  • 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.

Allir allir off to the Dogs I’m hearing 

If that’s true, then they need a key back badly. Actually they needed another this year. Tom and Oscar could be useful to them and Tom also at the Bombers as Hurley might leave and is nearly done. The Giants also need A key back and even the Crows with Hartigan leaving. In summary their should be a few clubs interested in Tom.

If you’re asking questions and want serious answers, might I suggest that you don’t ask on a strictly rumour thread.

It’s fairly good mail @Unleash Hell.  Haven’t heard heard about Brodie Smith.  Brisbane have said that anyone outside of their finals 22 is up for grabs. 
Phillips from the Pies is on a good pay packet, so this one will be interesting.  T Mac not getting a lot of love due to his wage which I think is fairly common knowledge.

• Seb Ross – Was reportedly spotted touring Essendon’s facilities despite having a year to run on his contract talks going around St Kilda looks set to offload him to make room in the cap for Crouch. That’s huge for Essendon if Seb Ross does decide to nominate them.

• Tim Taranto after being strongly linked by St Kilda talks he will stay GWS.

• Cyril Rioli – Rumours continue to abound that the mercurial small forward can be coaxed out of retirement to Gold Coast after he was spotted catching up with GCS Coach just recently although I’m lead to believe it’s to do with and assistant coaching role not playing so calm down just calm down everyone

I know Ricky is a [censored] of the highest order but god i hope we are throwing the kitchen sink at Menegola.

I rekon BB is a done deal

TMac is interesting, i am still amazed anyone would trade for him with what he is contracted for.... but stranger things have happened.

 

Most of it is fluff as Ricky is a born salesman, but that Menegola rumour has me very excited.

So 3½ years then? ?

Yes it’s 3 years with performance based trigger to get 4th year. That’s about right.  I was very nervous about a 5 year deal.  

Need to reserve 5 year deals for gun mids like JV, Clarry and Trac.  

End 2021 - Clarry gets 5 year deal, Salem gets 4 year deal, Maxy gets 3 year deal.

For those interested I am hearing that we’d be very keen to have a chat to Adam treloar. If the pies are willing to pay a decent chunk of his salary we’d see him as a fit on the opposite wing to Langdon. 

It has been reported that Buckley told Treloar that senior Filth players wanted him gone, so it seems like he will go somewhere. Hard to see how the Pies get someone to pay his contract and get good picks given they have severed the relationship.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
