    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 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.

hardly 12 months. I think you'll find that the moment SIA get off their rear-ends and convene, that time served will be the punishment. We will impose 2 games like every other club. He is [censored] for doing it, but wasn't the first or will be the last to take recreational drugs in-season. 

I wouldn't be surprised if we went a bit harder on the club imposed suspension.

Think 4 AFL matches minimum.

How the actual [censored] does one have multiple broken ribs and maybe a broken vertebrae and only miss up to two games? 😳 If that was me I’d be out for 10-15 years.

That's a very small injury list.  Maybe this Selwyn bloke knows what he's doing. Adelaide, by comparison, now has four players out for the season.  I forget who their fitness guy is.

Its never a good time but to do it in pre-season seems so cruel. Couldn't see him playing next year. He will have to rehab essentially until March 2025.

And from memory he will be out of contract at the end of 2024. Its a 2 way street with contracts. Get injured and you could get shafted with a poor contract.

I understand that young Bailey has done extremely well in business venture and will not be sweating on a big contract to pay the rent, bread and milk post 2024.

Feel for the bloke, we've likely seen his last game.

Game Over Meme GIF by Travis

Surely he and club could've done the selfless thing, come to a financial agreement and retired. Who didn't see this coming? Won't play a game this year. Could've used his spot to select JVR's brother in the rookie draft but now he's training with Freo which could turn out a disaster for us, they know what they're doing ...

JVR, Petty and Fritsch will have to bear the goal scoring load this year. Any contribution we get from BB this year will be a bonus.

Whatever's happens, we'll always have 2021. BB was fantastic in the finals series.

Hang on I’m just ringing Schultz, Acres and Henry to see if they agree with you.

Plus Fullarton is available, Tom Mac is fit again, Verrall and Jefferson may be improvers, as may the smaller Seston and Schache is break glass.

Disco is another that could be tried up forward if we are desperate.

Ed Langdon anyone?!!

Jesse Hogan for pick 6 (which we used to get Steven May) was a great success for them too!

Stick a fork in him, he’s just about done I’m afraid.

Forward line is going to be a problem yet again this year.

Benny was restricted to only 7 games last year. Him not being there was not the issue.

Forward line only became a problem when we started losing the pieces towards the end of the year.
We were the highest scoring team for most of the season. 
In saying that I hope we haven’t seen the last of Benny.

On the bright side...

No, I can't quite find a bright side.

The most positive I can be is that he might be available and fresh late in the season, OR he will call it a day and we can pick up someone in the mid-season draft or even the pre-season supplementary which runs until mid Feb.

Does anyone have some clarity about the latest changes to the 'inactive list' because if Brown is out for 6 to 8 weeks we may actually be eligible to put him on the inactive list right away without him retiring, which would let us snap a SSP selection. Perhaps the junior Van Rooyen can be ours after all?

I can’t believe anyone here actually thought he would play a role this year. Cooked is a massive understatement. Brown, TMac and to a slightly lesser extent Schache are what are commonly referred to as list cloggers. 21 was a long time ago for mine so please don’t roll out the “They helped us a win a flag and deserve…..” Rubbish it’s a business and we’re not playing it hard enough atm. 
Jeez, I really got fired up!!

Admire the bloke's tenacity. Just a flesh wound! A 6-8 week rehab will see him cherry ripe for round 0.

I'm surprised theres such a strong reaction.

He signed a 4 year deal with a degenerative knee condition. A lot of us on here knew at the time that anything we got in the fourth year would be a bonus.

It was a shame that we couldn't get what we needed out of him last year when we needed it. 

He was a 200cm proven key forward who was available. He got a 4 year deal that we knew he probably wouldn't see out to the end. We got a kpf for a good price when we needed it. He was very important in 2021. Its worked out to be a pretty good deal for both parties.

He has had a fantastic career, he is a fantastic person.

Sad to see his body break down like this, hopefully he can retire on his own terms.

    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,
