  • 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.

The time has come for Juice

This may sound misguided and optimistic but we have to play Newton every week from now on in the Seniors. Sandy is not a good breeding ground for forwards as Sautner has been the VFLs version of plugger for the last 10 years or whatever. Throw newton at the wolves and give him every chance to develop into a forward force.

Agree 100%. Get him in this side.

When he developes some balls and learns to run better than Daffy Duck he might get a chance

Newton just has to be given a chance now and for the rest of the year. Lynden Dunn and Brad Green should be played up forward as well. Dunn is just not a mid and we drafted him to be a forward and now is his chance.

Juice would have been in the team the last couple of weeks...the only problem is that he is still injured. When fully fit now he'll be a certain starter.

Yeah I guess he has got to come in if he is fit, regardless of his attitude. Personally , I`d like to see Maric replace Robbo. Just not sure if he is gunna get a game this year unfortunately. I do not think Juice would get a game at another club just quietly.

Games shouldn't just be handed to blokes simply cause we have "no other options" Newton has showed absolutely nothing all year and does not deserve a spot in the side at present I would rather see Dunn played at FF but he to as shown little this year. Newton is not the answer and i'm starting to think he never will be.

give green a quarter in the middle. if he starts running about looking lost then throw him up forward where he should be.

Its unfortunate that we are forced to play a natural half forward in the middle.

Dunn and Newton were recruited to replace Neitz. Its time for it to happen

Well it's alright to say that, and I actually agree that players shouldn't be gifted a spot in the team, but we sorely lacked a big, strong marking presence in the forward line, and this is why we drafted Newton. Give him a shot at it, he knows his career is on the line, and if he doesn't perform, get rid of him.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.

    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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
