    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.


Who will break out in 2011?

Spencer - Will be much more bulked up and whilst still full of errors around the ground will be very good at ruck work.

Watts - His experience last year and a decent preseason should give him so much momentum for next season.

Bail - Played some serious footy last year and should be ready to consistently perform from the start.

I'm hoping on Strauss, Blease, Maric and Jetta but not confident on any. The fact is that if all those guys have strong years it probably means others like Wona, Bennell, Tapscott and Gysberts don't. Morton I think should have a good year and get back some momentum in his career that was stopped by his injury this year.

I am going to name 3.

Morton - i think if he does not produce next year he might be put up as trade bait. CVan really see him taking the role Bruce used to play

Wonna - Must start producing on a consistent basis

LJ - Watch out opposition back line coaches, there could be some sleepless nights ahead for you

Everyone saying Maric but I am not convinced. Seems to me like he is not getting a fair go under Bailey and as such will struggle to improve. He is better than a VFL footballer but I fear that we are doing to him what Collingwood did to Medhurst this year. Break out year for mine is Watts and Strauss.

Expectations for Blease are low enough for him to really turn heads.

With Bruce gone, there is a spot that has opened up and some games could be had for Blease to show why he was drafted in the top 20.

Bennell. Watts. Aussie.

Bennell could be anything if he attacks that footy, has superb skills. Aussie similar, has an opportunity to set himself up next to Jurrah and should thrive, needs to thrive.

Watts, I have plenty of time for but expect a few impact games in 2011.

I'd add Jurrah. A full season of his full potential? Unlimited what he could provide to the game.

Strauss has plenty of area's he will need to show improvement in.

Some prominent game time into Gysberts, Blease & Tapscott will be great to see.

So many to name that are still at such a relatively early stage of their development. It's great!

I just want to see a red and blue thundering herd stampeding into the MCG.

There are so many kids with High Potential, i just want to see them play as an awesome team, i mean we still have a bunch who have yet to debut!! I have never felt this good before a football season before.

Thanks Stynesy and all the Board, for waking up this Magnificent Beast of a club. If we all drive it properly Journo's are going to be writing about us for years and years.

Lets just make sure that each year players want to come to this club....

Interesting to see some like-mindeds who share the notion it won't be so much individual breakouts but a team-lift. It's called synergy and can have a snowball effect. Even smallish improvements create greater belief. Players 'grow' a little taller, gain a yard, kicks hit targets and handbells become crisp and effective . Sort of like a tuned engine v rough one. Same engine ! :)

You will see the first 2 picks from last years draft start to impose themselves on games. Scully and Trengove will have big 2011. Who needs a big 2011 Morton and Watts, both these guys have a huge upside and great talent, time to show it on a consistant basis.

Addam Maric for mine although I said the same thing last year. It's sounds like he's on the right track though according to Josh Mahoney.

Addam Maric

He developed well in the VFL with Casey. He added some consistency to his game and he has turned up to pre-season in the best condition we've ever seen. We are looking forward to him taking the next step as a player.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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
