  • 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.

On grand final day, he won't care. He'll just get the ball and get the ball and keep doing that until we win.

One of the worst decisions ever made by the MFC.  He should have NEVER been traded.  Disgusting decision.

I pity anyone trying to get between Clayton Oliver and a premiership on grand final day.

Interesting story about how we recruited him and how he worked hard on his game to become a Brownlow Medalist and then how we lost him due to financial and salary cap issues. 

It never seemed right to me that he played out his career at Collingwood.

Brief mention of his family but not of the fact that Taj could be in the AFL system next year.

I had forgotten Woey went off with a hammy in the 2000 GF.

Essendon were the best team all year but we had Whelan miss through injury, Brad Green get punched in the throat by that thug Wallace and Woey do a hammy.

They were young at the time but all the best players of a generation at Melbourne.

At least if someone punches Oliver or Petracca this year they will cop it back harder.

Not so sure.

Petracca is no hard man, and every time someone beats Oliver in a physical contest he throws himself on the ground pretending to spew.

I love his contest, don't get me wrong. And he is definitely not soft. I just would not characterize him as someone who will belt a bloke back for whacking him.

Never had respect after that, at all for the thug that did that, before he was a very good footballer. No respect for him or his causes after that. Tainted !

I didn't mean if a thug like Wallace hit Petracca in this finals series Petracca would hit him back. But whoever did will have it coming back to them. Viney is sharpening his elbow with pool chaulk at the moment.

Oliver is 21 votes off the most coaches votes ever with 3 games to go. I don't think that's from throwing himself on the ground and pretending to spew.

Watching closely, I reckon Oliver gets a lot of whack's all day long, many in the guts and ribs.

In a physical contest he goes in hard. When hit off the ball cheaply and unexpectedly, I'm not concerned if he does go down.

Terrible! Particularly after the handshake agreement to take less money 

I haven't read/heard anything recently; my recollection was that they asked him to take less money, he said no, they organised a trade, then he called up and said "I would have taken less money if you needed!" but they considered it too late. I'd be interested to know the other story?

Viney, Maysie, Hibbo can be real confrontational add Vanders into the equation would send shivers down spines in September.

Vanders might be a sneaky chance to cause some carnage at the backend of the season.

It would have been great to sit in the middle of the Pies cheer squad listening to the toothless wonders screaming out. " Go Woey !!!!!!! "

Bern saying this about Viney all year perfect for finals and the GF dance.

He spoke about it on the interview yesterday. He went over to Danihers house and they asked him to take less which he agreed to on a handshake agreement.  He then got a call a week later from his manager saying he was being traded

Off topic but mentioned within the thread…..

One of the things that will take Petracca’s game to the next level is a touch of mongrel. Not of course intentionally smacking someone but rather using his size to run in straight lines and take a few casualties, tackle super hard or angrily remonstrate if a team mate goes down unfairly. That earns onfield respect and makes opposition players a bit wary.

I cringe when I see him all buddy buddy and smiling with oppo players during a match. Fire up son! Save the niceties for after the game.

The treatment of Woey was a culture killer, I’ve got no doubt about that. It has shades of what the Pies have don’t to Trelor, but even worse was the way we went about it. No class at all from us.

    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
