  • 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.

Dean Kent to get some time in the gutz and kick 30 odd goals.

Building on what he showed this year and with another full pre season under his belt I think we'll see something pretty special begin to emerge.

Kent and Blease taking the game on and kicking goals sounds good to me.

Why do I cringe everytime I see the word "Breakout"?

maybe your 16 and have bad complexion

or ,you could have had hopes and dreams ruined in the last 6 years

option A is a bad guess?

Half the bloody list, hopefully.

In comparison to the last two seasons what is our definition of "breakout"? If some players suddenly start winning contested balls, breaking away at speed and spotting up a forward lace out. That would be breakout. So it could be half the side! If we manage to set up correctly and consistently execute the point kick outs to our advantage that would be breakout to me as well.

I will give it one last shot - Colin Sylvia ? ;-)

Mono your level of support for Colin is truely amazing

This would make it his 11th "potential" break out year of his career wouldnt it?

If he stays I just hope he gets in plays some regular consistent footy to justify all the support you guys have given him over his long career. Good luck!

I nominate this for the worst thread title in history. It combines my two most hated qualities in a thread: unfounded optimism and unimaginative cliches.

Now, Now Fowl! You’re starting to sound like Moonshadow and you are far more intelligent than him (well just about everyone is I suppose).

A couple of points.

  1. Without going through the whole history of Dland , I’m sure there are worse threads than this – in fact I may have started some myself.
  2. As for unfounded optimism and unimaginative clichés – well this is the land of clichés. Ban clichés and you might as well close D’land – in fact close football.
  3. Finally, if you think it is [censored], don’t read it and let the rest of us dream.

Sylvia has had a good couple of seasons. Defintely in our 3 most damaging players and does not deserve that bollocking he gets form many at Demonland.

Sometimes jazza I reckon you've partaken in too much of Gellibrands market garden.

yeah but he was the No.2 draft pick.

I suppose we can't read into that since we are so [censored] at recruiting!

    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.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
