  • 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.

I have a feeling there will be some changes, but maybe not the ones we might think.

I think the obvious In, is Sylvia if passed fit.

But who else? I wonder if newboy Gysberets, will find his way?

Cheney/Yes or No?

Martin I feel Rnd 4.

Gysberets is so new i've never even heard of him!! :wacko:

Sylvia you'd say would be in if fit. He'll take someones spot. Someone else may come in to replace someone else. Take that to the bank!

Jack Watts? why not give him a crack?

Watts is injured for a few weeks.

I think we have to go in imagining that we're playing Collingwood, because we REALLY want to beat them and that's why we played so well on Saturday.

Sylvia in for Newton. Dunn to stay forward. In effect a little shuffle.

Newton may be hard done by, only getting one game. But he isn't going to be given solid chances until he can shown some of his VFL at AFL level, and has to deal with that because it is simply fair enough.

Rivers (if fit) in for... I guess Bennell, leaving Bail and Bartram to stay as the small defenders, since they are actually defenders and the message of preferring their ethic is important.

(No hard feelings at Bennell, I just think he needs time spent at the lower level focusing on defining his role)

I Watts to see Watts in full flight just as much as the next guy Watts to see Watts do Watts Watts does best- but whilst Watts Watts be ready for a couple more Watts we will just have to Watts this space, I mean Watts else can we do?

I would Watts to hope we have the same Watts to beat every team just as badly as the next. I don't think we should go in imagining that were playing Collingwood.. the matchups will be all wrong for a start.... WATTS!!

Go Dees.

Bring Martin in to pick up Tippet? Tippet usually has a day out against Melbourne.

He kicked five goals in the NAB Challenge match we played against them, but I think three were gifted to him from free-kicks. Warnock played on him, so if we're going to bring Martin in, I'd prefer it to be to replace Newton. But I'd keep Newton in for at least another week for the sake of team continuity.

There are 3 players that will potentially have a day out if we don't pounce early - Tippet, Walker and Dangerfield. Whilst I respect the rest of the team, the gut-wrenching run that our youngsters now provide, will be too much for the older brigade. Hopefully DB will get the message across, run, run, RUN.

Newton must stay in. He was good on Saturday, providing plenty of hard blocking for Pettard and Green. Depending on match ups, the only change would be Sylvia for Bartram.

Munchie is a beastmaster who feeds on the blood of his pray.. don't be fooled by his dosile appearance- he feasts on the hopes and dreams of our competitors.

Actually he reminds me of that old yellow pages recycling monster man. Remember when they tried to make recycling fun by dressing up industrial bins like Barney the dinosaur? Ahh the 90's.. simpler times, with a simple society, coaxing us into doing the right things with the aid of fictional characters and bright colours. Obviously drugs were rife

I want our best defender in his FACE from opening bounce! I don't want him to gain ANY confidence whatsoever! I want Frawley on him and he must wear him like a glove!!

Tippet hasn't taken off this year yet, he can do this next week! I say this regardless that he is on my supercoach team- thats how much I love the dees, i'm sacrificing my accomplishments in a meaningless internet game!!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
