  • 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.

I am only naming them after the event. We are a cursed club. It has to change. No club in history has had to contend with what this club has been dealt this year.

Not sure that Fitzroy fans would agree with you Redleg.

They got dealt some pretty crappy hands in their last two years.

Seems it’s gone the way of the Joel Smith tests positive thread aka the Demonland Bermuda Triangle.

It was not that long ago people were saying the Dees would fall apart without Hogan. Glad to see they were wrong. I tend not to follow ex players as I lose interest once they leave the club. I mu

On another note , it never fails to amaze me how often we draft a player and then he is out for most of his first or second season. Just some examples recently Taggart, Gawn, Evans, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Jurrah, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Tynan etc.

How could I have forgotten the Captain- Jack Grimes.

Agreed. Didn't help that the AFL was dealing most of those cards from the bottom of the pack........

I am not certain on wyl, you may well be right of course he may be going to both.

If you are trying to bait me DC it works every time with N0.7

I am going to the Brisbane game with my brother who is a Gabba Member so we get to eat and sit among the upper crust of Brisbane.

It will not look very good to be seen lying on the floor in a fetal position crying.

So please No.7 at Casey this weekend.

PS Once again I forgot to use chrome!

Still think he could make it. I would play him in the FP this week in place of Flash. I would tell him if he doesn't apply a strong forward press he has no future at the club. Think that would stir him up.

I doubt there is anything that would stir him up, you cannot pull up your socks if you do not have any on Redleg

Threat of delisting may work wonders.

Every time I see Lewis Jetta play I feel sick, thinking how we could have had him as a rookie, after Neville's mum told us about him.

Surely not Daisy . He has never been a fan of the youth policy to my knowledge.

I trust that he is not involved in the drug trade either-unless as a customer.

Other than that-you would have to wear a "Kim Bradley won in Vegas " T-shirt to get locked up there surely?

I heard that Lewis shadowed Keiran Jack all pre season - has bought his fitness to elite levels.

I can't help but wonder which of our underperforming players - JB, Morts etc would lift to a surprising level given the same chance.

That is a cultural thing and Neeld and Craig are attempting to change ours. Near enough is not good enough.

Sorry Redleg no amount of fitness will cover a lack of skill and desire.

Back to WA for me.

Lets face it we are third last on the ladder 5 years into a rebuild.

We must have a number of players that are not AFL standard.

No. 7 is not on his own but in 9 weeks time 5-6 players should be for the high jump.

IMHO no7 is in the lead group

    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

    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.
