  • 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.

What do we do with Grimes?

A great bloke and can do things others cant do but unfortunately he's not up to it. His errors have been killing us for years and he's never held accountable. Hopefully Roos has the courage to move him on.

The opposition call him "Captain cant kick"

Persevere. He makes poor decisions at times, but he tackles well, runs hard and is a good reader of the play. I think supporters are needlessly harsh on him. I'm confident the one or two poor mistak

Im sure Roos is seeing the mistakes too, and will be trying to coach it out of him, his positives out weigh his negatives,

What do we do with Grimes. Simple. Coach him and improve him - just as we're doing for the other 43 players on the list.

The pack mentality around "Grimes can't play" is seriously misplaced. For those wanting Grimes dropped and traded I'd suggest you rethink your position because it's not going to happen.

Disagree with the first two lines, roll my eyes at the third line and call BS on the last line.

If you think Roos is going to cast aside Grimes at the end of the season you have learnt nothing from the first 10 weeks of the season.

I just hope he proves me and other doubters wrong and leads us to victory with a bigger than Ben Hur performance on Monday.

So that means he will arrogantly dismiss his opponent with a flick of his wrist and refer to him as a 'lightweight'? Plus I didn't know Grimesy was an Andrew Bolt worshiping, right wing nut case.

He can do some pretty amazing spoils, but his kicking leaves a lot to be desired.

Let's just remember how Roos has transformed Pedo in half a season and give him time to transform Grimes. Everyone on the list deserves a chance under his tenure before we turf them aside.

Just because he has a passing resemblance to said Mr Bolt does not mean he is a Neo Fascist. I thought he looked like a KAOS agent.

No no ADC. If Jack is to put in a Ben Hur style performance, he needs to worship Andrew Bolt.

Plus he won't be able to read Demonland (bites lip) as the real deal has been banned from here or so I believe.

Yes, he's made the odd howler of a blunder. He's telegraphed a pass for the opposition to intercept and he's executed to a teammate immediately under the pump. Whilst I sometimes question his vision (or peripheral vision in some cases), I expect him to improve his decision making with regards to his disposal under some heat.

For some to question his leadership as captain and his position in the team I find astounding at the present time.

It's simple, sack Grimes, and with the salary cap left over, recruit Bootsma, and give him the captaincy to sweeten the deal, just what we need a booming kick off half back and a proven leader.

Yes, I love Grimesy's determination and sheer toughness. However, one tends to hold their breath when he is about to dispose of the ball. In direct contrast how many people feel supremely confident that Lynden Dunn will dispose of the ball beautifully. Gee, he's so cool under pressure is Lynden and those long accurate kicks he produces are superb. Maybe he could give Jack some tips.

Must admit I saw Grimes' interviewed on 360 this week and I fell in love with his attitude. I have always admired his courage and his commitment. He is the best at running fearlessly into whatever may be coming,; I just hope he injures the opposition and not himself or a team mate. I would love nothing more for him than to have the best game of his career on Monday and stick it right up anyone who has ever doubted him (me included). Most of all stick up all the Collingwood flogs out there. Either way I will be there to cheer the boys on. Go Dees!

He will be a worthy contributor over the next few years.

I look forward to future when he is not good enough to get a regular game.

At that point we will know we have truly arrived as a premiership contender.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
