  • 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.

Great to have Trac on board for the ride

Says to me there is some real belief amongst this group of young guns 

Hope they can achieve great things together - will be special for everyone

This afternoon the Club tabled an offer to CP that if accepted would essentially make him a Demon for life.  Stay alert as the offer is so attractive, we might get a prompt acceptance.

The 7 years is correct, however, the $900k per season is well off. Thanks for your support dazzledavey36, as you know from past history, when I post a breaking story it is 100% factual.

I’m not sure what’s funnier.. When Carlton fans thought they could get Oliver or when Tony Shaw thought they could get Petracca!!!

Not sure why anyone is worried about the money. We’ve signed all the pillars, unless we get done for cap breach, don’t worry about it. 
 

Jetta, Jones, Melksham, Hibbo, Tomald all on the way out. Kids like Kozzie and Jackson aren’t signing money deals until they’re at least 23. 
 

It’s an odd realisation I know, but we seem to know what we’re doing

Tom would be the only one on big coin in that group though.

Not that I'm worried. I actually think these early contracts might position us well for a crack at a free agent.

Hoping we were able to front load.

Now being reported that the deal is worth well over $1mil per year as was reported by @goodwindees. Where did the narrative that he wanted to leave some $$$ for his team mates come from, because earning that much cash is not going to help retain your LG, Kozzies, Rivers and other emerging stars in a few years time.

Unless there is some clever front/backloading being done here, i cant see how this was a team focused decision. 

Dont get me wrong, i am wrapped he has signed for 7 and he is well worth what he is getting paid - just questioning the narrative. 

Front loading a contract can sort that out. 
Tracc is a generational player. He deserves Top Dollar ? 

He is like RDB in the 1950’s

I honestly cannot believe what is happening this year.

If Trac had any doubts about our list, potential for success, coaching, facilities etc he would have only signed for 2 years. He is not signing just because we are 7-0.

It gives me good confidence we can win a flag in the next 5 years. Trac is such a competitor, no way he stays somewhere if he doesn't seriously believe they can be successful

I believe some of us (supporters) will have to be managed for Saturday night. Way too much excitement for this early in the week.

Well done MFC and Trac!

Tracc says in his interview on the MFC site that he has matured as a player and as a person.  So very true!  Not only a great player for us, but a great ambassador.

True, and he's the kind of player that other footballers want to play with - teammates will re-sign for less or come from other clubs to play with him. Let's put in in perspective - he could go down as one of our greatest ever.

Trac loves NBA and you see big name players moving all the time, so part of me was somewhat worried about his long term signature - but seeing him happy to be a 'one club player' fills me with joy. Onwards and Upwards Trac.

And then you have that clown Lebron jumping from super team to super team. 

He isn't fit to tie MJ's bootlaces.

Just to add a little clarity.  I believe the 7 year deal does not include 2022 which he was already contracted for.

They renegotiated next year and added 7 years on, so it is effectively a new 8 year deal starting 2022.

 

takes him to the end of 2029 where he will be 33 and in the last two years theres a player/coach option

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
