  • 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.

Forgot about the Hoges. I think he is #1.

I got the list off the MFC website and they have already taken Colin off the list. When does Hoges officially become a Demon?

I suppose after second list lodgement. He may already be classed as on the list though, as he played NAB cup last year and was listed in the record.

I think a few players will graduate to lower numbers......Fitz, Terlich, Matty Jones, Taggert, Spence....

Then the new fellas will get whats left over

Vince.....12

Michie....16

Tyson.....18

Pick No.9.15

My guess anyway FWIW....

how about #69?

To which Mrs. Wong replied

Oh no. Not this again...

Agree wholeheartedly.

Numbers mean nothing.

(But Fitzy looks great in #48 - the only improvement would be #1, elongated all the way down his back from neck to tuck in, to make him look even taller and lankier, but that is taken.)

From the available numbers only Tyson has a number that he was wearing from his last club at 29

Bernie Vince did start wearing 28 for the Crows

We still may have a delisting or 2 yet though

Would be fitting that Vince gets 12 and Tyson gets 3

I strongly disagree

If numbers meant nothing then why would Grimes wear 31 , Watts wear 4 , Trengove 9 and so on

You might not think so but the Club obviously does

17 at the Tigers

3 at the Dogs

14 at the Swans

5 at the Cats

4 at the Saints

23 at the Hawks

Club history is really important

Vince has to get 12.

Even if, for no other reason, it sends a message to Sylvia ' ... Thanks for the memories and the 10 years of investment. You have been replaced'.

We know you really miss him but you need to face the fact he has gone for ever!

Look I know that club history is important, but the numbers issue is a low level of magnitude on the scale of things.

And IF guys are to be given "marque" numbers they need to earn them first. Hell, didn't the Cockatoo-Galah twins get gifted 30 and 31 or something ridiculous like that (and ended up playing like 4 games between them)? Wheatley at 31 was a bloody hard worker but certainly not a "neo-Barassi", and nor is JG at least for now. JW ain't no TGNWS.

Bernie Vince #12, Dom Tyson #3, Viv Michie #23, take #33 off Dom Barry and give him #36 (give it too the next big indigenous player), give #28 to Daniel Cross, Pick 9 (hopefully Nathan Freeman or Dom Sheed) #18.

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    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
