  • 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.

Jack Viney on the Mangarook Footy Show tonight.

Very composed. Captain worthy performance!  He said:

- Hogan loves playing with Dawes

- His pre season scuffle with TMc was because he thought Tommy was being a bit soft...could have been joking

- On the hunt for a puppy...like Bernie's mountain dog----->images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT2SA_ZeRF3L0oK_rE7wFC       Cute, eh? 

- Agreed with the singing of Wagner's praises.

- They accept making a few mistakes while learning and practice of 'our way of playing'.

- Roos pushed defence for 2 years and once we got that sorted we started an attacking game style in this pre-season

That is all I can remember...

As JV said it, I groaned for that reason. 

I guess if that is what the club thinks is best and it keeps Jesse happy so be it

It would probably be a cheaper option than buying him a gold mansion and filling it with naked ladies who feed him grapes all day

Superannuation maybe  to fill in for Hoges and the Weed when needed and mentor future forwards.

Watts rucking gives the Dawes vs Pedersen debate a whole new dimension.  The fact that Hogan (seemingly) sees himself as a better player with Dawes in the side would really only be a tie-breaker in the conversation though.

Yeah, but a lot less interesting. 

Know anyone who might apply? :)

I loved when Jack was asked about Prestia coming to the Dees next year, he started his reply with "well, I'm not in charge of list management obviously or I'd have given myself another contract by now"

Understood Rusty.  Wanted to mention JV's first class performance somewhere on DL and this thread title looked a good place.

Just remembered, JV also mentioned JKH...said he had a bad run of luck with injuries but when fit would be in best 22.  Good vote of confidence for JKH.

I know.

According to Jack, Bernie Vince has one hence my words like 'Bernie's mountain dog' and they showed a pic of Jack with the dog.  I googled Bernese Mountain Dog to get the pic in my post.  But I can see how my post could be read as you have.:rolleyes:

I know Dawes isn't great at clunking marks and doesn't kick a lot of goals, but he has great footy smarts and works insanely hard to create space for his team. 

Jesse would love one v one rather than three v one

Great City Bern

You think? No impressed how they have the Bears in a concrete pit, seems out of character with the Swiss in general.

Ever been there in winter, one cold old place.

    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
