  • 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.

maybe only 4. should be right for the home run. He'll have a strong run home. LJ is one of the few great reasons to follow Melb these days.

How often does an injury start at a couple of weeks, and then keeps blowing out as the weeks roll on. Very frustrating, but it is obviously difficult to accurately predict injury lengths. Would almost rather them give more of a worst case scenario at the start.

There's a lot of reasons to be hopeful going into season 2012 but it seems LJ is not going to be one of them.

Still some weeks away from handling the ball and then he's gone have to find touch in the magoos before cracking it for a senior berth.. it's gonna take some hard work to get back in the caper.

I really hope he is a part of Neeld's plans, he is beautiful to watch at his best

even if LJ does take a while to get himself right he's still a gun. came back from a serious shoulder injury to be our leading goal kicker and lets face it he boosts MFC membership and for good reason. He's electric and watch him fire up second half of this year:) go LJ

You might have seen that olisik didn't just say Charles had a bad wrist, olsik also said Charles was a great player.

Charles was a great player. I read the comment and this is why I am Q?? Still don't get why the chuckle and the bad wrist analogy? Did I miss the joke??

A great player? Really?

I liked Sean Charles but he was far from an AFL great IMO.

Wayne Carey, James Hird, Sean Charles..?

That said, I bandy around phrases like 'great player' less easily than some; it's all relative.

Better clear this one up. slight misunderstanding here. I simply repeated Olisek.'s comment as follows " I think Sean Charles was a great player. With a very bad Wrist"

I can remember Sean Charles was very very fast and a beautiful kick. Not really a "great player" but a good one all the same. Did beautifully long torps though. The tone of "great" is what counts here :)

I just didn't understand the "Sean Charles had a bad wrist" comment in the general context of the LJ Topic. Then the subsequent "chuckles". What is so funny that one needs to chuckle?

... has been given the all-clear to train with the main group..

Think it's the main rehabilitation group. As opposed to training apart from the group, presumably as part of his sanction for drinking etc.

This is good news but none of it really matters unless he can somehow avoid jail time.

Where does your "somehow" come from? He denies the charges, and is released on minimal bail, but you would rush to speculating on sentencing?

Strange thinking for a "supporter"...

Hold your nerve, and don't talk silly talk

LJ claims he didn't touch him.If so, will not have any issue re jail.Getting back in the team, is his first priority and succeeding.He owes that to himself, family, great friends such as Bruce etc..

    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
