  • 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.

Farewell Oscar McDonald

Have I missed something. "He has been recruited by the Dockers. Good on him." doesn't seem dismissive.  What do you expect? A binman style 3 part 20 page narrative on why OMac got picked up.  

Yes, fair call.

I heard from a relative of Oscars that he has been offered a two year contract with Freo and he currently making plans to pack up and move over there as we speak. I wish him all the best. Apparen

Curious as to why OMc is being ridiculed here. Good luck big fella, hope you get to 100 games.

Does my head in. Especially when it’s a player who has moved on but who never screwed us over. The default should really be to wish him well.

Was a battler.

Foot skills were non-existent and it was always heart in mouth feeling anytime he was near the ball. 

He will get some games at Freo because they are a rabble. 

I have a memory of That Goal that Watts kicked against Collingwood.I think Oscar kicked or tapped the ball to Harmes who kicked it to Jack.

Am I feeling stupid.  Saw this thread and thought "Odd that's come up, where's the one for Marty Hore (insert internal LOL here)?".  Good luck to Oscar, he obviously likes playing by the beach.  Reckon Freo may be a bit nicer than Williamstown (no offence to the mighty Seagulls).

Good luck to Oscar, he looked to show some promise at Princes Park but was cut short by serious injury. Hopefully he has recovered and can give it another crack out West.

His back injury was pretty bad.

Had  stress fractures in his back for aprox 18 months which ultimately required spinal fusion surgery (after he left the afl system i think - certainly all the rehab was).

Impressive that he could get back to a level where he was named full back in the VFL team of the year and be picked up by an AFL club, particularly one that would be expecting to play finals next season.

Speaks about all that in this interview:

Apparently Brendan McCartney thought he was a potential AA defender.

I always thought he was under-rated by most Dee supporters.

Tall defenders are often the "whipping boy." Remember Alistair Nicholson?....he had a lot of detractors.

The classic was Kevin Walsh at Essendon. Their supporters game him real grief.

It was surprising that Omac was the best golfer in the club. The guy had unrecognised hand-eye co-ordination, that's for sure.

And straight into Freo's 22 for their first game. Good luck to him.

Game 87.

Will bring up his 100 games of AFL footy, an exclusive club, with only aprox 17.5% of all VFL/AFL players having achieved that milestone.

Life membership of the AFL too.

Good onya omac.

Give it a rest . He has probably worked harder than a lot of players . Good luck to him.

Besides he probably has more brains in his left foot than most of his perennial critics!!

The problem with OM is that he was gifted lots of games before he was ready & was never developed properly.

Our brains trust was annoyed with Lynden Dunn & dropped him for OM.

If Oscar had spent 2 or more years at Casey learning his trade he would have been handy for us.

In his early days he badly lacked the confidence that comes with experience.

Became a premiership player and represented the Big V when that meant something.

Hope he goes well, was once one of ours and left on good terms. Therefore I only wish him goodwill.

There are some classless posters on here and a few who are clearly trolling

It's a pitty he isn't still in the Red and Blue really, I think we could be a bit thin for KP backs if May gets injured and our young guys in development don't come through.  Wounder how long he has left on his Freo contract and if we could actually lure him back?

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
