  • 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.

Petts so important to this teams success. He's looking like the best key forward we've had since Hogan

Yes, he's looked great up forward but it's only a few matches, a tiny sample size. We would need to see how he goes over the longer term, and in particular how he goes once opposition clubs start working him out and putting some time into him both onfield and in how they prepare for him.

Still, would hate to lose him.

Petty isnt going anywhere  $1m or $50m its irrelevant. Petty is contracted till end of 2025 season.

Petty hasnt said anything publicly has he? Sick of the crows trying to poach our contracted key players.

Lets try and poach Walker. See how they like it.

Dont want McAdam anymore.

Dont want any ex Crows polluting our club. Hes an ordinary player anyway.

Melbourne better not get sucked in by Pettys greasy manager and pay massive overs beyond '25. Bulldogs panicked bigtime with Naughton possibly going to the Swans.

Petty could break down again which will dramatically affect his value.

If Essendon pay McKay $800 the Petty should be on $1.6M 

That was pure good old tampering. Norf gets their ridiculous compensation while Essendon keeps their high draft pick (they have enough cap space to offer this ridiculous amount of money to the "bad" McKay).

I've wanted to not believe it because i love Petts, but this has been bubbling in the background for over a month.

1m a year we can't compete with that, i reckon he's as good as gone.

#FML

Firstly we can compete with that. We have plenty of cap space. Secondly he is contracted. He cannot be “gone” unless we choose to trade him.

Based off absolutely nothing, I think this is Pettys manager trying to get a better deal for Petty at the Dees. Melbourne isnt trading Petty this year. And if we dont trade him I suspect a contract extension announcement will be happening before Kings Birthday next year.

What has become apparent over the last couple of days, is how little people in the media know about Harrison Petty's ability. 

Barrett and Dal Santo talking as if he's some unproven rookie. Laughable.

There is a reason the Crows (who have notoriously underpaid for players in the past) have tabled such a big contract in front of Petty.

Must keep.

Must keep our core premiership team at all cost.

We have only lost Harmes and Jackson so far. Harmes unfortunately was no longer required and Jackson abandoned ship.

Sadly I have to agree with you, there’s too much smoke to be nothing….

when playing, he’s one of my favourites.  Will be a massive loss.

That's what im affraid of, I've been afraid of this day coming since 2021.

Out of all of our players he is the one they are creaming over.

(Plus Clarry😂)

I mentioned it when it came up to start with, this is all driven by his management, who ever is in charge he has been driving it along with that slime ball Justin Reid.

Don't get me wrong I'm not happy with this, i will be contacting the club via email like i did with Clarry's situation.

I encourage my fellow demonlanders to do the same.

    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,
