    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 know I'm a good show to get pasted for this, but I've been watching the Dees on YouTube and I'm planning on being cryogenically frozen until the start of next season. Just like Cartman waiting for the release of the Nintendo Wii, I can't bear the wait.

Here's my team for Round 1 next year. Very hard to assemble. A combination of getting the young kids out there and also getting our seasoned players out there with them.

Would love to see others give their MFC 2010 dream team.

FB: Bennell Frawley Cheney

HB: Grimes Warnock Rivers

C: Scully McDonald Bruce

HF: Green Bate Sylvia

FF: Petterd Jamar Jurrah

Foll: Spencer Davey© Moloney(VC)

IC: Trengove Watts Morton Jetta

Our backup in the case of inevitable injuries and match-up changes (how's the depth!!!???):

Martin

Jones (why couldn't I fit this legend in?)

Dunn

Johnson

Miller

McKenzie

Maric

Meeson

Not yet sighted, or have had long injury runs (and would love to see them back):

Garland

Wonn..errr Wonna... em.. you know

Blease

Strauss

Rohan Bail

I'm Big Kev: Excited.

....... Serhat Temel.....

Barry now cowers in a shower of eggs thrown by fellow Dees supporters...

Could happen but very doubtful

If we take him it would be late/rookie

and those players never become full forwards.

I think Bruce and Macca will do what they did in the last half of the season and play of a HBF and a BP respectively.

Garland would struggle to be up for Rd 1 in the AFL.

Scully and Trengove would be ready to go I would think. Strauss, Blease, Maric, and Wonaeamirri should push too.

I would love to see Watts play wing/HFF for 16+ rounds next year.

Bruce, McDonald, Frawley, Warnock, Rivers, Bennell, and Grimes to be the 7 in defence.

Davey, Moloney, Jones, Scully, Trengove, Jamar, Martin, Sylvia, and Morton to be the 9 to run through the middle.

Bate, Watts, Wonaeamirri, Green, Jurrah, and Miller to be the 6 in attack.

Injured players replaced by Petterd, Maric, Cheney, Jetta, Spencer, McNamara, and Strauss.

I think Aaron Davey would make a great captain but hasn't Junior already been confirmed in that role?

Anyone know?

Fair enough, Junior's also a very good captain. I was just a bit misty eyed at Aaron's re-signing for 4 years and at Beamer's heart-felt acceptance speech at the B&F.

I'm a Newton fan, so that's why I have him in, but realistically, Miller or Martin would come into the 22 for him round one you would think. I'm also a Dunn fan, but couldn't squeeze him into the side, I really hope he forces the hands of the selectors and earns a spot. Same goes for Martin.

I tend to believe that we'll structure the team along rpfc's thoughts.

I'd expect both McDonald and Bruce to play across the HBF and BP along the lines of the roles they played in the latter part of the year, with them spending no time in the centre and play a leadership/development role with the likes of Bennell, Strauss, Cheney, Morton and Grimes.

I think we'll see Blease, Jetta, Grimes and Morton to be rotated across the wings, with Jones, Scully and Trengove to be rotated thru the centre. I feel Trengove is the more ready of the top 2 picks to make an immediate impact and would like to see him in the guts in rd 1 (in lieu of Jones) and see him being rotated with Sylvia across the HFF.

I think we're very likely to see Green hold down FF in 2010 for the majority of games. Not only providing support and a foil for Watts (with Miller used sparingly), but also to assist in his development. As a leading forward from the goal square, I believe Green has the potential to kick 60+ goals and coupled with his accuracy makes him the ideal forward mentor for Watts and Jurrah.

This is pretty much where my head is at but don't forget Ricky Petterd, arguably the most versatile player next to Bruce.

Will look to be on a HFF or a wing.

Your the only one with Jurrah at full forward. I really like this idea. Let him play one out in the square, great on the lead, in the air and on the ground.

Makes sense to me.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.
