  • 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.

Just the kind of KPP we need. I assume that most clubs will be looking to pick him up so the chances of getting him are pretty low.

What could we give St.Kilda in return if we do get him?

Maybe Ferguson to join his brother and pick 20

Goose would be a great pickup but i would imagine the saints would be hanging on to him as tightly as they can, though with the two nicks just signing new contracts this season, there wouldnt be much room left in their salary cap so there is a chance

I wouldnt go near Maguire

He is overrated, and he is never on the park anyway

No thanks

He was pretty consistant and relatively injury free until he broke his leg in 06

I agree with Bruce Almighty if we got goose instead of Mcgregor, then that team of 2008 of your YZE_Magic would absolutely chop

Maguire would be a good pick up, no doubt but I don't think StK will let him leave. It'd definately be worth having a crack at him.

Another who it has been suggested wants a change of clubs is Jayme Graham from WCE. He'd be cheaper and has done some good things.

As for McGregor, he is just as injury prone as Maguire. I had a look at an Adelaide site and basically they think he has dodgy knees and won't be much of a loss (although I think he is a bit of a fan favourite). I'd only take him if he came very cheap!

Oh for heavens sake......

Now, I regard Maguire very highly at CHB, and I believe he would be great pick up, if we were able to get him, which is always the question.

The Saints fan site are starting to get a little bit nervy about the the fact that Goose along with Xavier Clarke have not signed with the club as yet, and given how many big names they have had to re-contract (Kosi, Reiwoldt (on some big dollars apparently), Dal Santo, Hudgton, Fiora, last week, and an extra year for Fisher, who wasn't even out of contract) this season, there is an ever growing worry over there that they are running out of cash.

As for his injuries, he had some injury concerns early on in his career back in 2002 and 2003, but got through that and was playing really good footy in 2005 and 2006 right up until he broke his leg at the end of last season. And seriously if anyone considers that a freak accident like that makes a player injury prone then maybe we are not on the same train of thought. Of course he has not played as well because of that break this year, but the talent is definitely there.

I honestly believe he would be a great asset to our backline.

Goose would be a good pick up but if we're any chance for Judd then we are no chance for Goose.

If we are no chance for a Judd our 4th pick could be valuable and we could assist that trade with the trade, get Goose and either another good player or a replacement pick, probably early teens.

That said, forget goose, get Judd.

Judd is our main priority I'd say. I most contract negotiations would be taking a back seat this week at all clubs.

While I do agree here.......

I also believe that there has to be an eye kept on whoever else may become available.

Judd has absolutely and necessarily become the top priority, but the club would be negligent if it disregarded all other possibilities.

Just my opinion :) !!!

Absolutely. The smart money is on whatever falls our way. Linton Ave is a rabble..has been for decades and a good reason many talented players have . They are fed up with e bullsh!t that goes on there. if it wasnt true it would be written by a comedy scriptwriter!!

certainly the main game is Judd.. but the wary will have all eys peeled for others !! ;) spot on QC

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
