  • 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.

Trade: Bruce + Jamar = B.Stanton (Essendon)

Also, McLean + Jones for the return of Heffernan :rolleyes:

If I could choose anyone to come to Melbourne, I'd go with Jonathan Brown, but that is probably because he is my favourite player (outside of Melbourne). I am well aware that his body is suspect, and that Pavlich is a better long-term investment.

Oh, the thought of Jonathan Brown in a Melbourne jumper is spine-tingling :wub:

We will never be able to afford either of these players. The trade demands for either will be off the planet. Not to mention the amount of cap space needed.

The only way we will get either of these players is if we finish last and one of these players walks out of their respective clubs. This is unlikely as both are happy at their clubs and Richmond are WAY TOO horrible to finish on top of us!

Top players have changed clubs before though.

A major factor in trading value is whether the player wants to stay with their current club or not. As soon as they decide time's up, the demands their current club can make come back to earth ... in the end bidding competition from other clubs will determine the result, not simply what they ask for.

And it's not as though clubs haven't been held over a barrel before with the threat of pre-season draft nomination.

U cant be serious Bruce + Jamar = B.Stanton

No way would I trade Bruce. If Only Daniher had the luxury to leave him in the middle all the time.

We will have to agree to disagree on that. Stanton is a great player...as is bruce but i dont see bruce getting any better and i think stanton will be as good as him, while still being younger. The bommers prob wont trade him...we need ash to have his opinion but there are not many players on the list that will be either traded or wanted (eg Coghlan)

Im curious to see, does anyone see anything in Kepler Bradley. A very low pick (somewhere in the 10 if i remember correctly) and could be good down back to replace dusty. Bad bit about him is his pace (which is medioka but not terrible either) and his kicking/

When will you people realise Bruce's value? He's got close to the best engine in the league, can run with and negate playmakers like Judd and Hird, gathers possessions like they're autumn leaves, and can mark and play forward.

Sorry ... you want to trade Bruce for someone whose best position is on the interchange bench? :wacko:

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    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
