  • 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.

One sequence epitomised Joel Mac in the 2nd game on Saturday.

Granted the conditions were greasy, but he dropped an absolute sitter, then fought like hell to get it back, and broke away with the footy, bombed it forward, and in the end I think it may have led to Sylvia's goal.

Problem is, he shouldn't have dropped the mark in the first place.

Strangely enough it was his dropped mark and then fight to regain the ball against 2 opponents that set up the winning goal against Brisbane, I think he gets a rough deal on here, I think his biggest

Joel McDonald plays well for 95% of the game but is prone for 5% of the game to have brainfades that cost us a goal or two. Tentative may not be the right word as his attack on the ball and man I think is good however he is definitely prone to being hesitant in his decision making at times.

I saw Adrian Anderson saying on 360 that we get some huge amount fo inclusions at half time if we want them. Did I hear that right?

That was right for last week (allowed up to 12). This week its 18 starters + 2 interchange + 2 subs. Then at half time you are allowed to swap in 4 new players.

So with this 4 new players at half time, surely the 2 subs are worthless. But it seems like the afl are just making it different for the sake of it.

My lineup would be.

Bartram - Frawley - Garland

MacDonald - McDonald - Grimes*

Nicho - Couch - Jones

Sylvia - Watts - Howe

Davey - Clark - Blease

R: Martin - Magner - Bate

I: Petterd - Tynan

S: Bail - Sellar

Swap: Green - Rivers - Moloney - Jamar

With that in mind we should see Watts deeper forward with Martin and Tom McDonald. Selection is becoming easy an fit player gets a game.

Just stated on SEN that Moloney, Clark and Grimes will all miss the Pies games due to injury. FFS!!!!!

I was annoyed I couldn't go to this game because of a wedding - but with our omissions and by the sounds of the team that the Pies will have in, we should get pumped.

Hope some youngsters get something out of it.

According to SEN, Clark pulled up with a sore knee. Not playing due to precautionary reasons. Beamer pulled up with general soreness. Trengove has a sore leg and is 1 week away, and Tappy has a sore hip and is also a week away. They also spoke about Jurrah, nothing to add here with what has already been said.

I get the feeling the Hawks game will be the full strength hit out before round one. This week will about maintaining structures, particulary defense and having a look at new and fringe players.

Isn't he also carrying some kind of injury or recovering from an op?

I wasn't actually sure myself so I thought I'd put it out there but you're right he was coming back from something, not in the injury list but he may still be unavailable.

And according to Mark Neeld our coach he said in his presser that it was Mitch Clarks turn to have a rest - nothing about an injury.

And do you believe what SEN have to say???

I know who I'd believe out of the two.

Sorry but I do not agree with you.

Coaching staff have a reason to play down injuries and there are volumes of their recorded lies.

The media has a bent to find the truth and show they are providing the audience with the actual situation.

past records would be firmly in the "media's" favour.

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
