  • 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.

the only thing i agree with in your post, is yes you do answer your own questions, :wacko: do you stand in your bathroom at home and talk to yourself in the mirror, Bruce is finished,fancy blaming Mckenzie for Bruces bad decision, i hope Bruce kicks 5 goals tommorow, i dont want him to fail,i believe that his decision making is pathetic and hes finished. B)

The fact that you think Bruce's role is to kick goals just shows how little you know about him. I'm glad you want him to succeed, but just be aware that he's not, in fact, finished, despite you pointing it out time and time again without backing up your claims with any form of reasoning other than the catch-all cry of "terrible decision-making". If he were finished, then he'd be out of the team. As for the argument that he's not taking us anywhere, I would argue that wherever we get to in the future will be a result of the actions of the people who are there today. And that goes for off-field things as well. Bruce is a fantastic runner and in a game in which endurance and work-rate is key, I think he is, at the very least, a fantastic person to teach the work-rate required to play well.

Ok then, Mr Talent Scout, if you are calling Bruce a spud, tell us your criteria that a player must pass to be considered 'good' enough. I defy you to complete this exercise without making 3/4 of the league, and most of our list, redundant.

Scully turned the ball over 6 times against collingwood (not saying he is pathetic, he is far from it) where Bruce turned it over TWICE, the team efficiency average was 69, Bruce 74% he was in our top 6 in disposals... FYI Bruce toped disposals against Hawks and only had what seems live ONE turnover...

Bruce = Scapegoat

Look. You will get nowhere here using facts. How dare you. Using people's online anonymous prejudices against them with facts is just below the belt. Pathetic mate! :wacko:

A poster on Demonology stated that Garland is not in the Casey side... What are the chances he will be in tomorrows game?

It probably just means he'll be the 'active' emergency (depending on whether the other emergencies played). Whenever the emergencies are scheduled to play for the AFL side they always keep at least one out of the side to make sure one of their emergencies is actually able to play if needed.

Bate would be very stiff to be dropped, someone mentioned in a previous thread about Bate did clutch at the groin after Swan's smother and might not get up. He should not be dropped even if he is under done and needing of game time to reach his peak in about round 8.....

I disagree. I believe if they need to get form and are underdone they shouldnt be in the team. Bate is not doing what someone of his experience should be and I dont think we can afford to have someone working into form taking a spot of someone who is putting in at Casey.

I agree, MFC should play Bate like they are playing Watts. Sit Bate in Casey for 3 rounds ,get his fitness & form up then he can play the season out.

Yeah but of all the emergencies he's the one most in need of getting game time under his belt, so it's weird that he was the chosen emergency.

I have a weird feeling he's playing today. Of course I have no evidence to prove that whatsoever, but I live in hope ;)

Indeed, it is strange. You'd think he was either in or not.

Was thinking the same thing Jaded, Col needs gametime. If he doesn't play it was a strange choice.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
