  • 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.

Key forward Brad Miller is back to take on the Swans, with injury forcing the Demons to make at least five changes.

Among the eight inclusions are two debutants in Queenslander Rohan Bail and Jordie McKenzie, who was today promoted from the rookie list this week.

We could have played a worse team but it should be enough to lose to Sydney who are shocking :lol:

Now all we have to do is play rookies against Freo and we may finish on less than 5 wins!!!!

PPs here we come....hopefully :mellow:

Can't say any of this is a suprise really!

Wouldn't think that Jordie will play though, however I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Exciting times ahead!

Given that we would have paid the expense to promote him, I'd say he'll play.

Outstanding work from the selection committee. Quite simply the most hilarious team changes I have ever seen. I'm so glad the club is as keen on securing Tom Scully as most of the rest of us.

Miller and Newton back in!? Miller needs to play the game of his life or he is gone. Same goes for Newton

Grimey out?

Hope Mackenzie and Bail play, would love to see two debuttants.

Can't believe Green is injured, where's the Scaphoid?

Can't believe they'd play Miller before Robbo.

Looks like cool heads have prevailed. It is very important to ensure all young players are put under the blow torch to see whether they are up to it at the highest level. This includes putting players in unfamiliar positions to develop flexibility. This way informed decisions can be made when evaluating the list at the end of the season.

The club should be congratulated for its proactive stance on list management.

Make no mistake - this is purely list management and has nothing to do with priority picks.

The AFL after all knows all and tanking is fantasy and does not exist in the real footy world.

Seriously knee and hand injuries need to be taken with extreme care.

    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,

    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
