  • 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.

DL7 ... just tried to enter the Stynes league but it says it's full ... RR

Sorry about that RR had a feeling It may happen. May need to simply ask each member for their username to pair because someone has clearly put themselves in the league. I do understand some people's scores may be high enough to see them deserve to be in it but sadly it was a first come first serve basis and once we shut the entries it was unfair on people who made the effort to get me their scores early. If you're in the Stynes league can you please leave your username here because I will have to boot the non responsive members to make room for RR and anyone else who was in that league.

Thanks DL7, no biggie. Happy to go in any of the leagues if there's a spot. As it is I won't be able to put as much time into it this year as I'll be O/S for the bulk of the season. My username is (surprise surprise) Range Rover.

JT my team looks very similar. I am also undertaking the guns and rookies approach similar to you. Got a few mid range players I'm confident with though. Do you know if you trade people in to your team between the GWS game and the next week if it'll use a trade. Certainly hope not or we'll all stuffed.

I think there are 3 seperate lockouts, the first one this week obviously for Sydney and GWS, then thursday night for Carlton and Richmond then the final lockout.

any of my picks that you dont like? eg. the midpricers in Grimes and Danger? not 100% on Grimes coming back but he is value and i dont know who else i would go at his price anywhere on the ground?

Nah I think you're pretty close to bang on. One defender I like is Tomas Bugg from GWS, I think he will play alot and get consistent touches. Have a look but none of your players jump out at me as poor.

Dangerfield is one of my mid rangers he'll turn himself into a top 25 player this year. Reading has led to me believe he's taken about 3 minutes of his 4km time, and that fitness base was holding him back.

Grimes is a risk. TBH I'm leaning towards ignoring him because wasting a trade on a player you want to hold on to for the year is costly but he could be a good point of difference to other teams therefore give you a hand up.

Guess you have to take risks haha!

    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
