  • 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.

Perhaps I can help. Dunn was an ordinary footballer in the worst side in the AFL. Sadly, it matters little whether he plays or not.

..but you would think he could get a game before players like Bell, Newton, Fitzpatrick, etc..if he was healthy

The second half of his 2009 wasn't too bad so if he goes ok in the last 2 pre-season games, I'm sure he'll be in the round 1 side.

Didn't he pull up sore after the intra-club?

Thought I would get one going as I am keen to hear reports on players.

Can't get there myself unfortunately...

Hope we see some big improvements from last week. I for one am looking forward to

Jurrah bouncing back.

Which players would you like to see some improvement come from? ?

Go Dees.

:lol:

I have been away for a couple days and wondering why davey isnt playing tommorow... and who else has been omitted for what reasons?

I see that newton is back in, which isnt such a bad thing i dont think, sure he is a spud, but we need someone to kick to.. besides jurrah.

So could someone fill me in with the ommisions and daveys reason?

Thanks

nope? no one?

Davey appeared to cop a knock in the intraclub practice match and then had minimal impact and only played in the first half against Freo.

Nothing major I don't think.

All of them. Including the ones who didn't play last week.

I would also like to see the Bombers forward line fall on their collective face and give us a real glimmer of hope for our game later in the season.

Excellent. Newton's in. I hope he plays and is given the opportunity he deserves. Melbourne needs a forward. Even a crap one will be better than no one.

I'm sorry.

Did you actually say that Newton 'deserves' an opportunity?

For doing what exactly?

I'll probably be keeping a close eye on Grimes, Jurrah, Trengove, Bell, Frawley, Scully, Maric.

I'm usually pretty useless with player analysis in live matches however.

LJ's probably a given atm..

I prefer to watch the overall style and play and wait for players to announce themselves to me.

A good Eg: Scullys last half, last quarter in particular.. wow. Best 1st game Ive seen in a long time.

A re-watch of the game confirmed this for me and i wonder if some missed just how good it was due to the circumstances!

A sharp, sharp mind.

jetta's reason might be the fact that he was rubbish. do not think he would be close to making our best 22 if wona and maric are playing well.

Yeah, for some reason he's very underestimated here at 'land..

I think he's a big part of our future. His 1st year was as good as Bennys imo.

Kicked some great goals and had impact like his cousin lewis had recently with the swans..

the difference being the swans win games, so its noticed.

May end up on a wing / davey-type HFF..(with LJ, wona, possibly maric they can all fit if warranted)

His instinctive, natural style wont see him go unnoticed for much longer imho.

EDIT: Pretty much everyone was terrible tho Demonator.

At least he got some game time on the biggest, best ruckman in the league atm.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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,
