    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 have a very bad feeling that we have seen the last of Austin Wonaemirri. I hope that the week after the bye when we play in Darwin that Aussie will be ready to come back down. I hope that while in Darwin Liam and some of the other Aboriginal fellas get around him and spend some genuine time with him and get in his ear to come back down because he is a talent that is being badly missed at the moment. I really hope that the man comes back to the club. Such an exciting talent and our only genuine crumbing forward at the club, the one crumbing forward that we cry out for week in week out. Please Aussie come back.......

I did see an article, can't remember where, saying he was really wanting to come back to Melbourne. Home away from home. He's enjoyed the time back up north and needed it but is missing the indigenous group, especially LJ

I have the same fear however I am not as impressed by his ability as you.

He might struggle to find a spot again this year.

His fitness has probably dropped and even if he came back to Melbourne next week

there are only 8 games till the season end.

Who would you drop to let him back in?

As well there are a number of players coming back from injury in the next month.

I think he will find it hard to get a senior spot now.

Confidence has risen amazingly in 3 weeks!

Lets assume your time line is correct who are you going to drop?

I hope he's got a smile on his face back at the Tiwi islands .

Love Wonna and his commitment but it's going to be a long road back if it happens at all. The longer you stay out of the team, the quicker others go past you and the game changes. A trade with GWS might be a decent option for all concerned.

A trade to gws??? good for who? not aussie i dont reckon, finding it hard enough in melbourne with a good support group let alone moving off to a strange city with a bunch of people he doesnt know. hell be back at mfc i reckon.

Bad luck to the lad, had some bad fortune. But from a playing perspective, hopefully he doesn't come back. A list clogger who doesn't offer anything that we don't have, and is nowhere near in our best 28 players. .

Doesn't offer anything we don't have? How about a quick crumbing forward who can kick goals? Sure he's been hampered by injuries and personal issues but when he is fit he adds a dimension to our forward line that no one else on the list can.

One can only hope. At the end of the day, family is bigger than footy. Hopefully he is able to get back to some sort of normalcy after the horror he's been through. If he is able to find a happy place for himself again, then i'd be extremely happy for him. Even if that means we will never see him again in the red and blue.

He will always have his place in Melbourne's history books. Leading the charge in MFC's greatest comeback of all-time. Not bad for a club draped in 154 years of history.

Wowsers!! Big call. I rate Adam Maric a mile ahead of Wona. Maric is obviously finding it hard to get a game at the moment, but he has a heap of improvement in him and is more versatile (can play midfield if required). I'm looking forward to seeing a more mature and disciplined Maric as a result of being dropped back to Casey, if a spot opens up for him.

I have some fantastic memories of Wonna and at his best you're correct he does offer something we currently don't have especially with his ability to go back hard towards goal from the forward press but will he ever get back to full fitness is the question.

Maric was once rated as a crumbing forward but considering he has a good mark on him and has played in the midfield this year I believe that he is now a small forward lead up target who can play chop out mid at times but very rarely. Maric has impressed at times this year but players are going back to Casey for reasons this year, maybe the club wants him to build his tank and play in the midfield or they want him to try and perfect the small forward role. I still believe that Wonna has more to offer, thats why i want him back.

Hope he sorts it out and can handle the big smoke full -time because he would certainly be one of the first picked if he's serious about it .Don't know much about Wonna but I love it when he kicks a goal if only for his celebrations .If Ricky Bobby can lay 14 tackles then Wonna can do 5 or 6 and he'll be picked .Love all the Bros at the Demons .

Aussie will be doing it hard for a while, after his and his families great loss.

I'd like to see the MFC help him through these dark times and offer Aussie a one year extention. On the minimum payments that is aloud in the afl, maybe even send a trainer up north to help monitor his fitness through the pre-season.

Aussie is a must keep for mine, hate to think that this is the end of Aussie's career...

The team will be in Darwin in a couple of weeks. No doubt Aussie will be there to catch up with the boys or at least someone from the coaching staff will catch up with him then. Let's wait & see what happens after that.

Might stir up some desire or at least help Aussie to make a decision.

I am not tatu IMO he has played only a few good games.

The rest have hardly justifed his place.

Spots are getting harder to get at the MFC.

It will be sad if he does not return.

But if he does not want to come back so be it there are others to fill the spot.

    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
