fs don't excite me from the MFC, jnr  :)

Ha ha what a joke.

He came 21st in the B&F at his first year at Port.

He's a superstar. But a true measurement by his club over a prolonged period and you choose to ignore the results.

You are Jack Watts.

Wouldn't lift my morale in fact it would have the opposite effect.

Jack's happy lets leave it at that.

Please point this out where in any form have I remotely mentioned that we are a destination club?

Our club cares a lot about Jack the footballer but Jack the person. But when you are 27 years old and 150 games of experience and still getting a serve to work hard and put in then that says to me a lack of dedication from Jack.

He's goes to Port Adelaide a year after and this so called club that cares about him also drops him due to poor form. Funny that?

You're embarrassing yourself. Good for [censored] and giggles, but I'd stop ahead if I was you.

Ordinary footballer who was as soft as butter. Good luck though. That's where it stops.

 

You obviously know nothing about what it takes to be a good footballer. I would suggest that you have never played the game.....

but, you are entitled to your opinion, just as I am.

To suggest that Jack Watts is an ordinary footballer is evidence of my comment above & the only only person embarrassing themselves, unfortunately, is you.

Have played at SANFL level under former demon Clay Sampson who was our coach at the time at South Adelaide Panthers.

Ok can you give me a list of achievements from Jacks career? Was ordinary a harsh word? Yes and no, handy at times when he feels like, but is far too inconsistent and shows the occasional glimpse.

* Can't find it with Titanic theme anymore :(

 

Titanic theme was Hannan in 2018.

Watching it back, he clearly could have passed it instead of going for the lower percentage option himself. Ran hard in that instance cos he was ‘on’; if only he ran hard all the time regardless.

Definite no for me.

We all know that Jack hasn't won any B & F's or hasn't been included in any All Australians etc so his personal accomplishments resume would be blank, however, he has achieved a lot more thank probably all that choose to make any comment about his talent & ability etc.

174 AFL games..... not bad for an ordinary footballer.

He was good for the MFC most of the time & on occassions, elite..... especially with his disposal & he could run all day.

Still cant believe that in a team that has been searching for elite disposal for years that Goodwin just gets rid of Jack.

Again only my opinion. Sorry to go on gents but I do enjoy the discussion.

From what Mahoney said at the time of trade it seems he hen wasn’t a good influence on the group. I looked for the article recently but couldn’t find it. From what Mahoney said it’d be a fair old back flip to get him back.

But, that's okay, too

We all make mistakes

Imagine the media frenzy, the hype, the excitement, the anguish, the members signing up!!

The Club's vanilla atm

    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
