  • 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.

It is a complete no no for opposition list managers to state a player wants to leave a club. Even if they throw in "at some stage". Reid has no right to comment on an opposition player's 'desire' in this manner.

Demons will rightly be livid with this.

agreed

hopefully he gets a please explain letter from the afl

but i'm not holding my breath

i hope harry views it as a breach of privacy by afc and is rightly p****d off

Melbourne are now in the hunt for Adelaide stars* Darcy Fogarty and Mitch Hinge after Harrison Petty points out to them that the golf courses are MUCH better in Melbourne.

In the last 6 quarters Petty and van Rooyen played togather Melbourne scored 182 points and the two combined for 14 goals.

It's a small sample size, but encouraging nonetheless.  When they were mising as a pairing for the last 20 quarters of the season the team's score was a little more than half as good per quarter.

How many contested marks and marks inside 50? 🤔 guessing those stat would be very high

Is Petty’s head going to be in the game next year? Or will we be looking at a similar season to Luke Jackson’s in 2022? Judging by the 9news Adelaide interview that’s just come out, this guy is really keen to be back home. Not encouraging at all

Yeah did not sound convincing one bit. Definitely wants to get back home by the sounds of it.

Human side of me says we should just respect his wishes and just cash in now while we can.

I am coming round to this exactly. It will probably met us Harley Reid. Petty has mentally checked out by the sounds of that interview

Yeah really seemed excited for the next 2 years at the Dee's . 🤦

I believe his words where. The decision was made by Melbourne ( I took from it he may have been open to the trade) I'm happy to be on an AFL list, love MFC. Got 2 year contract. Open to being back  in Adelaide at some stage 😱

Fog and Petty went to school together and played state football as well. 

Only made the 3rd top story on Channel Nine news, Welcome to life in Adelaide.

Sounds like the sort of thing someone says, that gets quoted back to them after Jake and Harry carve up every defence in the comp. Providing they can stay fit, I think they could be a fantastic combination: both young, aggressive players who like a tackle, can mark and kick well.

I've definitely changed my mind set after this interview. I'm no longer counting on Petty being our long-term answer to our key forward needs. I am confident we can cover him as a key back... Turner, Tomlinson, Adams. I'm now on the 'get us another gun key forward' bandwagon!

    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,
