  • 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.

Jack Grimes should be good to go in four to five weeks.

Says who? This list has reported such rumours for the past 4-6 weeks, including quotes from Grimes that he will be good in '2 weeks'

I don't have a good feeling about him ever playing. :angry:

2 weeks in the VFL and then we should be letting him loose in the AFL. The young man lives and breathes Melbourne. Seriously it would not surprise me if he used to have a user account on demonland.com

Believe it. He has been out on the track @ the junction oval in the last few weeks doing light work, a first for his season I believe.

He was in the coaches box @ Sandy on the weekend, I've not seen him there before so it seems to me that he is nearing a time when he may get a light run in sandy seconds. It'll be good to see him go around.

Stay tuned for a crowd favourite to be unleashed.

If anyone questions what this club stands for it will manifest itself in this kid. The boyhood dream of playing for a club that he loves. That is what the Melbourne Football Club stands for and what most of us that were never any good fantasize about.

My old man spoke to him at the Heroes function, told him that he would be 2-3 weeks away. He has been sufferring from stress fractures in his lower back, he said that the club believed that his kicking action was to blame. Unusual injury for a footballer, more commonly associated with cricketers, and in particular, fast bowlers.

Here's hoping he can get his body right and get a couple of games under his belt, would love to see him in the Red & Blue before the end of the season...

He will be a superstar!!!

Mark my words.

he is fearless. We will worship him the same way the kangaroos worshipped Glenn Archer.

Jack Grimes will be simply awesome.

Combine the way he plays with the fact he followed the Demons growing up, and you are gonna see a hell of a player.

What is the hurry??

The season is shot, why rush him back. If naything, we want to have an ace or two up our sleeve for next season. Unveiling a gun young player next season would be fantastic.

I hope he plays this year, but why rush him? Get him fit for next season!!!

For the love of all that is red and blue, what has gotten into supporters lately?

The kid is still going through puberty. He has been on the list for less than a year. He has a problem with his back and rightly so the club is being VERY cautious with him. How incredibly idiotic would it be if we rushed him, and caused permanent damage?

I believe that he is now doing a modified version of a pre-season, given he didn't do one at the start of the year and when he's finished, he'll be physically ready to play some football.

If it takes 2 weeks, if it takes the rest of the year, it will make no difference to his long term career at the MFC if we can manage his problem and get it right.

We're getting our arses kicked at the moment. Why inflict more pain on the child than necessary?!

I'm happy just for Grimesy to ease back into footy this year and perhaps play a couple of games with Sandy, then next year concentrate on building his fitness level up and playing some consistent games, let's not burden him with greatness just yet.

Good reply Jaded. We have at least a few years ahead of us before this team will deliver.

    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

    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,
