  • 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.

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

Which picks are involved?

Given it's SEN (Hutchy) probably some sort of AFL aassistance package in excess of Norf's (although i doubt that will ever be beaten unless the Pies or Blues spent a few years down the bottom)

Jack Gunston wanting to return to Hawks, do we have a dabble at him?  Probably not with McAdam nominating us

Might have been a good get a couple of years ago when we were rumoured to have interest, but surely not now given his age and the McAdam trade 

Bizarre for him to be requesting a move back after only one year, will be curious to see whether the Hawks will take him back 🤔

Maybe Derwayne and Eddie can be added to the deal, to make it totally unlistenable.

Made me have a look whether this happened before. Apparently Justin Murphy played with Blues 2000, Cats for 2001 then back to Blues in 2002.

What’s our status of drafting atm on a fwd as to date not hearing much with all of our talls with ongoing injury issues.. all we have done is strengthened the Swans with Grundy & Jordan & they also got Adams, Harmes is gone also …who are our back up mids as we have  Gus with concussion issues & a well documented other one, understanding they have cleared a fair bit of cap space. With our fwd line consisting of brown, t Mac & petty all with injuries… let’s hope something is done

Yeah, happened a lot, was just more looking at a player that leaves their club, the next year plays for another club, then returns to their club after a year. Justin Murphy only player I found that has done that in the AFL era.

You’ve gotta be careful with these type of picks.

If successful, you gain a skill increase in lockpicking and 'Congratulations, your nose is now open'.

If your skill is too low, then there is a risk every time that you will give yourself a cerebral hemorrhage.

Make of it what you will.

No different to the 3rd pick we gave for Hunter.

Clubs are happy to act in good faith in these situations.

Yeah fair point. It shows how ridiculous the compensation picks are. Gresham in my opinion is a mid range player and they effectively get pick 20 for him. I'd argue a Hunter/Harmes type is worth pick 20-30 as well.

1. What a joke. 2. Harmes is just as good and 3. has a premiership medal. 

1. Yes.

2. Yes, but Graham has more years in him

3, Yes, but Graham doesn't want a premiership medal - not even interested in a finals.

    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,
