  • 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.

Do you doubt Clark will not play much this year?

Im not trying to horn in on old arguments but its not looking good.

Do I 'doubt that Clark will not play much this year?'

I don't doubt that I don't know, and that no-one will know until he does or does not play much this year.

Hope that's clear.

Don't mind one, last of the sizeable breweries that is still aussie owned.

More power to them I saw

I hadn't realised that OD (but a quick Google proves you right)... I like James Squire beers but wasn't aware that they had been acquired by Lion Nathan who are in turn owned by Kirin.

Good news, I have it on the best authority from someone who absolutely knows, that Mitch's foot is still attached to his ankle.

...but is the ankle attached to the rest of him?? :rolleyes:

And that topic is... Mitch Clark and the spin released from the MFC about how he is fine but his niggles may mean he will miss a few matches. At the start of the year....

I just cant swallow any more BS. Im at saturation point. I have no belief this pre-season is any different to the last 5,6,7. Everyone all firing, club so happy. We're all meant to believe it.

I dont. Im not looking for an argument. Im not a true believer any more. Sick of bad pre-seasons and players that are forever 4-6. Maybe I should change my moniker to Hanrahan.

Don't feel alone Franky there are another 11999 who have left the fold over the last two years.

Actions will fix your melody, be prepared for some small but significant gains in 2014.

However 2015 is probably your year.

Cheers Old Dee.

I pays my dues so I takes my chance. If I wasnt a member I wouldnt feel I had the right to pi55 and moan.

Im hoping for good news, but dont expect it.

I don't see why anyone isn't capable of just being a human blessed with the ability for rational thought.

Don't need to be a doomsayer expecting the worst...

Don't need to be a true believer gobbling up spin...

Just accept Mitch Clark is coming back after a long time out of footy, as such needs to build up his match fitness, and will be succeptible to hamstring issues as a result of his previous foot issues, and as such his loads will be carefully managed, and reduced if deemed necessary.

Not a great stretch to accept that.

Ok so maybe he wont play round 1

So what?

I reckon he will play a couple of games for Casey to ease back in to things, and will be in the MFC lineup about round 6

Cant wait

Clark was going brilliantly pre Christmas. He was in everything and there seemed to be no restraints placed on him by the coaching/medical staff and he was certainly training with full intent.

The slight hamstring issue has been going on for 4 weeks now but the club is still playing the 'carefully managed' line.

Thinking rationally of course, I just don't think he's going to string too many together this year. I hope I'm proven wrong.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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
