  • 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.

Are you hearing whispers? 
 

I Hope Please GIF

I'm hearing he's keen to stay. Settled in really well with the group.

Both WA clubs have sounded him out, but it's believed he will stay.

Smart move to not extend at this stage

“Flighty”. That’s a huge  call Nev!! In fact that’s a put down of a kid who has looked anything but !!!!

That requires a sauce to show your credibility 

I've said many times where I get most of my info.

You and your mates can't keep trying to question my credibility if you wish, not my problem.

There could be many reasons why he hasn't agreed to an extension yet. Only one being he is contemplating going home. I hope and pray that's not one of them.

You need to think things through a little more Nev. You are dismissive in saying it is "not your problem" , yet it was your choice to lay an unnecessary and unsupported slur on a young man.

If you're so sure about your info, why are you so defensive? You don't have to prove anything to anyone on the forums, or even post it really.

Uncle BBO I took that to mean he is flighty about whether he is going to stay or go. I don't think that's a slur if that is what was meant. I choose to hear what I want to hear and in this case I'm listening to Pennant St Dee and look forward to hearing about him signing an extension sooner than later. I know some might find that somewhat ironic given I mentioned someone else's observation that he hasn't signed an extension yet. BB won't let him go now anyway.

my mfcss says that until such a time that any player signs on the dotted line they're inevitably leaving and only after they sign an extension with us will they break down with a long-term crippling injury

we'll all be rooned, said hanrahan...

not sure whether to reply to this with a laughter or crying emoji

"Slur"...? Righto.

One day if you want to talk footy instead of always trying to have cracks at me; let me know.

Gross incompetence. Why hasn’t Ned Guy been sacked already?

I dont think those deals are just Neds doing. I think Eddie, Bucks etc are all in on the decisions.

If he gets the flick imo he will be made the scape goat.

Eddie and bucks should be shown the door to if Ned gets the flick.

It's not a lock. 'Flighty' was the word I heard that described where he's at. Not saying he's gone of course, but it's not totally safe.

I hope your info is wrong.

We ought to be livid at the club if Jackson wants to go home. Develop him for 2 years so West Coast can reap the benefits.

There were plenty of great VIC prospects available to us such as Serong, Young, Day etc... who were not flight risks.

I think the value gain we realised this trade period from recruiting then trading Preuss, the great deal we got for Hogan, and general trade craft recently, indicates if Luke decides to head West, then we’ll have a well developed strategy to ensure we improve our team in the process.

Why, that is a risk you take when drafting top end talent from other states.  You need to hope your program can keep them.  There would be no question the WCE would be chasing him as a replacement for Nic Nat.

The info wasn't that he was going, personally I think he's more likely to stay, it was more that it's not a lock just yet. The thing in our favour is that Yze is a fantastic communicator and relates really well to players from what I've heard, he's already working with a couple of them specifically, so I think his influence could make a big difference to our group.

And if we can perform consistently as a team for once in many many seasons that will help to. I cant remember a more important or critical season for our club.

No we need to start heading to the top with all these kids, this one is, if not the most important years in the clubs history.

No more #$&@ just get out there and win, win, win, we may stumble at times all clubs do, but 2021 is the time, we come back from all the hell over the last 56 years!

End of story from Ricky Nixon as he sums up the past coupla weeks -

Well done Western Bulldogs not only the big winners yesterday but also traded in an honest respectful manner unlike others .:..big flag chance 

Whilst everyone will bag Collingwood let’s let the ladder decide who’s right & wrong next season 

Geelong ridiculous deal which could haunt them for a long time 

Essendon tick
Melbourne tick tick 
Carlton tick 
Nth Melb tick 
Bris tick tick 
Port tick 
Adelaide tick 
StK tick & 1/2 

WCE Freo GCS GWS Syd backed their lists hence time will tell

Jackson has been at the club less than a year, with most of the season spent on the road in the hub. Let’s give him a chance to settle into some normality of life in Melbourne (fingers crossed), playing at the MCG week in week out, hopefully for a team playing finals. I’m almost certain he will extend if those things are true.

Jackson isn't going anywhere in the short term. like Jesse he'll get chased every single off season by both W.A clubs but so will Rivers and Kozzie. any half decent interstate player is going to deal with that most of their career. 

Everything i've heard about LJ is he's incredibly happy at the club, excited for the future and the club thinks we've got ourselves an incredible talent. 

I personally think LJ's first 4-5 years are going to be mostly flashes of brilliance with a gradual build in strength, fitness and consistency before absolutely exploding onto the scene and ripping a season apart. gotta keep expectations in check for the young man but he does look the goods

    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,
