  • 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.

The boys are back on the track officially as from tomorrow -Dees itching to start training

I think a few of the older heads have more time under the collective bargaining agreement but we don't have that many vets at the club so there should be a good turn out of players on hand.

I suppose it would be handy to know where and when so that our regular track watchers who might have some time on their hands could have a look and provide us with their opinions as to who is going to be the club's next best thing.

With the advent of the delisted free agent, we're also likely to see a return to bygone days for a short period between 1 November and 13 November. Clubs which secure such players will be able to have them at training almost as soon as they're signed up so if you're at training, keep a watch out for any new faces.

I observed our training session today, and was quite impressed with what I saw. The boys looked very tuned in to what they were doing and were moving quite freely. Get those rugby posts down though.

I dont think many here will care as none of the aforementioned are MFC players.

Mahoney said much of the first week would focus on testing and assessing players.

“Officially, we start training on Monday. But it’s also an introduction into meetings and skills,” he told melbournefc.com.au.

As far as when training starts and whether we have access, things look pretty vague.

I'm waiting for next week at the earliest.

The assessment of the players is something which the FD is not going to take lightly. I understand that this time last year there were some surprises about the results which showed up the players who hadn't placed a great amount of emphasis on their basic training programmes during the end of season break. MN has said recently that he doesn't expect any surprises this time which suggests that the club has weeded out those who aren't particularly fond of hard work.

Is dawes back yet?

Think he's still overseas. Should be back in a couple weeks along with Byrnes who is also still on holiday and Jamar who is currently on his honeymoon.

Both boys would be knee deep in Year 12 exams would they not? Be surprised to see them before later november.

Aside from Diabetes and CFS? He was sent in for some clean-up surgery after last season, before Casey played finals. This rather upset the Casey coach given he was their most productive forward.

It was his ankle, was on crutches at the B&F but said he would be ready for pre season anyway, it was just a clean up, apart from everything else that was thrown at him, he had been playing with the ankle since arriving at the club........he hopes everything is behind him now and he can finally just play footy...on the diabetes front...he has a program mapped out

He looks a very strong individual.

He has a big year coming up in his footy career...

Good luck to him.

Fitzy was at AAMI last week doing a running program, so he's up and about.

Also saw quite a turn out last Friday - Jetta, Trenners, Watts, Howe, Dunn, TMac, Nicholson, Gawny etc

I feel sorry for Joel Macdonald

Looks he will be the one who will cop the brunt of the disgruntled 'supporters' now that the aforementioned Cook, Morton and Gysberts aren't here. Hopefully Barty comes good to take some heat, although if Rodan, Peterson and Byrnes aren't in line for the Brownlow they may also cop the rough end of the stick around here......

Edit: apparently I can't spell 'Stick'

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
