    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.

Terrible news.

Gees his had an injury riddled couple of years... Dak Prescott has looked good in the pre season whether he can take that into the regular season or not...

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Yeah, he's been quite impressive by all accounts ... regardless, that division (NFC East) is always a total mystery anyway. 

Any team can win it but Dallas will miss Romo ... I picked them to win the division but I'll stick with the tip because they've probably still got just as good a chance to win it as the other 3 teams.

Be interesting to see how the Eagles go with their new QB (Wentz)

Been moving house so haven't been able to keep up with everything. Romo hurt again is not much of a shock. Is weeden still their back up? I'll post my predictions during the week as of now I think Oakland, Pittsburgh, and the Jets will be good and those packers look fit and firing again. Vikes O line is still a mess so I'm not so confident this year.

Not long to go now ... final practice games on Thursday night and then we're into it.

In the meantime I'll post up all the playoff game highlights from last season ... 2 games at a time for the next week and a half.  The links will take you to youtube where you can full-screen the highlights.

Ouch, thats awful. Don't stress your back up QB will still probably be better than all three of ours. 

Remember Shaun hill? Pretty sure he was a ram for a while. It's all good my life is over but I'm fine.

Oh yeah.  I remember him...

In his defence we didn't have any wise recievers or an O line...

Now we have an Oline I think....

Rotten news mate ... I was expecting Teddy to take it to another level this season too.

Yeah I know it was only pre season but all of his plays were downfield throws of 20+ yards. The plan was to throw deep and run with AP opening up big plays with the play action passing game. This year will remind of the Christian Ponder era where we pass the ball not for yards but just to give AP a rest.

Aaaaaaaaaand Goff is number three on the starting QB.

Sigggggghhhhhhhhhhh

From memory these arrangements often start out this way but any change could happen quite quickly if the outcomes don't come up to expectations. 

Win early and Goff has to wait ... but if you lose games early then Goff may well get fast-tracked.

You think ? Mannion took majority of snaps today. Game 4 of pre season is a joke, it's literally a game 90% filled with players who will wind up on the practise squad... Jags held out 28 players from the Falcons game!

After completing 3 of 4 passes for 53 yards on the opening drive, he was a disturbing 3 of 12 for 14 yards with two turnovers on the final seven first-half possessions.

The Rams' quarterback of the future finished his first preseason 22 of 49 (44.9 percent) for 232 yards (4.73 yards per attempt), two touchdowns, two interceptions, three fumbles and a 55.8 passer rating.

Perhaps most telling, Goff has shown little awareness -- struggling with snaps, taking too many hits and failing to process at NFL speeds.

 

Only hope Fisher gets the sack week 2...

    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

    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
