  • 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.

LOL @ Cale Morton

What do you regard as the most memorable sporting moment?

When Mohammed Ali lit the Olympic flame in Atlanta 1996

Morton was born in 1990

I like Rhys Palmer personally. Had one really outstanding game in the Under-18 championships with 34 possessions and 5 goals. Don't know why, but he reminds me a bit of Sylvia. Plenty of the P word then, but hopefully (if he comes to us) he can get his mind focussed and develop into the top player he shows signs of being.

Got a video (bit hard to follow as its been edited a bit) with some of the soon-to-be draftees in it.

Id be very interested in the last time someone was as impressive as this guy in a previous under championship match. What does a display like this tell us?

Can anyone post their knowledge of players from years gone by who have had similar games in the under 18 championships who have or have not gone on to be top class footballers?

Cotchin or Ebert for me...

Both look promising...

3 other guys who will be right in contention for pick 4 are:

Rys Palmer- highly rated midfielder who ripped up the championships (including one game 35 possies 5 goals)

McEvoy- the best genuine ruckman in the draft. good taps and strong around the ground (Kruiser is almost like a 199cm rover rather than a genuine ruckman)

Rance- many predict melbourne will pick Rance. he is the best key position defender in the draft and is considered one of the best key defensive prospects to come out of a draft in years. He is a definite top 10 pick, most predicting he will not go lower than pick 8. (Unlike Frawley, who was highly rated, but most rated as a lower first ruond pick, rather than a top10 pick)

can people imagine 3 highly rated key defenders (Frawley 18yrold, Rance 17yrold and Rivers 22yrold) developing together. we'd have the best backline in the league in 3 years. that could be worth seriously considering!

Add in Bell (23yrold), Pettard (19yrold), Garland (18yrold), Bartram (20yrold) and Carrol (26yrold) and we could have a seriously strong defense with all these guyz developing their skills together over the next 2-3 years.

Well it could be the other way around. Do Carlton take Cotchin or Kreuzer at 1, knowing that they have pick 3.

Although I don't trust these things, Ratten was asked about him going to see Kreuzer the day before and Ratten said that they went to see Cotchin. This is strange because if they didn't lose and get pick 1 (who everyone thought was Kreuzer) then they would have had pick 3 only, which was probably going to have them miss both Kreuzer and Cotchin. So why were they going to see him with the coach (who usually goes to cast a final eye)?

I have a funny feeling Kreuzer may not necessarily go first.

    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,

    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
