    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.

anyone who doesnt have someone like Wines, Viney or Brynes in there team is kidding themselves. My team doesnt have Pederson because im not sold we are getting him.

Neeld will also play Barry because every team needs a speadster (aborigional)

was just reading your post HT when rudely interrupted by a guy on the phone asking me if I would like my selected Wines discounted and delivered.

I take that as an omen that we have got him.

Or that I am mental for drawing a link between the two.

Watts McDonald Strauss

Trengrove Grimes Howe

Blease Clark Sylvia

Gawn Dawes Byrnes

Rucks: Jamar Jones McKenzie

Int: Bail Wines Viney Sub: Davey

Emerg: Magner Nicholson Barry Taggart Jetta

We are getting more games in players.. We are going slowly getting better..

Can't wait for players like Watts, Tappy, Trenners, Strauss, Blease, Grimes to get more game together..

We are not far off it all coming together..

I'd like to add Ray and Gumbleton to that team..

IMO Gumby could be an absolute steal if we could get him.. I'm off Pederson

Viney and Wines could potentially destroy the competition if we get them together..

I cant believe people are putting Gawn down as a round 1 starter?

Lets be realistic, he has not played much footy in the last 3 years and is still a monster young ruck. Lets be happy if he can just play a full year at any level and hopefully pop up for a few AFL games to build his experience

Wines is going to hopefully if GWS dont snare him be the best player for pick 3 we can get.

If we pick him up, it would be crazy not to develop him and give the boy as much gametime as possible..

F: Howe Dawes Byrnes

Rucks: Jamar Jones McKenzie

Int: Trengove, Pederson Viney Sub: Wines

Emerg: Petterd Taggert Bennell

Notes:

Tapscott needs to trim down a bit of his bulk and gain some pace

Watts needs to add muscle/bulk and not do as much running this pre-season. Lock him in the gym.

Petterd I'd like to see bulk up a little also, become more powerful - more like Stevie J

Sylvia to have an uninterupted pre-season...please

Howe, Sheahan, McKenzie, MacDonald and Bennell to bulk up and become more powerful and confident

Quite optimistic about both Sheahan and Barry who I think will play 6-8 games each this year.

Also keen to see Williams get a game.

Really worried about Bail's kicking still. Love him, but his kicking kills me.

Sadly I don't think Martin will be with us in 2013, nor Morton. If only he pulled his finger out and smashed the gym.

Taggert's a very good call. Have seen the boy play once and that was enough for me.

Evan's is the only surprise.

Good team!

Yeah really looking forward to seeing Taggert playing in the seniors. I think Evans will be a player and like the way he goes about it.

Regard Jetta, Dunn, MacDonald and Sellar as depth.

Aaron Davey has been a true blue'n'red warrior for the Dees, but he looks better in his suit up in the Betty Cuthbert Pavilion on match day than he does on the half-forward flank in 2013.

Just blind hope that he'll return to form I guess.

My team given the current state of our list, assuming we take Wines at 4. Obviously we may get Pedersen and another mid, and may lose Martin.

Back half a little top heavy for mine, but I think that's how we'll line up with Watts, Dunn and Garland all capable of playing small. McKenzie lucky to get a game, but gets a job as a defensive midfielder. Forward line looks much improved with Dawes and Byrnes in there.

thx pass

Davey did give the impression of running on the spot this year. Don't rule out a revival. Davey type will thrive on "coming to ground ball" via Dawes/Mitch. Still working on my team .

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
