  • 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.

Week early aren’t you? 

Lets worry about the swans. One week at a time and all that ?

Agree . Beat swans and don’t really care about last two results. Just need to make eight . Simple and this game ‘could’ be the one.

What the focus on WC? 

Lets just take the Simon Goodwin line of "one week at a time"... ??

This weekend game is by far our biggesthlme and away game this year.. win this and we're pretty much locked and loaded.

Just being a good scout and keeping an eye on the enemy. Staying two moves ahead. Feel free to come back next week to see all the intel I have gathered. :P

 

Heaven forbid you share this information a week early mate. Didn't you know the subjects we talk about on DL have an actual effect on the results on game day? Thanks for ending our season with your premature post.

For some reason I fancy our chances against the eagles more than the swans. No real logic to it so must be MFCSS that kicked in for the swans game at 1755 on the 5/8/18.

you just know Kennedy will be back for the Dees game.

Gaff is a massive out though.  so much of their attacking play starts with him or goes through him. Put harmes on Shuey.

Demand the players lower their eyes and hit up short 30m kicks into the fwd line.  no McGovern long bombs.

I hope I don't get in trouble for this but I copied and pasted directly from Bigfooty's West Coast forum:

 

1) So I’ve got a mate who’s family is I think married in to JK and they are pretty close with him.

Don’t shoot the messenger and I was skeptical when they all told me but they were very confident that JK is out for the season.

Again take it with a grain of salt because I have no idea whether they are assuming or have heard it from the great man himself but I thought I would pass on the message.

 

2) I've heard they dont have a time frame for his return and he wont play until finals at the earliest, club is keeping tight lipped.

JK just told 6PR that he'll be pushing for Brisbane (R23).

Gaff won’t be the only one out of the game, Kennedy says his return is still weeks away as he recovers from a shin injury.

“I’ll start doing some training this week. I won’t play this week and it’ll be a bit of a push for next week as well. She’s still been a little bit sore,” Kennedy told Steve and Baz.

Him having said that he said, "Hopefully I can fully train next week and get through what I need to do to play again Melbourne because we've got a couple of big games coming up but if not I'll be pushing to play against Brisbane."

I heard from my contacts in the WCE inner sanctum that Gaff might miss our round 22 clash resulting from an incident with Andrew Brayshaw on Sunday.  Apparently it is pretty serious.  Watch this space. 

Good sleuthing. You have been awarded a ?

I read on news.com.au that Gaff has flown to Melbourne to attend the tribunal hearing in person tonight.

Tribunal tonight, meeting clubs tomorrow.  I reckon he is now a certainty to leave West Coast.

I call BS. They were seen playing golf together last week. Just more media spin. He will surely play v Dees.

    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
