    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.

Will Neville Jetta ever play again....seriously it's been forever

Tell me about it...thought he'd flourish in Neeld's environment but we'll never know.

Always had a soft spot for him after he dribbled through that goal against the Filth right in front of their cheersquad and pressed his index finger to his mouth. Copped an absolute barrage.

Tough kid and I desperately hope he makes it back.

From what i've seen online Jurrah has been dropping steadily, so i'd say progress is being made at a reasonable rate. Nev Jetta has jumped down a bit though, wasn't he at about 4-6 weeks just last week?

Would really like to see him get back playing, not so much for the team but just for himself, I hate seeing players lingering on the injury list like he has.

I love Nev too.He has a really good kick on him and I can see him as a "front and centre" crumber in front of Mitch-except that Mitch Clark never drops em .

I think Jetta is worth holding onto seasons end and I think we will. The lack of small forwards will work in his favor. His probably the best small forward we have. Davey and Lawrence arn't making the cut.

I don't know about that. I think sometimes he falls into the 'small indigenous player, therefore small forward' stereotype. I see him more as a midfielder. He's hard at it and can run.

Lawrence looks like he can play, but doesn't seem to get involved much. He could get lucky given our need in this area. If he kicks a bag soon he may hold on. Good build and has potential.

Last time 2-4 weeks lasted for 10 months so give it another 2 months and itll drop to 2-3 weeks

I agree olisik

My gut tells me it is doubtful we will see him again in 2012.

If correct he will have played a half a game for the year.

Of course if you know what goes the wrong way we may not see him again.

I think jurrah should be thrown into the mix as trade bait to be honest. I know people here love him but it looks as if he is made of ceramic and takes longer then usual to get over injuries.

Some clubs may be willing to pay something of value for him and i struggle to see him having any big impact at the MFC in the future due to injuries and off field concerns.

Who on earth would consider him at this point.

Unless there is a dramatic change in AS I doubt you would get an offer at 2012 trade time.

Don't know if anyone watched Misson's report online, but Jetta only a week away from getting back to Casey - and Evans the week after that.

On the other hand, he covered everyone on the injury list - except Liam. I found it a bit pointed, especially after Rudeboy's posts, but perhaps I'm reading too much into it.

Which of course, we never do at Demonland.

Jettas to skinny to be a midfielder. Not enough grunt about him in my opinion.

Are you sure you're thinking of the right bloke ? Jetta may lack a few things but grunt ain't one of them. If he was a step quicker I'd like to see him tried as a small defender. He relishes the physical side of the game & loves a tackle

If some of the injured players start coming back where does that leave Magner and Couch who were promoted from Rookies because of injuries to others?

We were able to elevate one at the start of the year due to having 1 veteran spot filled with Green (we can have 2 vets, but if we don't, we can elevate a rookie). That would take care of Magner.

As for the other rookies, Gawn is on teh LTI list, and will not be returning this season. That allows us to elevate another (Couch).

Mid season, I believe all Clubs can elevate another rookie.

As we have Couch and Nicholson as rookies that have already been elevated due to LTIs, and given that we now only have one player on the LTI list (Gawn), I'd imagine Couch would replace Gawn and Nicholson is the mid-season rookie elevation.

After round 11 clubs can play an extra rookie on a week by week basis; no requirements to elevate them to the main list.

    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

    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.

    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
