    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.

I'm not sure what pederson has done to be selected at all, and Nicholson the only thing i can think of is he may have the pace to go with the smalls of carlton, Strauss and kent i can see being in the next top 8 Dees side so it will be awesome to get some game time into them

Not much use having the pace to go with the Carlton smalls ...He needs the ability to RUN at them and maybe beat them occasionally !!

Why should he be gifted an AFL game? Part of the bullish*t culture that Neeld is trying to eradicate. Make him work his butt off, run, sweat, play accountable footy, pick up a man, run in defence and

good luck Dean Kent, give them hell son

Do AFL rules allow him to wear the cape, and his underpants on the outside? Or does he have to wear the suit and the glasses?

Surely Pederson is an out!

He was woeful last week. Barely got a touch. He needs to learn how to get to more contests.

IC: Strauss, Tapscott, Evans

Sub: Davey

It was between Blease and Davey for the sub. Davey is a better sub player.

Blease to get form at Casey and come back to play full games.

Wrong Kent. Unfortunately Clark's out of the side. Coincidence . . . or something else?

Commentators everywhere will have a field day if Clark ever takes a hanger on Kent's shoulders.

"A Clark Kent special! Is he a bird or a plane?!" etc.

Jamar... Groin ????? Really ?? The usual "injury" excuse to drop an out of form player.

No, just the usual negative Demonland response to an injured player. Got nothing to say? Not a problem just Make Stuff Up.

He hasn't even trained this week.

Whoa !!! If it's just the usuall Demonland negative response to an injured player then why bother highlighting it ?? Everybody must be commenting similarly to every injured Demon player if that's the case... !! He has played his best games with the Dees , I believe.. Loved him when he was capable but sadly those days could have passed him by.. We just need to move on as we do with several others... There are other ruckmen we need to concentrate on and groom NOW !! Jamar will not be part of our future...Hardly ever marks aroud the ground or kicks goals anymore.. I am not picking on him just seems coincidental that when some of our players are performing even worse than others they seem to find an injury which didn't appear to happen during a game ????

Call me crazy, but I actually really like those outs. The ins are a bit of an unknown quantity, but they're all goers and relatively hard runners.

The "outs" all distinguish themselves by (low) output, application and intensity.

The "ins" would appear to offer a lot more.

Might have a modest wager after all.

Ins & Outs relate to the previous week rjay, not the squads named Thursday night.

As to the changes, I can't argue but I despair over the misuse of Blease. He should be playing inside the F50 at this stage since his ball use is not good enough to play elsewhere. He has shown he knows where the goals are and we will clearly struggle to score this weekend given the opposition and side we've picked.

I watched him closely last week and when he was chasingback through the centre twice taling Ash Mcgrath he was blowing very hard and struggling, that is what it takes to make it at this level, having speed is one thing but digging deep and gut running when your tired is what makes players

Quite happy with this week's selections [from what was offering] with the exception of dropping Davey for Nicholson. Davey has been good off-the-bench this year and is more likely to produce a couple of freak goals than Nicholson is!

Hehe, nice one Mac. Someone has to be able to say they called it should the miraculous happen.

Personally I am feeling a sense of inevitability about this weekend. Moreso than usual. Not a pleasant feeling.

Thanks 'diesel', I thought they were relating to the squads. Didn't notice Jamar there as well.

    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,
