  • 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 for Captain?

I'm going early on this one....

Jack Viney.

:rolleyes:

When will Viney be up for draft? If it is this year, that's bad for us as our high draft picks may have to be used if we wanted to pick him up as a father-son selection. But if it were next year, considering the GC draft concessions, we won't have such high selections anyhow and are likely to get a better 'bargain'.

Jack Grimes to me is looking like Melbourne's next future captain. Thats my prediction.

With the 2nd half of the season to go I think we might hear some rumblings soon!

Watch this space!

JACK 16 for CAPTAIN!

My view on the captaincy is give it to Green for say 2 years, then look to one of our younger players. If we're looking to bring a lot of young players through at the same time to create a sustained period of success, then it makes sense to give one of them the top job. In two years we'll know a lot more about them as well.

Wait and see you tossers! You will eat your words and [censored] your pants when you say I am right. Ha Ha!

No. Jack won't be captain next year.

Did I stir the pot! Ha Ha!

Um. No. You gave comic relief. Well done though, if that was your intention.

You will all see....

See what? That you're deluded?

If Sylvia keeps his outstanding form up for the rest of the year, I think he'd be a great captain in 2010. Bit of an idiot at times, thats a given, but maybe what Melbourne needs is a little agression in the leadership.

But Grimes is far too young. Captain...maybe someday, but not for now.

When the pressure was massively on he made quite a few mistakes I thought, which I agree Rogue were quite surprising I thought.

Was flat footed at one stage when a Bombers player ran straight passed him for a mark, a few skill errors, one shocking grubber kick. But then also did quite a few nice things.

Yeah it certainly wasn't his best game. The flat footnedness was something I noticed too. And his kicking wasn't as good as it has been.

But he did kick a goal, which was nice.

His first game in the middle and I thought he did ok.

Lost his man a few times when his opponent pushed forward, which was disappointing. Loved the goal though. He has really good speed about him, and is so good at positioning himself.

Ah who am I kidding, he is no good, take him and the other Jack and [censored] them both off :rolleyes::P

All this talk about the really young guns like grimey and morts, and we keep overlooking a man everyone at the club values: Brent Moloney. He has the heart that the club needs to build its culture around and with a warrior like Jonesy by his side in the centre they can power our engine room for many years to come. When these two have the fire in their eyes it has opportunity to spread. With a little bit of silk on their wings and a contested marker or three (a quality crumber would be nice also) up forward we would be well on the way to rebuilt.

Moloney is a leader for the club looking forward, and im beyond sick of seeing bruce as a replacement captain. not a positive for the future.

    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,

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. 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.
