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

Couldn't help feel a bit sad for the whole saga when i saw how happy Dogga was when we won on Saturday night, you cant question his buy in, it just seems a shame that this is happening.

He seems pretty invested imo.

I genuinely think he hasn't made up his mind and is leaving all the contract talks until the season is finished.

I'd be disappointed if he left, but would understand wholeheartedly as well. We'll get compensated well, but it's still a big loss.

Thought he was good on the weekend. Took some good clunks and was unlucky not to hit the scoreboard.

Whether we like it or not and bias aside, it is a massive thing to have on your shoulders right now. It has to be extremely tough for him at the minute. 

Some of those marks came at very important times.

Yes, he did play well on the weekend, and clearly his best game since the Brisbane win.

Full credit to him. Hopefully he'll play career best footy  in the next 5 weeks.

For a guy who has supposedly already signed a deal with Freo, he seems pretty invested. Was braving the wet at Casey to watch the VFL boys play, has been posting pics of the win on his Insta... I don't know, something doesn't add up.

He could possibly have just 2 games left with the MFC, but he isn't acting like someone who has already checked out.

I'd happily lose Jackson if it makes us more likely to win another flag or 2 in the near future.

It's all about the flags and nothing else.

I feel sorry for you.

Fine, but do you know how much money his manager stands to make from this?

People keep going on about camaraderie, team spirit, personal enjoyment & fulfillment and other airy-fairy things.

God help us (make lots of money).

And I mean a Jackson trade would be all about what it will mean to our flag push. I'd only be getting worked up if we were losing him for nothing.

I'm with faulty on this issue.  Each year there is one winner and 17 also-rans.

Winning premierships is the ultimate measure of real success.  We're not here to [censored] spiders.

Why's that WCW? Yes we shouldn't forget the contributions that players have made but is it unreasonable to put the club first above any emotional attachments and continue with our desire to win?

I feel sorry for someone who rates a flag as the only “something” to be satisfied with and who doesn’t rate anything short of that. 
My comment has nothing even remotely close to the Dogga issue. Nor is it an emotion-based comment. 
I genuinely feel sorry for any Dees fan who has the “Flag or Bust” mentality.

Yeah for sure, you don't want the bar of success and happiness that high. I will still see this an an enjoyable season if we don't win it. 

Sometimes absolute phrases aren't meant to be absolute. Not putting words in anyone's mouth but it does happen.

Geez you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t!

Too many times ppl misquote or misinterpret or read between the lines of other people’s comments. And they’re taken to task for it.

So I quote him verbatim, and with zero ambiguity and I’m likewise having to explain. 
He said “it’s all about flags and nothing else” which I took to mean it’s all about flags and nothing else, ergo I feel sorry for him.

Yes he did play well, all game, and its good to see at least a few posters here recognise it. He is still just 20. If he goes, it will be a huge loss, make no mistake - especially with a no 1 ruckman much closer to the end than the beginning. The club well understands  this.

I've just phoned the club and asked if the boys could wear the redback jumper this week in a gesture of support.

One would assume that @Webber might have something to say about this.

One would assume that. Unless told otherwise, perhaps [censored] spiders may be the best way to recover from not winning the flag…

    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
