  • 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.

He slows down and looks at the ball for AAAAGES before he kicks

He looks like he's in Auskick when he's about to kick the ball. Takes the time to ensure his form is right, but doesn't seem to realize that he is under pressure, and by the time he actually kicks it there's no chance it will ever hit a target

cox playey 17 games in his first year. Jake has play 9 over 3 years (6 2010, 2 2011, 1 this year)

give him time.

I can't believe you just compared him to Cox. Fair enough, let's look at the whole story and compare them at the same age.

Grimes and Tappy done nothing? Not hearing much about them on the radio, Sylvia running at 46% but at least he is getting his hand on the footy

Let's be realistic about Spencer guys, he's probably our 4th or 5th option in the ruck, so if you want to be fair, compare him to someone who's a similar option.

In normal circumstances, the order would be Jamar, Clark (as backup), Martin, Gawn, then toss a coin for Spencer and Fitzpatrick.

He's a depth player, we need them, it would be pointless to have 5 superstar ruckmen and no money for any other players.

all i am saying is he gets a blasting all the time, buit he has played 9 games, how can we judge him yet.

i chose dean cox as arguably the best ruckman in the competition.

if jake ends up even half as good as him we will be happy.

Exactly not fair to compare them, lets try Cox and Jamar and give Jamar a hard time instead

What the [censored] is the point of a video review system if they're just going to make the wrong decision anyway? #burndownaflhouse

And what's the point of it when they have only 1 or 2 angles and can't tell anyway?! We've been robbed 3 times this year now.

They've gone over the umpires audio from that goal review, the goal umpire said he believed it was a goal, yet when the video umpire said "inconclusive, umpire's call" the goal umpire calls it a point?!!!!!!

what i am suggesting is he is not doing that bad really, for a 9 games, 3 over the last 2 years. let him have some game time, and he may surprise us and become a great ruckman

we dumped jolly because we thought he wasn't good enough. and he looks pretty good at the filth. lets not judge spencer too early.

    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

    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.
