  • 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.

Final team for Sunday

I think the team chosen is pretty good. Happy to see Maric in with Robbo.

Jetta will be good for a run at Casey. Has been good at times but could do with a few touches in the 2's.

As for Newton. May never be seen of again.

Should of been Bate out and Newton stays....oh well

IMO Bate's form has been up and down but he is a better footy player than Newton.

And his form didn't warrant selection ahead of Bate.

The decision may have been because Bate has more strings to his bow that Newton

No idea why the hell we pick out of form players in the first place

Oh Great.!!

I can already here it now "Newton is going to get in the way of Jack Watts development at Casey, just like Sauntner was getting in the way of Newton's". :lol:

Bate is probably out next if he can't do something this week.

Go Dees - Building for the Future.

This appears to be the physically strongest team we've picked all season.

Just in time for our testing run ahead of us.

Steven Stretch was an excellent servant of the Melbourne Football Club- A best and fairest and All Australian- at a time when Melbourne finally became a decent team after so many years of [censored]!!i've noticed on here a number of posts about him have questioned his courage- what a crock- he deserves so much better from so called Melbourne supporters who want to trash his reputation because of the 88 grand final disaster- wasn't just his fault there were 19 other players out there that day!! How can we expect ex players to continue to publicly embrace the club when so many of our "supporters" disown them once they're gone and try to minimise their contribution to the club- once a Demon always a Demon- have a bit of respect for anyone who wore our jumper, no matter how good or bad they are/were!!!

I loved watching Steven Stretch play.............he used to take some rippng marks, and was a damn good player!

As for Bate / Newton..................the difference is Bate has previously shown something...........Newton has shown nothing at senior level.

Right decision IMO.

Newton would have a future if someone sat him on their kneee (better use someone tall, maybe Jimmy) and said "Son, don't worry about kicking the goal. We don't care right now. Just drop the ball onto your foot correctly and follow through the kick." At the moment, Newton looks like he is hooking the kids' basketball out of the way with the rake ready to mow the lawn. And you can smell the fear from the stand.

He gets near the ball much more than a couple of years ago. He would only get within 20 metres three times a game in 2006/7.

I can send in a 2001 Auskick CD (onya Woey) if MFC is struggling for kicking skills expertise.

no jetta for Casey today, obviously the emergency for Melbourne tomorrow... If he doesn't get a game tomorrow, and not recalled next week, he won't play next week either as Casey have a bye next week...

Whilist i think Newton has the capacity to play AFL physically i do think most of his problem is above the shoulders

When and IF he overcomes that he could be valuable

Stretch IMO was a good servant of the MFC

You obviously never saw him play by your statement

    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,
