  • 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.

I was thinking of Ellis

Well now I think I'm going to die <_<

We have such a rich history of duds wearing the number 4, no wonder they finally decided to give it to Jack. He is the best chance we've had in years of restoring that number to its former glory.

No pressure Jack, you can add that to your list of things to do alongside completing VCE, winning the Coleman, a Brownlow, 4 B&F's, captaining 3 premierships, helping to save us from financial ruin, stopping the Swine Flu epidemic, solving the water crisis, and bringing peace to the Middle East :lol:

Who's debuting Monday, Brent Grgic?

;)

Makes a lot of sense for it too be QB. Always seemed like the date they would work towards, and Bailey's comments in the media over the past two weeks have fitted in with that, if you pay close enough attention to his demeanor and attitude.

Monday is going to be a great day for our club, win lose or draw. Let's hope the boys can welcome Jack to the AFL in style.

I have it on very good authority that Jack Watts is a certain starter against Collingwood. I would not post this if I was not sure, but I have been told he is certain starter on Queens Birthday.

I can feel the board going into meltdown mode regardless of whether this is true or not.

Stand by mods :D

If Bailey thinks Watts is ready, then I'm ready. If not, then I'm prepared to wait until the time is right. I'm excited to see him debut for the simple fact that when he does, it will because the coaches have determined he is ready to go. No other reason is sufficient, e.g merely playing him just to pump up an attendance figure on QB. This would be reckless.

It's going to be a long wait this week to see if he will be named Thursday night.

What will increase the anxiety is the fact that if Watts is named on Thursday, it is likely he will be named on the extended interchange. Since the game is Monday, does the club have to name their final team by Friday afternoon or Saturday?

Ah hell, I need to smoke a J.

Well, I hope you are right. Because your head is on the chopping block otherwise!

I know for a fact, So I don't mind putting my head out. I knew the excitment it would bring, I wouldn't dare tease my fellow Melbourne members on such a passionate subject.

Steamin pile of bu@#!hit.....I think not.

I believe you and your claim is supported by the release of the article on the MFC website. Normally when players are endorsed in a headline as being "a chance" they play.

Would JW have exams coming up next week ? If so, it would be a strange time to debut.

I wouldve thought the same to be honest. However I guess that all depends on what subjects he is doing. I know when I did my VCE 5 years ago I didnt have any mid year exams. Just SAC's and stuff like that. So maybe he is doing a lot of Humanities subjects which generally dont have mid years??? Maybe our current VCE'ers could shed some light

If and I mean "IF" Watts plays Monday (I do doubt it) I would expect Presty in his form to give him a bit of a hiding, might be better to have him play against Essendon who have younger less experienced backs.

Presti will take Miller/Newton, I'd think. Especially if we play Watts further up the ground.

Don't think many footballers do VCE Chem and Physics, I think Jack'll be Ok :D

In all honesty IF he's ready, he'll play. I dont have huge expectations for him, but one thing I would LOVE to see...

Watts, snap shot from a slight angle, 30 metres out in the opening quarter for his first goal in league football, and the entire Melbourne team swarm him in celebration. That's all I need to see.

But I will fight the urge to get my hopes up, as I doubt it will.

Me too. Despite the rumours and growing momentum I don't think it will happen this weekend. Things have taken flight, but I smell a letdown.

I'm torn. :lol:

This is the difference between a massive day for me & my family on Monday, including a great spread for lunch, beverages, footy, out for dinner. Huge spending spree. And Jack Watts v Collingwood.

Or,

A day at the footy with a mate and a luke warm meat pie....without Jack.

It's over to the selectors to determine my fate for Monday......please let it be the former alternative.....Because that way I'm not driving! :D

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
