  • 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.

JKH needs an extended run in the VFL. If no one else is omitted due to injury, as others have suggested, Jones out and Gawn in. 

He's been there for a few weeks? In awesome form as I'm sure you're aware. You hated his early season form that much?

Gawn in for Jones, don't we go in a bit tall?

Not if Kennedy plays. Their talls killed us pre-season. 

On JKH, I don't think he fits into our game style. He's too soft.

I am sorry but I think it is time you checked yourself into Arkham, you gone Loco.

alright you're all hilarious with your memes (good-natured tone)

everyone bagging Frost being dropped, anyone care to say the tall they will drop? Crush O Macs confidence? Peedo is killing it. T Mac undroppable

Yeah. OMac, TMac and Frost on their talls, sure. Frost wasn't playing in pre-season, and OMac wasn't in form. Also we've done well in the forward line without big boys. Scoring heavily actually. I'm pumped to see us run rings around their defenders.

I get your concerns about his hardness. He's no Jones (who is?) But I'm not sure he's "soft" whatever that means. I have a feeling Goody slots him forward as the negating defender as a reward for his good VFL form and Hannan, Vince and others slide up the ground like they did against Dogs.

Interesting stuff though.

Like for like, why wouldn't we go Trengove for Jones?

this is the perfect opportunity, and why they kept him on list.  JKH and Stretch are outside players.

If Watts and Hibberd are fine to play Saturday, who do you omit for Gawn?

Gawn for Jones should be the only change, the formula is working at the moment.

I'm concerned that the Jones article mentions Hibberd is sore and might not get up for the game! Looks like Wagner will get a recall

Several players mentioned , none of them Hibberd

Heard Ox say there might be a smokey this weekend. Source Brett Anderson who i think is a Dees fan .

Could it be Maynard? 

Hes racking up touches for Casey and from all reports he is hard as nails.

You may be on to something, HB.

Maynard looks really good would love to see him at afl level early.

Has that explosive speed to get out of congestion, fairly poised under pressure and could've kicked two goals on weekend but just missed.

But most importantly he is hard at it and will definitely add to our manic pressure game plan.

Out: Jones

In: Gawn

Easy as that I think.

Misson says he expects Watts, Hunt and Jetta to all get up. No mention at all of Hibberd - where has that talk come from?

Bummed about Jones though. That's interfered with my mood more than any injury has this year including Hogan. Not because he's the best player but because he's not supposed to break, feels like it's upset the universe a bit.

Lewis/Salem/ANB/Trac get more midfield time.

T Mac stays back, Pedo fwd/2nd ruck

Frost stiff

if Watts injured Frost stays in

Frost out, you are kidding.  He has been fantastic this year

Yes it does feel like that indeed! How can Melbourne play without Nat Jones, it will be very odd not having him out there. Hopefully the Hibberd stuff is just rumour. He played the last q pretty strongly did he not?? Unless its the dreaded General, general soreness...would certainly throw a spanner in the backline.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
