    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 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.

I said it early in the week that this is the best side we have had since '98.

We are currently 5th and I truly believe we can go all the way with this side.

Hannan saved himself in the last quarter I thought he done nothing for 3 quarters.

I think the Weide isn't needed T.Mac can play second ruck and Gawn can play more forward.

Can't see them switching a tall for a mid, Weid has allowed TMac and Hogan to roam while keeping some structure in the forward line. I think it's really helped with some of the mismatches that occurred in the last. 

I'm in the Vince out for a rest, Viney in camp.

I am also in the Tyson for Viney, but resting Vince could be an option.

I think it’s there only option.  

Goodwin talked up the Weed after the game and Viney won’t play ANB’s half forward role. 

Tyson is an inside mid who has not been overly effective and still makes lots of mistakes

There's another option - give Viney another week. Why not? I'd rather err on the super cautious side.

I’d rather he come back to condition himself against Carlton at the G than against Adelaide in Alice Springs.

I think Goody said at the end of his presser that Viney would play next week.

Tyson hasn't been playing as an inside mid though, he played more as a defensive sweeper/mid today and I thought he was in our best half dozen in the first half, was much quieter in the second half but the ball barely went down there.

I think Vince is more of a chance to get dropped than Tyson. 

Age is catching up with him.

After watching Goody's presser I think the Weid stays but Vince is in trouble, I would like to see Tyson stay I like him as a footballer.

That is just completely bizarre. Not only has tmac just come back from an injured foot but is playing well in the forward line while sometimes wandering out to the wing area. Gawn can play forward more is nonsensical because he is the best ruckman in the side so why play him forward more with tmac rucking ??????? I just don't get your argument.

Settle down.

OK I think the Weid stays I just know that T.Mac can play well as a second ruck and Gawn can play well as a second forward. The Weid hasn't grasped the second forward role yet but he has been quite good as the second ruck.

Even as an armchair coach it's hard to predict who will make way for Viney.

Let's be real, you are pretty stiff to get dropped after an 11 goal win. If Viney wasn't out there wouldn't be changes next week.

Happy with the current team, but Viney has to come back in.

    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
