  • 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.

So a guy whose barely played in 2 yrs (obviously through no fault of his own) is doing an extra session on a Sat night. Given his large salary and clear commitment to the club I'd call that par for the course. Great guy and love watching him play, but don't think it's too unexpected.

I wonder how many other players on big salaries would be doing this

You reckon when Buddy did his hammy he was in the gym on a saturday night ?

You think any of our players do this ?

Not by the look of this photo they don't

Firstly, most people don't think buddy did his hammy.

Second, anyone on about $600k p/a and unable to do their job for much of the last 2 yrs due to injury should be putting in extra hours (yes even on a Sat night) to get back to work.

I am fairly certain he could do that throughout the week. Highly unlikely he drove to the club on a saturday night just to take a photo of the gym

No offence tingles but this is hardly inspiring.

I've just knocked off from a 14 hour day and I'm going to the gym too. Am I committed? No I'm bloody stupid because I should be going to blow the froth off a couple.

But anyway.. "Yay Mitch!"

How about you give credit when it is due....great stuff Clarky, I hope he gets the rewards for his hard work. Set the example

Perhaps you didn't use much energy over 14 hours at work.

I am aware that he should be doing it .. the point I was making is how many of our players do you think actually do things like this ?
Clarky is setting an example and by the looks of the empty gym it seems he is the only one there. I am aware some other players may have done it but judging on our performances of late I am not sure many do extra work

Sorry, but I don't understand what anyone is talking about here. And I don't really understand the twitter jargon.

I opened the link and saw a load of photos from what appears to be a US trip. What is the big deal?

I'm impressed that Mitch is 'dedicated' enough to respond to your tweet Tingles, assuming you are luke_tingles.

The extra session is what a guy of his ability, standing and professionalism should be doing. And yes, good on him for that.

Yeah I was happy with that

Yeah as I stated I am aware he should be doing it however my point was are there many on our current list who would be doing it ?

I believe Jimmy Magner used to turn up to the club at sparrows f@rt to do early gym sessions. Look where that got him! ;) ;)

Jimmy was limited as a footballer but I still say good on him for doing it

Had a reasonable year at VFL level.

But what about the Tapscott's, Bleases, Trengove's and the like. I'm also tipping Cale Morton and Jordan Gysberts never did it

Do you know for a fact that Tappy, Blease or Trenners do not do extra work on top of their Club sessions? I don't, but my guess is most players do extra work, whether it be gym, running, bike, swimmjng, etc. I don't think Mitch would like the implication that others are slack because the gym was empty on a Sat night. Is that your point? No offence, but I just don't get the purpose of this thread.

Good to see he's a professional.

On a scale of 1 to Robert Harvey I rate it at 'affirming nod'.

Not exciting, just pleasant.

I also must give an affirming nod to "Most people don't think Buddy did his hammy" as being one the finest pieces of diplomatic language I've seen in a while. Well done Moonshadow.

    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.
