    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 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.

As you have all noticed and watched..

the last 3 games have been against Collingwood, Saints and Doggies.

We have witnessed Jack Watts put his head over the footy and show some serious grunt and hard work. Watts has been kicking goals and look really lively, something we have rarely seen from him.

The funny thing about him is that, he could and in my opinion get even better, Jack throughout matches drops some very silly marks and makes some errors and i get the feeling by rnd 1 2014 he wont drop or make any errors. Once this kid gets some confidence he's going to be a jet.
I finally believe we are seeing the start of Jack Watts

Jack is a really important cog to this team plus don't underestimate how many junior supporters have his number on their MFC jumper.

But my worry is.....Clarke, Dawes, Hogan, Fitzpatrick and Watts. Have we gone too top heavy. Jack must be asking what his role in the forward line is.

watts clark hogan dawes and howe

surely the greatest forward line in AFL/VFL history coming up for us

edit: let's put it in a time capsule now, for the first time all 5 of them line up, hopefully it is R1 2014 unless of course one of them is injured

When Watts dominated Junior football, he was a stick amongst sticks.

Came into AFL, he was a stick figure amongst big bodies.

How can a kid compete when he is coming from so far back.

Once Jack's body catches up to where it needs to be - to play as a forward, like he was doing in juniors, then we will see him dominate.

Watts is still only catching up.

In this day and age, the media has a job, they will pray on footballers, hoping they fail, then when they fail, you'll see the odd sympathy piece.

If we all didn't read papers and instead used our commonsense, then they'd be no need to worry about Jack Watts.

Then let Davey play with the other five. He will not let you down despite the doomsayers claiming he has finished!

This is not a worry, it's a dream. We will be versatile and have strong depth. It's highly unlikely we will have all fully fit and firing every game so they will all get game time. Hogan will probably need to be rested next season, and clark probably as well with his injury history. We will have Watts, Howe and Clark playing has half forwards taking a heap of marks and then kicking it in to both Dawes and Hogan at F/F kicking goals. We should keep Davey on as a small forward and work on teaching Blease to take over as the forward pocket in the future.

Just goes to show, Neeld had NFI!!! The modern day Robin Hood. If Neeld had integrity he'd decline substantial payout.

Also, Jack was sublime as was the 21 other blokes and Craig. Jones' lace out pass to Watts just one if the highlights. McDonald's run from half back scratched the surface of the potential we have. Toumpas & Nicholson's dash had me excited once again for red & blue. And just on that, it was nice seeing the boys wearing their traditional uniform last night. The white gives me the $hits.

    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,

    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
