  • 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.

Salem was not flash on the weekend but he’s been very good since his return.

Salem>ANB every day of the week

Why are we comparing Salem to ANB?

It's like comparing Steven May with Kozzy Pickett. 

Salem is a half backer that we use off the back of stoppages as a quarterback and to reset and maintain possession.

ANB is a speed forward that essentially plays a high forward role between A50 and D50, and helps us defend right across the ground and then lock the ball inside A50.

Ridiculous...

I don't subscribe to the views of @JimmyGadson, @fr_ap and @dazzledavey36. If we had lost our finals by 5 goals each there would be serious cause for concern.  But we didn't and the majority unde

Guys, I can let you know that the lifestyle story around Grundy to Sydney is not quite correct. More accurately is that Longmire impressed far more than Hinkley and the two 23 year olds Ken brought to

You might find this interesting because at this stage I don’t believe the media even know about it. As strange as it seems, Taylor Adams from the Pies has contacted the Swans himself to discuss t

I hope we're having a serious look at Dylan stephens, classy mid, former top 5 pick, could immediately add something to our side. given the Swans interest in Brodie Grundy i wouldn't be against a swap occuring there.

He's got the ability to play inside/outside but has mainly played outside given the Swans inside quality. i expect he'd do something similar with us

How many heart and soul players does a team have? I dont class Salem as one of them and his 2023 has been poor after a middling injury impacted 2022. We have others for the role on lesser $$$. I would not say he cant be traded at the right price. 

LRedFE 

So we trade because we have about 5 players able to take Salo's spot (not necessarily his style of game either) and are about $2/300,000 less st this stage of their career. 

To say Salo has been poor this year is grossly wrong. He was down last week in disposal and composure, his two greatest assets. His season has been good, not great as in 2021.

We don't get rid of either ANB or Salo and as has been stated both play different roles. ANB is in rare form (career best) finishing his work with goals and I am backing Christian to return to his proficient and classy best.

His last 3 weeks have been mediocre. Not comparing the two players as they play different roles and would also have different values in market. Not saying I would trade him but he is not “Heart and Soul” and is tradeable at the right price.

Nth will get pick 3 as compensation for McKay 

I disagree. There was nothing more stage managed this year by the AFL than the Hawthorn controversy.

Suddenly Hawthorn started winning games (stopped tanking) and Clarkson was shuffled out the side door just before a milestone game… to predictably return several weeks later.

AFL won’t give North pick 3. I’m sure.

Too much interference/management by them this year. It’ll be end of first round, at best.

Hawny for Gawny's rebuttal:

Yeo - would have to take a paycut

Liam Ryan -  too expensive (Max would have PTSD too much)

Jeremy McGovern - No

Todd - Grundy isn't working? lets get an older slower version!

Mabior - Chose to go home and is probably on some decent cash but I don't hate it.

What he said.   And re McGovern (190/96), we need to go to the draft for a gorilla in training to replace May.   Unless a team needs a salary dump. Turner and co. are rather slight.

So you don't want to improve the squad, Salem could not kick the pill 40 metres when having a shot for goal, dinky little kicks and handballs over his head he is not the player he was, but it's a fact to get more players in you have to move players out it's a business now, I would prefer to have a reserves team included but that's not going to happen.

Just let the kids grow .......they will fill out and be terrific if managed properly. We have been spoilt with the young people we have brought along over the last few years : i.e. Bowey (Salem Jnr), Rivers ("Daniel RIoli "  Jnr), Jarrod McVee ( Tony Hardiman Jnr), Van Royen (Jonathan Brown Jnr), Sparrow (Viney's Love child ) , Kozzie (Jnr Wizz) , Spargs and Chandler plus Wowo Jnr. And that is just the ones I know about !!!

All is good in the village !!!

yeh, but north would match the offer and force it to a trade at which point dons might back out entirely as they would no longer be giving up nothing and then maybe brings other clubs into play for him

re stephens, brayshaw or rivers could play more onball and he slots in it could work.

similarly on the salem chat, i dont think he's irreplaceable, hes 28 which is prime but he doesnt really change games the same way he used to and as others have mentioned we have a younger core back there who are offering as much already say we add stephens to that too and if a club came with the right picks i think we'd weigh it up. i;m not saying we'd force a converation or he'd be looking around but sometimes things just happen and just work and down the line this could be one, or maybe he gets to 33 like hibbo and becomes a super grunty shut down deeper option who knows what the future holds

    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
