  • 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.

Well this will be interesting.

If Jack plays, you'd imagine Glass would go to him?

Worsfold says he will play with groin soreness

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/94115/default.aspx

Roughead just burnt him on the lead every single time in the last quarter on Saturday.

Good opportunity for Jack here.

Yep perfect.

Glass looked like a spud on the weekend, groin soreness or not.

Roughead torched him and he plays in gumboots compared to the way Watts will get around the ground.

Couldn't think of a more perfect time for Jack to come in.

You guys should check out Dean Bailey's podcast on SEN from the Saturday 8/05/2010. He was asked if Jack Watts will ever be a power forward, and bailey basically went on to say the same thing that Mighty Demon just said. Jack will be what Jack is...highlighting his speed, mobility, agility etc etc.

The obvious implication being that Mighty Demon is DB.....

Being called Bails or Mighty Demon is something I can live with quite happily. :)

I spoke to Jack this afternoon and he told me Dean Bailey advised him if he puts in a similar performance this week for Casey, He will be called up for the Darwin game. I wish I could put it in concrete but I can only say what Jack told me.

I'm happy with that approach, but I so dearly want to see him play on Saturday...

Thanks for that.

I'm desperately wanting to see Jack play live, but I trust the club's approach to his development.

He needs to show some good consistent form and really push for selection over a number of weeks. I still think he'll play 10 games this season, which would be a good outcome.

Sounds genuine, but the optimist in me says: why would JW tell random fans whether or not he's playing before the teams come out? If he is playing this week, he'd be told to keep it on the DL. Hence, he's either straight-out lying or telling the truth.

Makes sense i guess... lol.

Average post from me, really. Went round in circles. Sorry for wasting your time.

If you have read Steamins posts regularly, you would know that he has had some decent mail on JW before, so i am fairly certain he is is an old school mate, or something of that description.

And wouldn't you be a pessismist?

My apologies Dee-luded. I miss the VFL aswell!

No cheers mate.

If Jimmy wants us to be a great club we have to show respect to others as well as to our partners.

Casey is a great partner with fantastic facilities of which we've gone into a partnership with, and we need to welcome them with open arms, the club & the people of the region.

Lets make this a big winner for all our benefits.

Watts thread threatening to drop off the front page.

Hearing some noises around Watts being brought in for this week. The same noises were made from the same people last week regarding Danny Hughes.

Not that same wheel, can someone please oil it.;)

Thanks for the new thread. Just what we needed.

Why couldn't you have posted your opening post in the current Jack Watts thread?

Is your opinion on "People getting excited about a player" so big that it needed to be a new topic?

So we have two reliable posters in Bails and Steamin'...unfortunately one says this week and the other says the following week; flip a coin I say!!

Why do people need to complain about the new thread?

He is just stating how many people have viewed the thread, which is an amazing amount.

Because it's a new thread which is about how many people have looked at another thread. And then continued on with the same topic as the other thread.

Why couldn't he have just posted the opening post in the current thread?

    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,

    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
