  • 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.

Melbourne signed two players who were 15 to play in the U19 because zoning was going to be scraped, the players were David Schwarz and Neitz.

Sneaky, to catch a crook, think like a crook. IF I am right,that 'missed due to injury' was too throw everyone off the track

Doug Heywood

Sneaky question, and damn good get if you are on the money.

Doug Heywood

Nice lateral thinking however Doug was dropped for the replay final in '48 to make way for Bobby McKenzie.

Wrecker Leahy meets the criteria but it's obviously someone else.

Hmmmm tough one.

The way it was worded made it seem someone that had a injury and couldnt play. So wrecker Leahy was my favorite.

When that was wrong, I was scratching my head. I keep thinking who got droped through an injury.

Bobby Mckenzie couldnt play because of injury in the drawn GF, Heywood got a game, McKenzie came back in from injury,in the GF replay.Heywood got dropped for McKenzie

Have to wait on the result. Gone to the photo :)

ah Jack our resident mfc expert, I got a question for ya.

When Schwarz was running around in the 2's wearing No44?

There was a young gun at FF. Chris Farrell,whatever happened to him?

I thought he and the ox were about par,but he disappeard off my radar.

If my memory is correct he wore No35 in the 2's.

According to Demonwiki:-

Chris Farrell

DOB: 26 March 1970

Games: 0

Goals: 0

From: Assumption College

191cm centre half-forward who was recruited in 1988 and remained on the list through 1991 but failed to play a senior game. Wore number 35 in 1990 and 1991.

Did you ever see him playing in the twos? he looked the goods. The OX was running aroung with his GI haircut. I looked we have got 2 gun forwards on our hands. Schwarz we all know, Farrell looked every bit as good. Perhaps training or studies, was all too much and he quit.?

My memory is a bit hazy but these reserves games I watched, was probably their 1st season on our list. For a talenetd footballer, I always wondered

what happened to him.If you dont know, I will die wondering :)

I'll accept your word on that. I'll stick with my theory,that Mckenzie came back for the replay at the cost of Heywoods spot.

Wiki has Heywood out, with Macca back after injury. We'll have to wait on the judges descsion, if I got it right .

Len Mann played in the 1960 premiership and was at the club in 1964. Not sure if he was injured that year but played very few games and definitely didn't play in the grand final.

Anyway, he's my guess.

Good guess. just cant confirm if he was injured, every chance he was.

Interesting point Deevoted, the publication I was relying on - '125 Years of the Melbourne Demons' by Greg Hobbs clearly states that McKenzie was serving suspension yet after stingrays post I checked 'The Grand Old Flag' by Lynda Carroll and she states that he was injured.

If that is correct I owe you an apology.

Perhaps Jack or someone else may be able to shed some light.

Heroes is a wonderful publication however it sheds no light in the comments on Bobby.

I was lucky enough to attend the Heroes dinner, sensational evening. Surrounded by legends of our great footy club.

No, Bob McKenzie missed the 1954 GF V Footscray because of suspension. (He had a fist fight with North Melbourne's Percy Johnson in the preliminary final). He did NOT miss playing in the1948 GF draw V Essendon because of suspension. He was out injured.

And you should know Bobby! :lol:

Don't forget however, that you did play in another grand final in 1955 when we beat the Pies therefore giving you the distinction of playing in a premiership in your first and last seasons at the club.

Lets not get into apologies, not everything written are the real facts. (looking at Gasoline Wilson here)

The books you guys are using for references, you would think, have been thoroughly researched before going to print.

I still liked by theory,it had a devious twist to it. I vote that it should be correct, even though our "QM" stated none correct yet.

Before my time, I never knew you had a mean streak. Nothing like a good stouse to relive some tension.

I hope it was worth it.

Not like Greg Hobbs to be making basic errors particularly when writing about an individual club. One of the better footy journos over the years.

    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

    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
