  • 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.

Play Newton on Brown!!

Now I've been all for playing Newton all year (or most of it) His last chance I beleive this year to prove he is worth keeping. His last 2 games he has been servicable as a fill in ruckman,but so far he still hasnt done enough.

The limited time on the forward line today,he wasnt effective at all.

So IF Brown was to knock him into next year,I can move on.

And stop hoping Newton can step up another level. :)

Edit: typos (getting late)

Today he was superman, fair dinkum could do no wrong.

He's one powerful bloke, once he has got the ball he shows no fear if he is being grabbed at by one, two or three opposition players, he powers through them to hit a target by hand or foot. He & Grimes, early days still, but they must give the guys around them heaps of confidence.

He did lots of amazing things today. My favorite being chasing down Burton on the wing and knocking him off the ball. Then finished with a pin point pass

I thought Burton had him cold but Chip ended up doing it easily. Quality that lad. Pure quality.

Don't think this beast of a man-child is getting enough love on here.

I started a thread before pre-season stating he'd be AA THIS year. Many thought I was silly, and I'm relatively comfortable with my decision at the moment.

I reckon it's one of those awards you have to miss out on once (just in case your season was a fluke, a la Carroll) before you get it, and once you have that spot you'll be in line for it every year til you retire.

He's putting paid to the theory that CAC was a bad recruiter. Chip came out of NOWHERE in the last 2 weeks of his "superdraft" year. Already a sensational selection, and is probably, IMO, our most important defender. With respect to Rivers, Grimes and Warnock.

Body work is just A-grade!

Plays medium to tall and short.

But the best thing about him is he runs forward kicks long or dishes off and runs forward. Thats right not sideways or backwards. but get the ball out of defence with speed.

Grimes as well he has genuine footy smarts. reads play well and then goes wide or down the middle when asked. coaches dream

he's a great bloke too.

I remember at a family day a couple of years ago i was lining up to get some autographs and was just looking around and spotted chip walking in my direction. He saw me and came straight over to me, signed my poster and had a chat (I asked him for his tip for dreamteam). One of the nicest players i've ever met. The fact that i went to school in Ballarat and he's a Ballarat boy makes it even better haha.

I'm wrapped that he's hitting his straps, because i was one of the people defending him when some clowns on this site were saying he was useless and needed delisting (this was a couple of years ago mind you, but it did happen).

Anyway, Chip you are a champ son, keep it up!

    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

    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
