  • 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.

Gain fitness in the AFL rather than at a lower level where the intensity is much lower and the standard is poorer. Getting 30 disposals in the VFL isn't of the same value as the WAFL/SANFL imo so the only way to better himself is a run in the 1's!

His preparation might not be up to scratch? There are standards and expectations now...

I like Gys and I hope he lifts.

I am getting seriously annoyed at seeing Watts out, how is it a player can have test against him name for so long and not play. Is something else going on here? Does he keep aggravating it at training? Would it be worth us putting him on ice for the last rounds?

T-t-t-a-a....list management.

The guy has his first game back, is a true midfielder rather than a stopper such as Mckenzie so we are minus one ball winning mid, and stops a midfield rotation and puts pressure back on Moloney.

He has a footy IQ, something I don't see from Mckenzie, and he has great distribution from the packs. Give the guy a proper run for God's sake.

Yes Mckenzie is good at what he does but God, we need mids and he is one!!!!

I think Workrate is more important, prior to getting games. He's got to impress all, including his fellow peers.

We've all heard his fitness issues aren't up to it, Yet.

Not happy with gys being dropped and pretty much for Jetta who still to this day has shown less in all his games compared to Gysberts.

I still do not know what people see in Jetta. I've seen nothing that has convinced me that he should be getting a AFL game.

The team list on the football oval graphic (if that makes sense) that is emailed out has Jamar named and not Spencer.

I think he's one of our best tacklers and is much more useful to the side than Gys, a la McKenzie.

The lack of consistency and the obvious playing of favourites from our selectors is just mind boggling.

What has Strauss done (ever) that is better than what Gysberts can contribute, even below full fitness? Why do we try duds like Bennell in 15 different positions looking for one he can cope with, when Petterd gets left in a forward pocket each week and then dropped the week after?

Why are Z-graders such as Dunn and Jetta rushed backed in after suspension, whilst those that do the right thing wallow at Casey?

Why can't the club be honest with its injury list, instead of just releasing tripe each week? Don't tell us Jack Watts is a chance to play against Richmond when he still isn't right a month later.

Oh, and if you are going to bother elevating rookies, maybe you should play actually them when you do so.

Does anyone think Watts might be doing a pre-season very early?

I do - wonder how he feels about it.

I reckon they're probably giving him 6 weeks off his ankle, and making him lift weights and eat lots of chicken. He'll be abit more built, and his ankle will be right in October and he'll be ready to run...

Makes sense, I suppose.

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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,
