  • 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.

Rumor has it that WCE were after Johnstone, Davey + Pick 4 in exchange for Judd. MFC backed away as was too high a price to pay, which I personally believe was a very smart move.

Wouldn't suprise me at all if he ended up there, although I really do hope all the speculation is just a brilliant ploy of Bailey's to get Travis to actually care about his footy.... (or at least to appear to!!)

I like the other rumour better where Chris Judd was simply asking for too much money. Davey, Trapper and Pick 4 I would have done in a pooftenth of a second if we could have afforded Judd.

Damn straight.

If that is really the reason why Judd didn't choose us, this club really does need to have its head examined.

Which makes me think that it's absolute crap. Judd didn't come to Melbourne because Melbourne wouldn't pay him disgusting amounts of money for 5 years at the expense of its other future stars!

Y_M, for once in your life, I hope that your prediction comes true.

It's not an exact measure of time exactly... but it wouldn't be long. I'll have to consult my dear ol Ma.... it's obviously from a time when the conotation wasn't quite so loaded... not that there's anything wrong with that :)

They don't need him, They have Priddis, Kerr and Cousins. TJ wouldn't even keep up with them at training

I hope Travis stays, new coach, new beginning. Don't forget he had 'Mr Mediocre' ND all his footballing life, IMO Bailey is just the thing he needs

He needs a good summer in the gym like alot of the MFC. They have to toughen up.

I think the MFC's better seasons came from Troys Broadbridges death, they played with spirit as a team, that all seemed to have faded away this season. Injuries did play a part in our poor season but I don't think we improved over the summer like other clubs. I dont think we had the right mentality either

if anything, all this speculation is only going to have a bad effect on TJ. he would be pretty [censored] off at the moment with everyone trying to trade him. think about his last match and his b & f year.

Travis Johnstone is the best player we have. If you all say he is lazy and doesn't care that doesn't say alot about the rest of the group.

He is not our best player. He plays a couple of great games a year. Real midfielders do that week in week out. He is a poor midfielder compared to the rest in the comp. He is a second rate Mid fielder, He is not in the class of Judd Kerr Cousins Burgoynes, Mitchell, Hodge, Ablett, Bartel, Goodes, Kirk, Black,Goodwin, Thompson, West, etc, etc.......... His midfield days are over! throw him on a WING Bailey. Leave the Midfield to McLean, Bruce Green JMAC and Jones.

    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
