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.

Melbourne is hogging the limelight but for all the wrong reasons with Clayton Oliver hogging the limelight.

• What would it take to get a deal done for Clayton Oliver? 

• Top 5 destinations for Clayton
Oliver 

• Josh Gabelich on the Port ruck situation

• Some murmurs on Melbourne's Harrison Petty

• Callum Mills and his off-season mishap

There has also been some talk about the trade value for Brodie Grundy with the pundits suggesting that his trade value has plummeted because Melbourne refused to pick him in the finals.

It's entirely possible the Club is letting this nonsense carry on as it might give Clayton a kick up the bum. 'no one is off limits for a trade'

Not saying its true but its possible. Almost what we did this with Watts a few years back before actually trading him. He was told to lose weight, commit to training etc etc

In the end they ran out of patience.

Well his trade value didn't go up by spending half the season at Casey. Media are just stating the obvious.

Naughton signing for $10M for 8 years makes JUH's contract negotiations next year interesting.

Some pundits rate JUH above Naughton

What!!  Has that been confirmed?

Thats insanity. The Bont wouldnt be on more than that. Wheres the money coming from for all the other 40 + players.

Naughton has yet to prove himself as a gun fwd. He kicks less than 2 goals a game... 11 points ave.

Considering Bulldogs always lose a bunch of games annually-including 2016 - and by middle to big margins hes not going to make the difference kicking 11 points. WTF.

Kane Cornes will blow a gasket.  LOL.

AFL clubs are run by idiots.

Another massive salary dump on the cards.

The Swans were the big movers today, landing Brodie Grundy and Taylor Adams in respective deals with Melbourne and Collingwood, plus Dylan Stephens is now a Roo after a busy day at the trade table for Sydney.

• Grundy is officially a Sydney player, joining the Swans from Melbourne. The Demons have received pick 46 in this year's draft as well as Sydney's second-round pick next year in exchange for sending the ruckman to the Harbour City.

• Sydney has added a hard edge to its midfield, completing a deal with Collingwood to land Magpies vice-captain Taylor Adams, with the deal going through in exchange for pick No.33.

• Stephens has joined North Melbourne in a trade whereby the Swans also parted with pick 25 and received North's end of first-round pick next year plus its pick 44 this year.

• Zac Fisher is heading to the Roos along with pick 17 and the Blues get picks 21 & 25 in return.

• in a massive trade, Melbourne trades picks 14, 27 and 35 in exchange for pick 11. In the trade, Adelaide will land Gold Coast’s Chris Burgess and pick 14 in exchange for picks 23 and 26, North Melbourne will get pick 18 in exchange for an end of 2004 first round pick, Gold Coast gets picks 23, 26, 27, 35 and an end of 2004 first round pick for picks 11, 18 and  Burgess.

This second point

Fremantle with 3 first rounders of 2024

they must be serious about something next year.   Is there a number one next year from the west or someone going home?

And can we benefit ?

a long time to look ahead I know

but it’s contemplating time

Acquiring assets to facilitate a fair trade isn't really Peter Bell's MO, but the two big WA names that come to mind are Logan McDonald and Tim English.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
