    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.


Outrageous player predictions for 2014

Viney will develop his softer emotional side, just so Chuck Norris can come out of his hiding place and cease being embarrassed......

Mmmm ok maybe not, much more likely kill his opposite number with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse!

Mark Jamar to have 10 kicks in a game, at 80% efficiency, and 5 of them going at least 30 metres.

Gary Ablett to get dropped to the seconds for at least half the season.

Campbell Brown to kick himself in the nuts.

As trivial as it sounds his hard running and speed could actually be developed into something. He has all the physical attributes of Kieran Jack. And bad skills can be conquered with time and composure.

The issue I have with Nicholson is that he's soft. It's the non negotiable.

We are looking for a quality small forward. He is quick, an elite runner, and if he could improve his kicking, may be a chance.

Tom Boyd

Tom Boyd to come to us (because the AFL refused to bow to the pressure from the other 17 Clubs to not give us a PP) and next year's Coleman medal to be shared between Hogan and Boyd (both accepting the award in MFC guernseys)!

We don't need key forwards, we need gun midfielder, and a class crumbling forward. Trade our picks to get them. This is a transformative opportunity - one we will not have again hopefully for another decade or more. We must get it right.

Boyd, although clearly hugely talented, would be surplus to our requirements right at this time, but he would be hugely valuable to us as a trade commodity for one or two A-grade midfielders. We should do it, and I'm sure Roos will.

I see where you are coming from (like every other Demonlander) but don't think that our forwardline is as elite as you think. We cannot rely on first-year player Hogan to be the goal-kicking messiah and this year proved that our gun foward structure is comprised of players susceptible to injuries. Much as we need mids, there is nothing wrong with having the two hottest (& youngest) forwards in the AFL both playing for the Dees (otherwise we have a Boyd/Cameron forwardline at GWS for the next decade a la Hawthorn with Franklin and Roughead).

Rohan Bail to bleach his hair ala Woewodin and take out the Chad.

If he bleached his hair he'd miss another 3 weeks with concussion.

Mark Jamar wins a hitout, and it goes to one of our players more than 3 feet away and on the move.

Jack Grimes kicks the ball forwards more than twice in a game. At least 50% hit a target.

Sam Blease plays his 3rd game in a row...

There's a zombie apocalypse, there's no food left, Tom Scully is NOT eaten by his father.

one thing is quite clear

roos was doing homework on all ,listed and unlisted players for the last 10 weeks

he is definitely ego driven like all coaches

reading posters.papers and listenening to the radio,massive amounts of trading by all clubs is about to be done,

and who put himself in the box seat for early on the ball trades,and early talks with disgruntled ,want to move home players.jumped em roosey

PAUL ROOS

theres something big happening here and all the player movements and club movements have somehow fallen our way

only prediction I can make is we are on the way ,hold on and enjoy

    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

    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.
