  • 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.

should Jurrah remain no. 48?

If he was given his choice of any number i would bet he would choose 15

Would like him to stay 48 personally

I think it was Rudeboy who told us that Liam would love to wear #15. I seem to recall its the number that both he and his father wore when playing for Yuendumu Magpies..

Keep him in No 48. We won a premiership in '48. Might be a good omen.

I want Liam to keep number 48 for his entire career. It suits him.

It is a unique number for a unique player.

By the end of his career he will be the most famous number 48 of all time in AFL/VFL history.

He will make that number famous.

I spoke with him at the Demon Ball about this. I told him I wanted to put his number on my sons jumper but would be filthy if he changed it. He said he has been offered a lower number but his locker is empty and wants to create his own history in that number. It is number 48 to stay. BTW great bloke - more than happy to talk to us.

I'm superstitious, don't change it. Remember what happened when the last Wiz changed from 33 to 8?

And Greg Blewett was my favourite player and is still my favourite player of all time. He had the most stylish cover drive I've ever witnessed and he pulled the ball better than Ponting. When he was on, he was brilliant to watch. He basically made me follow the Redbacks...that and I was born in Adelaide. Proud Victorian in the winter months and South Australian in the summer.:P

Good news. Stick with 48, LJ!

No.48 is fine by me too. He can make it his own.

It won't bother me in the slightest if he gets another. I just want to watch him take those one handers and him kick those goals over his head.

Did anyone see him pinpoint his kick to Miller for the first goal of the game? Genius.

loved it, especially because I had 5 on miller at 16-1 to kick the first goal

Stick with 48 for another year. Would like to see him take on the 23 though from Junior.

Majak Daw? Give him no. 51.

Good to see someone else on the Majak Daw bandwagon. I've seen him a lot this season and he kept improving every week.

Along with Jurrah he could be another cult hero down at the Dees.

Jurrah's had a break out year for the MFC, and has clearly earnt a number change.

should he change? what to?

i hope he dosen't, he could be the best no. 48 the AFL has ever seen.

In 15 years time, I hope we will be talking about up and coming potential stars and saying... I think we should give them number 48!

A good thread for my first post. ;) I agree with most that Jurrah should keep the number 48 and make it his own, though I still wouldn't mind if he changed to a lower number either. I'd choose number 9. Just as long as he doesn't change it soon after I get 48 on my new jumper next year. :lol:

    It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

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.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
