  • 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.

Forget these suggestions of Clark for captain... should be Jones... if anyone leads by example, he's the man.

Huge half coming up for the side. Good first half showing but the players have to commit mentally to backing it up.

Trengove is on thin ice and should be subbed for Sylvia if he doesn't pull his finger out. We need more from him. Much more.

Not sure how to kick goals without the quick give to a loose player from a stoppage. Morton is an outside player, sure. But that doesn't mean he's useless. Far from it.

Just don't think ANY player should be a 100% outside player. Sometimes you have to go in and get it yourself no matter who you are.

Not many, but I've played even fewer. If I can see his problems, surely he should be able to see them too.

I've actually been pretty happy with Tom Mac. He is getting the AFL game fast track, and fair enough. He will learn heaps playing on Riewoldt. He was a bit at sea in the first quarter but has done well in the second.

I've also been happy with Morton and Davey. Both look like they are enjoying themselves out there. Davey in particular.

I love the way Neeld has set this game up with one on ones all over the ground.

Stuie, you see what you want to see. this team needs diversity. If we had all inside types we would be useless. Morton is not a Lenny Hayes type. As long as he can neurtralise the inside stuff and continue to run, spread and dispose, he will be a very good player. I see Morton developing under Neeld and the other coaches

That is what I was referring to earlier - for basically a first year player given Reiwoldt as a match up he IS doing a fair job.

Layed a ripper tackle on Goddard which I'm sure all the haters missed.

I think that he is showing that he has the physical attributes, just needs to work on his composure.

Reminds me of a kid called Frawley a few years ago.

To be honest, he has adapted well as the game has gone on. If he keeps this up for the rest of the game, he'll have done a great job.

    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.

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
