  • 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.


Changes v Richmond R5

Richmond is [censored].  They have beaten rubbish teams in Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane and West Coast on a wet day in Melb.  Dees are not in bad form, they just had a bad qtr against Freo.  We were by far the better side against Geelong and had Gawn not gone down we win. 

The Hulk comes in and we win!!!

The Tiges have had 4 good wins. We have one good win and a poor win. We have not been too bad that's true but far from impressive and not confidence building performances.  However, we will have to make the most of our opportunities up forward and our midfield will have to play its a......   off.

Just on 7 news.

Martin with a groin injury concern. should get up but wont be 100% fit.

Hibberd right in the frame to get selected on Monday.

That has to be a massive win for us. Even if Martin plays, I can't see him pulling off another 40 possession 3 goal game on a crook groin.

Hogan and Hibberd look like great ins on paper.

Please let some injury news go our way and Dusty miss :rolleyes:

I hope they pick him, he then totally ruins the groin in the first 5 mins and is out for the rest of the game (10 weeks out total) and it starts the downward spiral of the Tigs season.

What TF does anyone see in Oscar M? Slow, He was outbodied last weekend by Ayce Cordy and just isn't up to it!

Oh, I get it he will play on Jack Riewoldt for entertainment factor!

Cheez get real people!

Pedo must come in IMO

I think you should blame Hogan and Lewis. If those two think that it's the Carlton doctor and the MRP process which is the problem, they will have learned nothing and we'll have the same problem repeating itself.

Stupid actions I concede but the penalties were completely disproportionate to what they did, especially having regard to similar, if not worse, acts by other players this year that have barely attracted any sanction at all.

It's cost us at least one win thus far.

A remarkable neck out statement filled with the insight of a seagull stricken on a barren landscape.

Insightful Pro. Well done.

I agree, they have beaten carlton, Brisbane, and Collingwood and fallen over the line against a wasteful west coast. far from convinced they can do it against better opposition

Richmond more than any other team rides on confidence and emotion. If they get on top early will be hard to reel them back in.

Surprised people are giving Hibberd another week. From what I saw of the game today his kicking off half back was great. Unless we'd like to handball in circles inviting the opposition to take it off us and kick goals for another week, he comes in.

Misson didnt say it, but you could tell he was thinking that Hibberd needed another week in the 2s

I've seen every second of Richmond this season and haven't liked much of what I've seen. I said North were the worst 9-0 team ever last year, Richmond are a much worse 4-0 team. 

Nankervis has made them their biggest improvement, as their rucks have been shot (semi typo) for years. Spencer is good enough to break even going on his form so far this year. 

Their stars are playing well, the same ones that go missing when the spotlight is on. They don't worry me. 

They're playing as well as they can and it's not impressive. 

If we lose to them I'm going to be furious.

We are beyond needing oppo injuries to get a win.

 

I totally get your point as it's a bit of a loser's mentality having to rely on the opposition's guns to be injured in order to win a game.

However, Geelong and Freo have directly benefited from our stars being out, so I feel we're due a little luck going the other way.

Definitely a more circumspect opinion BB. 

I'm trying to work out whether Hemingway is attempting a pun here. If he is, I'm afraid it doesn't cut it.

Jack Watts specifically mentioned JKH on SEN this morning.  Goodwin's pre-season player review of him in Heartbeat was glowing.  Will not surprise to see him in.

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
