  • 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.

From Dean Bailey on the MFC Website.

“I think it’s an important aspect for us for the rest of this year - that [Jack] Watts, [Liam] Jurrah, [Colin] Sylvia, [Matthew] Bate, [Jamie] Bennell and [Aaron] Davey start to get some continuity down there,” he said.

Would indicate that Bate won't be dropped although some are calling for it, also Bennell mentioned and if Maric is to come in who would he replace?

Also can't see Warnock getting a go I think they are just letting him know he is close, same with Wonna.

Agree Robbie F.

Moloney could be a late withdrawal this week??? No inside info just that he was carrying a niggle this week. Maric might come in. Warnock and Wonna to miss.

Hit it on the head!!!

Wont be any further changes unless soemthing/someone else has any issue.

I must say, I usually have some interest on Thursday to see what the team selection will be but its less interesting when they don't actually announce any changes just an extended bench...I guess that the curse of playing so many games on a Sunday

Club still needs a small defender. Can Maric fulfill that role at this stage of his development? Play him on Lewis Jetta and see what happens. I guess we'll find out before too long.

out: Moloney

in Maric

And they could be letting Bate know he's "close" going in the other direction!

Would hardly think the ideal time to trial someone down the opposite end of the ground to which they have become accustomed to would be in their first senior game in 16 months. Hes had 14 weeks down at Casey with a chance to make himself more adaptable. Jetta would surely break his goal duck if that matchup occured.

No-one has advocated Bartram being dropped yet, despite being named in the 18. Whats going on?

Hoping to see Bate have a game in the 2's! He is becoming frustrating to watch. He needs to play to his strengths and ability, we he tries to take on players and have goal attempts from ridiculous places, brings the whole team down. Every week people on this forum are askin for Bartram's head, he's had his best season and every week he's getting the job done on the small forwards. I've heard Beamer is very unlikely to play and won't make the 22 tomorow evening. Do we bring in Maric or Aussie? Personally id like to see Addam get a crack, but we'll see what happens.

I think Maric will come in for either Moloney (most likely) or Green (less likely).

I hope for his own sake that he makes a good fist of it. He has shown nothing at a consistent level in his few previous games at the top level or in his many games at Casey over the last 18 months that inspires any confidence but sometimes players just need to be given a chance.

Good luck Addam. Prove me wrong.

dumb dumb call bate is a good player who is important for our lineup he provides a strong target around the chf region, yes he was rubbish last week but he will do a better job than maric.

I don't agree with the selection either. I think he's important to team structure on a high half foward slash wing. As a linkman if you will. I know Dunn can play this role too, but will they? Time will tell

    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
