  • 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.

Would keep Green he has some talent and should have been either Captain or VC.

Robbo has just signed a two year contract so he won't be going anywhere.

White may be needed for one more year unless Meesen comes good.

You forgot JAMAR to Sandy.

Green is part of the cancer that's destroying this club, he may or may not be a good guy, who cares. He's one of the outside recievers that never gets physical. He has to go.

Replace Green with Bruce and you're just about right.

From what I'm hearing, there are going to be enormous changes happening at the end of this season. A lot of our favourites won't make it to 2009.

Oh and if we get a half-drunk bottle of coke for Warnock, it would be the biggest steal of the century. Warnock is very much in the delist pile along with Weetra and CJ if they fail to show anything.

You do realise you do actually need a few receivers in a side?

In and under players usually can't get a steady kick out of a pack, so they look for the receivers.......

You're not already part of the Melbourne list management people, are you?

"out of a pack, so they look for the receivers......." this is exactly why I wanted Ebert in last years draft, 6'2" tall with reasonable pace who has class, kicks off both feet very well & plays both inside & outside equally well...

"you can't give a squib courage and you can't make a slow man fast."

We have to change the culture @ the club, that means NO ONE gets an easy ride. He doesn't go in, he doesn't get a game!

It's now,,,, or never............

"What was Checker Hughes like?" I ask, still cautious not to intrude while the Dees have a game to win.

"He was my football father," Noel says affectionately. "He taught me about life. About respect and loyalty. 'Where there's no respect, there's no loyalty,' he used to say. You can make things happen. There's only two things you can't change: you can't give a squib courage and you can't make a slow man fast."

for anyone who thinks we have the capacity to trade off and delist players at years end should take this into consideration...

retiring definitely:

Neitz

Whelan

Yze

Holland

Retiring probably:

McDonald

White

Delist definitely:

C.Johnson

Warnock

That's already 8 players and a hell of a lot of experience!

In a perfect world, i would definitely delist Miller, Jamar, Wheatley, as well as try to trade Green, Bruce and Robbo...however the reality is that you can't have such massive list changes in 1 season.

Hopefully by 2-3 years time we'll have gotten rid of all our dead wood

What club would seriously trade anything for Warnock?

Theres a rumour Chad Cournes wants to come to melbourne and Warnock is locked to that discussion. Me thinks a good swap but risky if Warnock comes good.

I'd like to see Green at full forward for a while. I don't want to see him go until he hasn't been tried there for a good few games.

l agree, Green won't be going anywhere unless there is a good trade for him

    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
