  • 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.

Isn't it funny how well a player can play when he is played in the position that he has played all his life. Morton was an elite midfielder at junior ranks, we have been trying to make him something he isn't a defensive utility.

Casey V Sandy HUN

Amazing to read the Hun report as opposed to the reports from here.

It seems as if Jurrah and Sylvia were amazing yesterday. Wow!

Youd almost wonder whether the Hun was actually there or got its info secondhand :rolleyes:

BB everyone see's things differently.

Just look at Demonland, some think a certain player is a champion and others think the same player is a dud.

IMO Sylvia should stay at Casey another week but he will probably return.

I have wanted to play Warnock for the last month but he stays at Casey.

Just depends on your view I guess.

Soory Old..youre right of course.. It just seems far too predictable piece of fish wrap coming from the HUN..was it written Friday ?? lol

Im with you that Col ought to stay there..but doubt he will. Id happily bring in Warnock...and rest......lol.. well many could fill that in for me :rolleyes:

Id treat maybe al lbar the WCE as "development" and trial some kids... who knows what we may unearth.

even though he has only played one senior game back from a long term injury at Casey I would be tempted to play Fitzpatrick.

Saw him a bit last year and a couple of times before he got injured.

Shows a lot of promise but it may be 1 week early.

Stones...glass houses...it all gets a bit messy, really.

Like Rono, you might need to be reminded of your greatest hits.

Why don't you spend some time telling the kiddies about how you rated Brock Mclean as the next MFC captain because of his "competitive instinct" - remember, you said it was that part of footy that you cannot teach and that Brock had?

Or that wonderful summation of Garland being the 2nd worst footballer to wear our guernsey?

Ah, what a wonderful thing "instinct-driven" judgement is!

Listening/reading Viney's comments on the Casey game it would appear that Sylvia had a specific job and things to work on and did what was required of him. The best players are obviously those who had the biggest impact on the game but that doesn't mean Sylvia or Jurrah didn't perform to the standard Viney expected of them. He also made mention of Morton's game. I would love to see both Morton and Blease back for the Demons this week.

Jack Fitzpatrick is 200cm forward who from all accounts is on track and did well on the weekend. The West Coast defence is good but not overly tall. I think he might be worth a chance. What do we have to lose? We have not kicked a lot of goals over the past two weeks and would assist Jurrah, Silvia,( believe they should be in) Watts & Green from a bit of heavy work.

Robbie Campbell is also a big bodied unit unlikely to be fazed at all by Cox,Lynch,Nic Nat and co. With unfortunate injury to Strauss could be the time to check his value on the list and a real challenge for him personally.

Tom McDonald 194cm defender and we may need some size back there as well. Maybe worthwile to have as the sub as he can play both ends.

I wouldn't be disappointed if they all got their chance from Casey this week..

Actually it's best I clarify your misrepresentation. I never said that about Garland and while I was an advocate of McLean in 2006 I also recognised 3 years later that the game had passed him by. I was in favour of trading him.

    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
