  • 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.

Lobb is worth a third rounder. Off to the Dogs anyway.

Disagree. If he played for a VIC based team he would get alot more kudos. Very good player imo

Just having a post round chin wag with mates on Whatsapp, and I said that Jackson will take over the mantle from Brodie Grundy as the most overpaid player in the AFL next year. One of my mates who is a real estate agent in Perth posted a picture of a house that sold for $1.74m, and the own is Luke Stephen Jackson. He said that Jacko bought the house for his mum. 

Now that doesn't confirm that Jacko will leave, but my mate also added that Jacko's mum had mentioned to a guy in his office that Jacko will return to Perth. Again, no guarantee that he'll return next year, but will at some time.

I won't upload the pic because it's too intrusive on the Jackson family.

Where’s Steve going to live?

Except that Luke's middle name isn't Stephen.

Nah sorry I got nothing at all to back that up!

Not going to lie I find it hard to get enthused about watching Luke play of late. It’s a strange feeling.


He's probably gone but that's in October. In the meantime we still have a flag to win so I don't feel any less enthusiastic watching him play.

With all this talk of 198cm Bliclavs taking out Petracca & Cripps in successive weeks. I was thinking perhaps if we meet Geelong again, we can try a tactical shift of the 199cm ruck rover Dogga on Bliclavs, Gawn in ruck, Viney/Oliver in tight. Petracca up forward. If TMAC can get back then it won't make us deficient for size up forward either.

To a club in the Window that needs a proven tall I'd say early 2nd round. 

Wrong far too low. Remember a First around No3 Draft Pick who won the Rising Star  and turned games in his first season inc. the Grand Final. Have you forgotten last year.

Is  a Premiership player and ability at his age is far in advance log other 20yo ruck recruits.

Although  he has not had quite the impact this year he has had a solid season and by his nature contributes to the team as a whole, 

Still the best 20 yo ruck now and potentially also forward.

Deserve a Top 10 pick say 8-10 at least.as compensation plus a player Logue would be my choice for his versatility and key position attributes.

You know the above discussion was about Rory Lobb? 😮

Kudos to the bloke in the crowd in Alice who was yelling into the effects mic “SIGN THE CONTRACT, LUUUUKE”

But did he say which contract?

Luke has a crack, I thought he had a real go on Sunday. Sadly, his output is not as great as we need. He was really good against the Lions. Then his knee injury and the last couple weeks, like Gawn have been clearly hampered a bit. 

But he is more gone than Max is Gawn. Its not about him staying, its about what we get now. One thing I am confident in is that Luke will give his all until there are no more games, and I think his impact in September will be great, So I am behind him, I have been through the stages , denial, wrath, sadness.. now its acceptance.. He is a Dee until he isn't.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
