  • 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.

Rest easy DD.  It is just about done.  They’re just sorting a couple of points with the Dees. There is no other Club as a spoiler, just working through some small operational t’s & c’s with the Cl

Will NOT get a scrap of work done today. Nothing productive, all day, nothing. Soz, clients, but KOZZY HAS RE-SIGNED! Everything else will just have to wait until tomorrow.

I’m whooping and crying like a crazy person and my son just asked me why I was so happy and did I just win Tattslotto. I said, “Better than that.. KOZZY’S RE-SIGNED!!!” He said “What’s a ‘Kozzie’.” 😂😂😂 Bless his ignorant lil heart!

Great news... his development physically (Look at him now)  and experiences is really clicking this year.  He has become such a dangerous player over the whole field, not jus in the fwd half.

Given how young is still is and talented, the future is bright as he makes such a difference to the dynamic nature of our side.

I didn’t realise it was King's Birthday round coming up already!

I can't begin to say how wrapped i am about this. I just love watching him play footy so, so much.

Already one of my all-time favourite dee's player, only one demon player is ahead of him for me in terms of just loving watching him play, and that's the Wiz - and now he is dee moving forward i'm sure in time i won't be able to split them

Big, big tick to the footy club for how they have managed this situation - and all the other recent big contract negotiations, including Jackson’s - which by the by is increasingly looking like pure genius.

They have locked away not only our best players, but heart and soul players.

Salem, Maxy, Trac, Oliver, Gus, Lever, Petty, Nibbler, Viney, May, Fritter and now Kozzie all locked in (not sure where langers is at contract wise).

Add Rivers, Mcvee and Sparrow all recently resigning and Grundy and Hunter being in the first year of multiyear contracts and we are in fantastic shape list wise.

That is all down to the off field team and is yet another reminder that sustainable on field success is not possible without quality governance and management systems.

Going off the statement it seems like the club involved his family a fair bit in this process which is very professional from the footy club. So kudos to them!

 

And also, culturally appropriate to involve Aboriginal player's families in such discussions and processes (assuming that is ok with said player).

The importance of involving family when negotiation with Aboriginal players (again, with their permission) is reflected in this quote from Kossie:

“The club has embraced me and my family, and I can’t thank them enough for their support. Everything I do is to make my family proud and the respect and understanding my teammates and coaches have shown us means a lot."

Great news. Wouldnt be surprised if his game picks up too now he has no distractions.

Cornes will swing his attention onto the coaches and who will get sacked  first.

He'll stick his fork into someone for sure.

I've never been prouder of this footy club, keeping a list together let alone a successful list is no mean feat. 

In the past there was always that one or two that had to be sacrificed when we thought we had something building. For the first time ever we have literally lined up all our crucial ducks in a row and got them locked away for years to come. This is an extremely rare position to be in and I can't thank Lamb and co enough for the brilliant work they do behind the scenes to make it happen. Drink it all in people!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
