  • 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.

Is Davey Injured or not.

Whats happened to the run, the chase downs,penetrating kicking.

If not injured needs to take alook at his game.

it stopped when his head was slammed into the turf of the MCG.

I heard his shoulder's crook, which would explain his past few games.

Didn't stop him from putting a bump on in his first contest instead of the smother he should have made! Must have been his good shoulder. Very poot game but he wasn't alone there.

He struggles with a tag. He probably could work a bit harder to get into the game but he does need his team mates to help him out.

I'd agree with the tag call, but I disagree with the second. So often (particularly over the past 2 or 3 seasons) it's been painfully obvious that he's the only one creating and that all his team mates have needed him to spark them. He's not playing behind the ball like he did last year. It's simple really. He's spending the majority of games in the forward half, where he doesn't necessarily have the room to be as creative (hence his little dinky passes). I'd try starting him on a wing next week.

His little dinky passes has really peed me off this year.. so far.

Didn't bother Lennie Hayes to much.

You mean the same guy who hurt his knee, played out the next 2 quarters then required a reconstruction?

Bad thread IMO.

Copped a knock to the head and didn't look right to me when he came back on (after spending time off the ground trying to recover).

I'm not a fan of the little dinky short passes he tries to pull off to often, but he's not as big a problem as Sylvia atm.

it has not been just this week he has been off, i personally think he has mental issues with his hamstring, and that stops him from kicking through the ball, in fear of tearing it again

The chase downs that he was famous for, are few and far between nowadays. He still does it, but no way near as frequent. Perhaps he is smarter or reserving energy for the pill ? Perhaps it's a part of everyone's package and Davey has been asked to conserve energy ? Or, is he taking a back seat now and again ? What is happening there ? Or, has he lost a yard or two ?

Those chase downs were inspiring for his teammates, still are when he applies it. Opposition players were always looking over their shoulder fearful of being stalked by Davey and his pressure.

Given our current depth I think it would be appropriate for Davey to have "general soreness" - I think we should start thinking about regularly resting some players so that minor niggles dont progress into major problems.

I agree I think there were 3 times on Sta when he was at 50 and didnt shoot for goal instead sought a hit up and turned over the ball.

I dont see him really turn on the afterburners like he once did. I say let him have a week or two off.

No. There is no way that Aaron would miss the game in Darwin unless he was physically unable to play. If you have heard him talk about his family and friends and the inspiration that AFL is to aboriginal men and women that they can achieve and that he wants to be part of that inspiration. He often talks about his friends who could have made it in the AFL but succumbed to drugs and alcohol. I would like to see Aussie play with Aaron and Jamie and maybe even Neville and I also hope that the Club take Liam up to the game as well. I want everyone to see what an inclusive club we have become under Jimmy.

Davey will play in Darwin for sure. He would kick himself if he missed this one.

Agree with others, you should be more concerned with the likes of Sylvia and his current form. Not the Davey train.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
