  • 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.


Geelong Sets Sights on Oliver

Agree PF! Our midfield gets really shallow of elite talent if we let Clarry go in addition to the retirement of Brayshaw 

Geelong will argue he is only worth a second round pick to due to the off field issues. 

Would be staring at a full scale rebuild if we lost Petty and Oliver at the end of this year. We need to get aggressive at the trade table ourselves I feel.

Get ur kitty litter paws of Clarry 😡

 

Also know as clubs put 100 names on a whiteboard to discuss/monitor and Oliver is one of the 100. 

I noticed the Jay Z had a new show start last night and broke the "story" on the show. I suppose they needed something to talk about and get people to tune in next week.

Said in the other thread that got shut down. Highly doubtful he goes. The only way he does, is if he is pushed out by Melbourne. I cannot see him initiating the move himself. In either case, you can't seeing us getting more than a first round pick for him given the circumstances.

Rather give him away to West Coast than see him in a Geelong jumper.

A glaring issue in our list has been, for many years, quality ball users in our midfeild. That then amplifies our issue of having no elite power forward. 

Love Clarry, he is a generational player. But if letting him go would fix the issues above then of course we should entertain it.

He’s too young to go to Geeelong and still has six years left on his contract with us plus he is very close to Tracc and Max. Click bait, media are still grasping at straws  to get people to read their rubbish.

I wonder why I hate Geelong so much. We would probably have sold him a few months ago but no one was interested. So Melbourne do the right thing and stick by him to see if he can turn it atound and thus far he has and now you have those sleazebags at Geelong putting their grubby paws into the pudding hoping for something cheap.

Can't have a poor kicking midfield if you don't have any midfielders

Every other club in the league would want him. 
I’m sure Bontempelli would be sought by everyone as well, but it ain’t going to happen.

Best to stop reading when you see the authors name, and his employer.

Correct - the desperation for relevance from some of these people is beyond ridiculous. Oliver is in the middle of a massive contract - no team can afford to give us what is required for us to give up Clarry.

We could head this off by relocating our Training and Admin facilities to Moggs Creek.

In seriousness I cannot see how Geelong would come up with the 2 x early first round picks to satisfy any trade and thats if Clarry wanted to leave Melbourne and go there. I think this sort of rubbish reporting will only intensify depending on how our season progresses.

We don't want any of our players to get to the stage of wanting to leave Melbourne, and the best way to do that is to make sure the Club is the best place for them to be happy, and if not why not.

'Out of favour' - spare me. Geelong are in the Vic media's favourite 3 teams alongside Collingwood and Carlton and they want all the good players to go to one of them. Morons.

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
