    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.

In: Tyson, Garlett, T Smith 

Out: Harmes, Hannan, Pedersen

Vince will be better for the week off. His good games this season haven’t gotten the plaudits they deserve and coming up against a much more experienced side I want him out there.

Jeffy is a bit of a punt but when he’s on he’s a game changer and this game is all in.

Classic Demonland.  One loss and we're making 6 changes to the side. It won't go that way.  There are a few who are on the edge, and no doubt they'll want to change things up a little, but six ch

Or the game v Norf?

Is this game make or break for us? I just have a feeling we lose, it makes top 8 chances a lot harder. Looking at the run home for clubs like Hawthorn and Collingwood they can easily jump and push us out. So nervous about Friday night.

It's probably best to settle in with a nice red or single malt (With coke) and read a good book (give Westworld S2 a miss, what a write off) and dart in/out of the AFL app for an update. But then, my constitution is a bit brittle and don't want #2 in utero to sense the reek of utter frustration that barracking for the MFC has caused thus far. Not a good vibe.

A single malt with coke! Sacrilege you never never ever put anything in single malt.

I'm very relaxed about Friday's game. I think we have them covered. Only caveat is the umpires. Watch us get Nicholls and Wallace.

I'd have:
Petty for Vince - get a genuine CHB in to build the structure around, Vince the defender with the worst form
Garlett for Hannan - Hannan hasn't nailed the spot so back to flaky Jeff in the hope he can produce
Tim Smith for Pedersen - the 3 big talls plus Melksham/Petracca makes a top heavy forward line that doesn't tackle enough, the extra mobility/pressure of Smith helps
Tyson for Spargo - I didn't want to drop Spargs but the extra mid lets us keep Tommy forward and we get versatility with who goes inside/outside/forward. Probably should be Harmes or Petracca dropped but they have greater upside/flexibility. Strengthen our strength which has to be around the ball

Your tongue just before you take your first sip. 

Although I do prefer a little ice. 

Coke is simply poison never to be consumed. It is wonderful as a cleaning agent.

I once heard from an old Scot, that it takes a "just a teardrop of water" to bring out the best in a good single malt.  After all these years following our team OD, you've probably been shedding tears into your scotch, and thoroughly enjoying it, without even knowing quite why.

Hmm!  I fear that would make it a tad too salty!

id be tempted to throw Vince in the middle and tag wines out of the game. 

 

Out: Pedo, Hannan 

In: Frost, Garlett (Frost to play forward as seen in training this week)

We've matched up very well on Port in the past and also play Adelaide oval very well. It's narrow ground is similar to Etihad, which suits us to a T. 

Melbourne by 42 points. Go Dees!

Agreed, since the Hawthorn game (except for the Adelaide game) our first quarters have been deeplorable.

 

 

Even though we have won our fair share of them? They haven't been our best quarter, but deplorable is way over the top.

I always have one ice cube. That is my small amount of H2O.

BTW Chivas is not a single malt. Stick as much coke it as you want. Very strange but... Oh you mean coca cola!

Yar but it fairly raises eyebrows

I don't care who is in or out. I just want 22 committed, tough, hard at contest players that ALL turn up to play on the one night for each other. We need to get rid of the tag of under achievers, softies when big games are on. The last 2 losses to Magpies hurt big time and don't forget the Hawks and Tigers games.Need to win this and win it well to get monkey off us. Time is now Dees and the leaders must do that and lead.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
