Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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 Luke Jackson

Way over rated right now, if we can get 2 first rounders we should run for the hills.

Use one on Mac Andrew and the other for our midfield depth. We fall off a cliff with Oliver and Petracca neutralised and need more talent in the guts. 

His contract situation is a distraction and impacting his form. He should sign up and focus on his footy

I agree with you. West Coast number 1 pick sounds nice.

Thanks Werribee. Agree pick 1 is exactly what we need right now. Midfield was putrid with sick Petracca and Oliver tagged.

First post since the season began. Fifth post since we were behind in the Grand Final.

Honestly, the worst thing about a loss is seeing people like olisik return. 

Congrats mate, you can count to 5. Well done :)

He's always with us he's Picket when we win and Olisik when we lose. Jackson will only be a run of the mill ruckman made to look good by Gawn make him a CHF and leave him there.

His Chris Dawes mark 2 in the air right now. Cement hands, one of the reasons we lost today was the 4 to 15 contest marks by the 3rd quarter. To think his trying to hold us to random on his contract, either sign up or [censored] off I say.


Take 2 first rounders to the bank, we see time and time again teams picking up ruckman on the cheap, it’s about time we did it.

Sorry but can you fug off? Haven’t seen you around once since we won the flag and went on a 10 game winning streak. We lose one game and here you are like a bad smell.

Look the kid is 20, he is coming off a season where he won a premiership and played the game of his life in the grand final. The following year is always the hardest to back up but yes he seems to have lost a bit of his magic. His marking hasn't really been there and his tap work has lacked a bit of polish, but I'm sure he's working on t.

Is he worth a million, no way and if west coast or freo are dumb enough to do it then good on him, let him go. I don't want to lose a young and up coming player because we can't fit him in our cap. 

But I'm sure Luke and the club will hopefully come to some arrangement.

Guys, I can tell you that right now the Club is not overly confident that Luke will re-sign. Personally, I assumed Luke would certainly stay for 2/3 more years of fun, before even considering a move, however, that is far from certain.  I can tell you that the absolute appropriate person within the footy Club told me today that they are only mildly confident that he’ll stay.

I was thinking today if we had to lose one o Jackson or Brayshaw i'd nearly rather lose Jackson, as talented as he is Brayshaw has become a legitimate star and so important to our culture.

If that's your opinion WD then why haven't you dropped Dogga in any of your missing Team Selections that have disappeared. 
Obviously  you haven't watched the GF the North game in Tas and at least 2/3 other games when Jacko has been the start of our comeback to win games. Oh and his 2 blinders vs West Coast. 

Yes LJ could play CHF for a role in running around the forward line but not all day. He is best released and is a match winner on the ruck/mid role. 

He needs to start solving his career issues ( if he has decided or not) and magically his good form will return.

Remember  the D/Lers who wanted to clear Clarry Trac and others when they were not happy where the Club was well this is the same  The grass  in the draft is always greener!! It isn't really only if you get the picks right or you can trade intelligently.

At the start of the year I would have said the opposite and wanted Jackson to stay with Gus leaving.

Now it's me wanting Gus to desperately stay. Not only is he in great form but he's super important for our culture and leadership.

@JimmyGadson made a really good point few weeks back. Losing Jackson isn't exactly going to be a significant loss as some may think. Yes I'll be disappointed if he leaves, but it gives me greater confidence assurance that Jason Taylor will find another top end talent with the compensation pick we get (1st rounder).

To stay around the mark we need to continue to find ways to regenerate the list with top end talent. Personally I think a gun midfielder or another key position tall forward would be my number 1 priority.

Losing Jackson would definitely set us back development wise. We’d need to start development of Gawn’s heir from scratch. Whoever that player may be isn’t even on the list yet; the only other ruckman in the list is 31 year old Majak Daw.

See I beg to differ.

Losing Jackson wouldn't be ideal, but I don't think it would set us back significantly as some may think. 

Gawn is contracted until 2025. If we were to recruit another ruckman through the draft or trade whoever that is, still has 3 years to develop under Gawny. 

The way i look at it is this;

Geelong lost GAJ at the end of 2010 and they went on to win a flag the next year.

Hawthorn lost Buddy after the 2013 flag and they went on to 2 more flags without him.

I highly doubt it'll set the club back because I would back Jason Taylor and Tim Lamb to make the right choice with from list management point of view.

How is the 'situation' impacting his form?

Good morning EO. Did you go to the game with your 6yo?

Dogga is wrestling with a decision to stay or go. It’s a big life decision. Consumes energy. If subconsciously (or indeed consciously) he’s not fully committed, then very difficult to be at your best

I think signing and committing can only be a good thing for his form

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
