    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 make up mock headlines and blogs and turn to home schooling. Stupid question.

I agree. I think the $1.12 is great value.

Rubbish selection.

Whilst I understand giving Gawn and Toumpas a rest for their tiring bodies, to have left in all of Davey, Howe and Byrnes, who are giving us squat right now, and thus leaving out Strauss, who is doing all he can at Casey, is ridiculous.

Good to see Davis get a game, but totally disinterested about seeing McKenzie again. Should have been someone new.

I just can't wait for AFL season 2013 to finish so I don't have to groan every time footy stuff comes across my computer, tv or radio. I am warn out. This GWS v MFC game attracts me about as much Ita Buttrose in a bikini. TO be honest, I really don't care.

Happy for Davis, though. Should have happened weeks ago.

Amen to all the above brother.

I feel your pain.

Maybe we bought jordie back in to tag Ablett. 3 journos turned up to Neil's presser. Whats the point of having them. No body cares now

I prefer 3 journos to every journo in the land feeding on our demise. The bombers are welcome to monopolise the journos ATM

Best of luck to Davis. Should have played him at the height of his form not as it waned.

Why promote Magner then not play him or even have him as an emergency?

Craig's mantra that we will reward for when Strauss can't get a game after being in the bests 3 of 4 weeks especially when 90% of the side can't kick.

Gawn and Toumpas fair outs but plenty could have followed particularly Davey, Howe, Byrnes.

McKenzie was always going to get a game particularly after 30.

Where is Satyriconhome???????????????????

I am here chap, just been busy at work, been reading the site, we are just in a horrible place at the moment, don't see any point in beating myself up, agree with Craig would like to see a bit of 'effort' for last four games, but not holding my breath, nice to see Truck Davis finally get a chance after 2 years of really good consistent footy at Casey, if nothing else it will show him and the Club whether he can cut it at AFL level......think like a lot of supporters at the moment, will watch the away games on the telly and switch off if it becomes intolerable and go to Fremantle game........then watch with interest what we do then.......we will be coming from way way way back next year

Yes, pleased for Troy, but he's hardly coming off a big couple of weeks having had a combined 20 disposals (av: 10 per game) in the magoos. He should have played weeks ago.

Furthermore, unless they intend sending Dunny or Garland forward, then he will be playing as a forward - hardly the easiest spot in a Melbourne side at the minute.

But at least we will get a chance to see if he can step up at this level.

I don't get the selectors.

When we played Geelong and North, who are always physical, we went for leg speed players and got hammered all day.

This week we play probably the fastest side in the comp and we add Jordie to our line-up.

Explain that?

Pleased to see Davis get a game but I wonder whether he'll play back or forward? And, if back, who of Pedersen, McDonald, Garland or Dunn goes forward? Personally, I'd try Davis forward as none of the others inspire me as forwards.

I note MFC is pointing out that Davis is MFC's 1300th player. Given the age of the MFC, I wonder whether he's the first player of any club to be number 1,300. Anyone know?

North's new guy this week was 997 I think. Something like that. I presume MFC, Coll, Ess and most of the foundation clubs will be around that number.

Maybe St Kilda might have the highest number. A foundation club with a worse record than even the MFC has had in the last few years. You'd assume they must have turned over a lot of players in their time.

WINNERS AND LOSERS by Whispering Jack ...

Unless the playing group makes an effort and demonstrates some pride in itself, then the team will continue to generate more depressing scenes such as those at this week's presser when they were even short of attracting the proverbial three men and a dog.

Gold Coast by 78 points.

Surely, this prediction alone confirms that this must be our worst season ever?

How many of the 1300 players have been developed properly?

That would be an interesting stat.

1300th eh?

Is that a hundred times more unlucky than being the 13th player? If so, knowing Melbourne's luck this year he'll be struck by lightning before he makes it through the banner.

    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

    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,
