  • 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.

It was a joke people. As if to say we MIGHT be hyping him up over nothing, or that he might not even have an opportunity on the day to make the hype worth it.

Some people take things too personally me thinks.

I hear that when Jack Watts goes swimming he doesn't get wet, the water gets Jack Wattsed

I've heard that everytime he blinks, the Melbourne Football Club signs a new member.

My friend asked me about the swine flu thing, and I tired using the Chuck Norris analysis (you know, Jack Watts doesn't get swine flu, swine flu gets Jack Wattsed), but they didn't get it.

Stupid inbred Carlton supporters! :rolleyes:;)

That has to be the most painful two hours of my life, and the five minute interview they had with Jack was hardly worth it. The kid is awesome, but the Footy Show is a disgrace!

was there anything of interest to report?

Well his mum is a nurse, and had a swine flu scare, so they tested her, and had to wait for the blood test results to come through before they could make the announcement that Watts was playing (and Watts himself also had to wait). Apparently they were going to announce it on Monday and try to plug the game a bit... don't think the two day delay has hurt the publicity though :D

Lucky it's not every time he sleeps - because Jack Watts never sleeps...he waits.

Jaded, you spoke to a Carlton fan?

Fairly stock-standard for anyone who didn't see it. When asked if he's ready for AFL footy, said he felt that he was ready to play HFF or on the wing, but not to play KP. My favorite part of the interview was when Gary asked him if, since joining Melbourne, he's developed an appreciation of the proud history and tradition of the club. Said it was a "great honor" to play for Melbourne, and that (I'm paraphrasing, mind you) "the MCG is our home ground, and hopefully in the next few years we can get back to where we once were, when other teams FEARED to go to the MCG and play Melbourne".

There was more, but nothing too memorable. That said, he gives a very good account of himself, is obviously very mature and intelligent for his age, and will be a great spokesman for the club in years to come.

    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,
