  • 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.

According to the MFC Twitter page they were being put through a watt bike session by Rachel Neylan (a World Championship Silver Medallist).

I think it's great how the Dees often seem to have quality athletes from other sports come in and show them a thing or two. It must make training more fun and dynamic for the players, as well as teaching them a thing or two that Misson & Co. may not have been able to do.

Gee did not last long

Was wondering how long it would take for two things to happen

- who would pick up grape connection

- who would be the first to tell me we are not picking Wines.

One out of two is not bad.

I was there and took some photos, will post a bit more later, spoke to Jesse Hogan, cool kid, lookin fwd already to playing in the VFL, target weight for him to play at 104KG, so just a medium sized fwd then

They had solid nearly 3 hr session outside, spoke to Howie on the way back in and he said weights and wrestling this arvo

Had John Muggleton from the Rebels this morning doing tackling technique

And how do I put a photo on here?

Fantastic, so hopefully no more of this sticking the arm out in hope stuff and stupid head high free kicks.

Another bit......had a go at Tommy Mc about how Nicho had his measure in the gut runs, shot straight back that he had beaten him in the last one.....which he did....just

Also watching Fitzpatrick and Sellar chasing the same ball coming towards you makes you wake up in a hurry on the sideline especially when you are tiny and frail..haha

When Muggleton was doing the tackling drill, he would stop and berate if not done properly pointed out a couple ot times and named players......best way to go

I was impressed today by Sellar, Davis, Nicholson, Tommy Mc, Rodan

On light duties today were Sylvia, Grimes, Barry

McKenzie, Davey and Spencer came out at about 12 and started doing light run through

Spoke to Evans, he is back running on the Anti G treadmill this week, they let him out for fresh air, thinks the issue with his back is fixed

That sounds promising, would love to se him play again.

104kg's on an 18yo frame is significant. He must have the makings of a beast.

The build of a Lockett with the tank of a Reiwoldt ... no wonder he was hot property.

It is the attitude as well, although a lot of people are still naysaying and expect MFC to be a failure again, Neeld is picking kids like Jesse Hogan.....I said to him he would have some men looking for his head in the VFL......he looked straight at me and smiled....can't wait to see him play

And spoke to Neil Craig.......he said the supporters deserve success and when it happens it will happen a lot, they are trying to build something....what has happened previously is not good enough

One bit that did impress me was in the last of the gut runs,, the last group had guys who had already done the runs and should have been stuffed, running alongside them encouraging them to achieve a better time....and Nicho and Tommy Mc getting to every guy and congratulating them......I even applauded the finish between Nicho and Tommy Mc

Whilst Grimes, Sylvia and Barry did not join in the long runs their session was far from light. They were doing timed sprints over and over and over. Exhausting just watching. The coach was calling out times to keep them sharp. Loving the attitude this year; staff have lifted expectations and the boys are responding well. I love hearing the encouragement to each other. All I want are best efforts and so far they are obliging. Go Demons

Is there another Reiwoldt that we don't know about? I know A Lockett (Anthony, aka Tony), but not sure who that A Reiwoldt is. If he's as good as either Jack or NIck, he'll be worth looking at.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
