  • 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.

Dismissing Walker out of hand is silly in my view.  The reality is that Tmac, Brown, Brown and Weid are all mediocre talls and with Tmac's supposed foot injury our barrel is pretty empty.  BBB is eith

Anyone watching Tex today is gonna have to think twice about not wanting him at the dees. He’s destroying us… with some help from the umps. 

Ben Brown used to do the same. Hasn’t gotten a free kick since he’s been at Melbourne. 
At least he isn’t a [censored] human.

Our core business is winning at footy, with that in mind we have a need to get into bed with the Texan.

I disagree, from a business perspective our goal is to build our supporter base and thus our market share.

I can't see Tex bringing any supporters with him.

Bluey you are correct completely.  I'll barto is wrong. Let's get in board or into bed whichever is more fruitful with the Texan  and love him as one of our Demon youngsters if he improves our team.

Can confirm his Gran has put an offer in on a house in Cranbourne East. Make of this what you will. 

She wants to watch him train once a week at Casey Fields, and maybe play there also !!! 

Get her a bus to the G if Tex Makes  it at the Dees Plus a cheeseboard and the premiership Shiraz or the Demon Gin.

Geez, they still love him over there. Could be a culture killer for us though. If we did pick him up I'd live with it if I knew we could afford to drop him after the preliminary final so he couldn't win a premiership medal.

If it was anybody else playing this way, we would be begging to get him.

His football is very good, everything else leaves a bit to be desired - although I think he would be a long way from the only one acting in the way he is, just unfortunately all happened very publicly for him (Lever, indigenous boys etc)

Fail to see why he'd be a culture killer. The Hawks recruited a 20kg overweight Stewie Dew, and he was largely responsible for winning them a flag.

How are they comparable?

 

I see the allure of a Walker. But the intangibles really worry me within what this team has built. Do we ask the leaders to manage another DH? Honestly, ask me again in 3 months after watching this forward line…

Stewie Dew clearly didn't worry about his diet like a professional sportsman should.

Whilst you may not forgive Tex for his prior indiscretions, maybe the Melbourne players don't see themselves as perfect, and are more forgiving.

Would be very easy to get Walker into the Club. Just need to word the Contract very carefully. 
Any indiscretions and the deal is null and void. 
Ben Cousins lasted 2 years at Richmond, Walker isn’t at that level

Tex is a highly skilful player, I love watching him play regardless what most think of him outside footy. He’s played some great footy over the last couple of years. I’d gladly take him.

    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
