    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 would take Hogan back in a heartbeat, trusting the club to nuture him. He was the closest to an A grader we had pre-max and Clayton's arrival  and can be again.

Hogan/Weideman/Jackson - scary IMO

Just a thought...

We’ve all seen the lack of connection between our midfield and forwards the last 2 years. Any chance Jesse had a reason to be upset, and actually helped cover over that glaring issue during his time at the club?

I’d love him back. We need natural competitors with skills.

yes, and plus he had a huge engine as a runner.

There may be an obvious answer to this question which escapes me right now, but who was the last player to leave Melbourne for another VFL/AFL club and then come back? Anyone since Carl Ditterich?

I appreciate that it happens rarely across the competition, although there have been some notable exceptions, such as G Ablett Jr, Paul Salmon, John Barnes and Trent Croad. But it's rare and, I suspect a guide to suggest that it won't happen this time, either.

I'd take him back.

Great when the ball is in his hands.

Nice kick, great turning ark, difficult to tackle, big ego.

He will always be upset with others not giving him the ball and can get lost for awhile.

I think he would try hard with us if given a chance. We dealt with the many issue he had fairly and sympathetically. 

Actually I think we need him.

Our forward line would be the WA boys, Pickett, Jackson, Hogan.

Hogan could settle them in to MFC so they don't get homesick and want to return west. Something like, the grass isn't greener or better support here, etcetera. 

PS. I'd also take back Watts. I'm invested in the players that we go through.

Watty would help Gawn out.

B, nearly A graders both of them.

Wow. Hogan and Watts back. That’s not lifting the intensity index. I’m after players that will walk across nails and hot coals to get a premiership

Heard that Collingwood were keen but can't for the life of me imagine how they could fit him in when they're struggling with Moore and Degoey's contracts as it is.

I'd take Jesse back, no problems.

Freo might pick up a chunk of his 2021 contract $ just free up a list spot for someone who can get on the park. 

Not sure Pies is a good place for his mental health.

Serious ? 

You guys are like the forgiving partners of a problem gambler who keeps promising to quit.

Jessie has been in the headlines again & again & barely played a game since he left us.

Sheeet we may as well re sign Jurrah & Mitch Clark while were at it

I chop and change:

I want him back when we're playing like a dumpster fire and battling to kick 4 goals a game against bottom 5 garbage sides.

I don't want him when we're up and about and look like a half decent side with a bit of forward potency - eg - 100 points V's Collingwood.

Would be a far better forward line than the one we’ve got atm

I agree with this  - going after/inviting Hoges back. He treated him well and we know what his best is capable of. 

T.Mac out, Hoges in.

He will take the pressure off Weides & Sky Walker and allow them to develop.

Also an interesting call with Watts. He loves /loved the MFC. If he was here now he would still be one of our best kicks. I except he's soft but an enormous talent. 

Both these guys would come cheap (Hoges not so much).

We then need to draft quick outsider runners - with great kicking skills.

    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

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
