    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.

He's a topic starter:

Recruit Woewodin. He's been getting 40+ disposals every week in the WAFL, we'd get him at a bargin basement price and he already knows most of the older players and has signalled his desire to return to Melbourne.

Why not?

Next year is essentially meaningless. So too the year after I guess.

How about we use that bargain basement price to draft a young kid who might not make it (we lose maybe a year or two of Woewodin as a contributor - at best) but who might turn out to have what it takes and be part of the McLean and Bate era that has a crack at the flag.

Wrong. The next two years are our window. The time to win a premiership is now. We have a great mix of experienced, middle tier and youngsters. Save for injury, this could have been our year. In three years time there will be no Neitz, no White, no Yze, no Godfrey, no Holland, no Pickett, no Ward, no Brown, no Wheatley, no Wheland and possible no Robertson (he'd be close to 32 by then). That's a lot of players that will be leaving, none more important than Neitz. You can't under-estimate the importance Neitz has on the team. When he doesn't play our forward line falls to bits, every single time. He is the staple holding the entire forward line together.

When he doesn't play our forward line falls to bits, every single time. He is the staple holding the entire forward line together.

So you want to prop up our list now in the gamble that an ageing group of Neitz, McDonald (you missed him), and White can carry youngsters - who are generally inconsistent - to a flag at the expense of building for the McLean & Bate era?

I don't share your faith in guys like Yze and Pickett at all. Blokes like Holland, Ward, and Brown aren't especially talented and are fringe types who wouldn't get a gig in the best sides IMHO. Whelan is struggling to get out on the park more and more, and while I rate the guy I wouldn't bet on him breaking his finals hoodoo and win us a flag.

Providing we can adequately replace Neitz at FF (agree it's a massive hole) and White in the ruck we'll be better in 3-5 years when the mind and bodies of guys like Petterd, Garland, Frawley, McLean, Jones, Bate, Dunn & co. have matured.

PS. Wheatley won't be gone in three years - he's ~26.

Woey was a great player, but i think its time for him to wake up, and come to the realisation that no one will pick him up for next year

He was a slight chance of getting drafted at the end of 2005

He was a 1 in 100 chance at the end of last year, if there was a team desperate enough

He is absolutely no chance whatsoever of getting on an AFL list next season, despite the no. of 40 possession games he gets in the WAFL

plenty of worse players have been picked up at his age in the preseason draft. and at 29, the age when he was delisted by collingwood). i am surprised no one picked him up back then, because i think he woul dhave played for zilch. and i am dissapointed that a player who could win a brownlow (especially for us) could be effectively out of the game at 28. amazing really.

but this is a stupid thread. and you can't really think we should get him back if u have any idea about footy.

He wont play AFL again and he knows this.

But why would he not consider coaching

He is apart time coach at Freo at the moment.

He said he would like to be involved with MFC in some way in the future.

Not a bad thing i think

Oh hang on......is he serious?????? :o:o:o

My first thought was that the suggsetion would be to recruit Woey as an assistant coach. I guess that just shows how little credence I give to the idea of him playing at AFL level again.

What might be interesting is Woey being a player/assistant coach for Sandy, like Rigoni did for a year after he was delisted by the Demons.

But of course, there are probably going to be about four of the demon's older players all looking for a spot in Sandy next year!

Sandrigham line up for 2008 -

B: Brown Holland Lamb

HB: Woewodin Bizzell Ward

etc.. etc..

Assistant coach to Gary would be a great role for him or how about fitness coach or something?

*just a hint* you might want to check how to correctly spell the name of the man you want to coach.

    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,

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.
