  • 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.

Jolly shown the door

I disagree. Dawes has shown more at Melbourne than he showed at Collingwood IMO (aka Mitch Clark), it is just he doesn't seem to be on the park enough. Collingwood would have loved to have had Dawes i

Yeah, the jury has come down on Dawes: he is a good player. He had a few niggles, sue him. He plays with the type of aggression and leadership that is well worth the 5% of the cap he is taking. He

Q has been an utter failure. Dawes is clearly better.

the big question is....

who would you rather

Jolly or Jamar?

Jolly by a long way. Interesting that he's been linked to us a couple of times. Maybe a straight swap, Jolly becomes our number one Ruckman for a year on the proviso that he stays on a as ruck coach in 2015 and beyond, Collingwood get a Ruckman (Jamar) that can mentor Grundy and Witts. Odd, maybe, but could work - assume Roos and Jolly have a good relationship

We have already had him once, I don't think we need him again, especially as he is now old and worn out.

If we want a ruck coach, invite Jeff white back to the club.

I dont think that Spencer/Gawn are good enough to ruck solo at the moment.

We need a experienced ruckman still

His body is just about shot and he is beyond his best

It's shame we got rid of him to start with!

White actually runs his business through the Gold Coast, and does some casual coaching at the Suns too.

How he slipped to pick 18 or so in last year's draft still intrigues me.

Grundy is more of a steal at pick 18 than Darling was for WCE at 27 (or whatever it was).

Edit: I can tell you are intrigued, Ron, by the look on your avatar face!

Jolly has had a stellar career since the Dees lured a reluctant cabinet maker from Lexton(?) to try his luck in the big time. Watching him play this year it seemed the game had passed him by.

I am happy with Spencer and Gawn leading our rucks with Fitzpatrick and the perenially injured Jamar providing occasional back up when required. Would also rookie a developing ruckman.

Why do either need to ruck solo. From my reckoning Will Minson is the only solo ruckman actually doing it competently, each team really needs two rucks out there. Sydney seems to have 3-4 options...

Yes one burnt out ruck man for another.

Jolly is finished after a great career. Jamar is in the shadow of his career and nearly done.

Really why would either side bother?

And I am sure Roos would know better than most what Jolly is capable going forward.

"Not welcome" sounds very sinister. Do they just mean "thanks for your time but your time is over". Or is there something more going on? A lot of people leaving the pies, onfield and off.

Buckley may have been a terrible choice.

    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
