  • 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.

Davey Out for 2

Anybody at all think that this injury may have been holding him back??

Davey is a forward that has been turned into a mid fielder due to his disposal, he will never get used to tags, in reality we should have 2 or 3 blokes that get tagged ahead of davey but he hurts the opposition the most...

Lay off Flash, he has done enough for this club to deserve a bit of bad form.

but this is the MFC where the supporters don't actually rate any of the players

you can be a lifelong fan, vice-captain, hard as nails and be coming 4th in the brownlow and you still aren't rated

What i don't understand is why did it take till thursday to send him for scans, why not monday at the first chance or even last week?

With knee soreness, they would have tested the mechanical structure of the knee thoroughly. Once that was found to be sound, they would have treated it internally and hoped that it would settle down of its own accord whilst mindful of their ignorance of the source. When it did not settle down, they got scans and discovered a small tear in the cartliage. Davey will have an arthroscopic procedure to clean this up. Quite normal practice.

Maybe soft because of the knee?

Just more excuses. I'm sure his knee wasnt to blame for him not going at that contest where he put one arm up in an attempt to mark the ball while thinking he might get crunched. You dont see Hodge doing that even if he was injured.

Bad form I can live with but being the VC (and no doubt very close to being the captain) being soft is NOT acceptable. Does not set the right example for the young fellas.

Seeing as Nicholson was the only one announced as coming in for their debut, maybe Strauss could be the other inclusion? If it was Howe or Blease i'm sure they would've announced it along with Nicholson.

In some way I agree, but seriously Davey is not a "hard" player.

Im not happy when he shirks a challenge, but im pretty sure he would of een told to hold his feet and use his pace to beat the opposition player.

Last week when he went up half hearted for a mark on the ST Kilda 50m would be in his mind. Could his knee of prevented him going up 100% maye, but the fact is no one will ever know.

Either way I dont think we will see Davey go up like again.

geez there are some harsh things said out of frustration.

He broke his leg last year and is obviously nursing an injury combined with a form slump, but great players like Davey will come back.

Davey has never been our hardest player but easily the best kick in the team (in a different way to Tappy smashing it 60 from defense).

We are obviously hurting on the injury list but i think if we suddenly expect Davey to become a Moloney-esque hard nut, its just not going to happen.

Shirking the contest last week wasnt good but wow, not in our best 22......kidding yourself.

Flash is still easily in our best 22, come one guys!

Sad news for us fans, because Davey on fire really adds to the viewing experience. Hopefully he can get himself right. Sure he was disappointing against the Saints, but he is still Aaron Davey and we need him.

I like it how he's out for 2 wks, yet the actual scans dont take place til tomorrow (today now) LOL....

Love the bloke but perhaps a rest will do him good. I havent lost faith, he will be a gun in a good team, but still gets too much focus at present.

GOOD LUCK DAN NICHOLSON.........

    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
