  • 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.

B: Garland Dunn Jetta

HB: Toumpas McDonald Malceski

C: Vince Jones Trengove

HF: Watts Dawes Viney (tackle and learn to crumb)

F: Howe Hogan JKH

R: Gawn Tyson Salem

Int: Michie Cross Petracca/Brayshaw

As i notice that you don't have a sub, i would make Watts the sub

The sad thing is that all of these attempts at selecting a viable 2015 team reek of same old same old.. we're doomed for 10 years if we're relying on the likes of Dawse, Garland, Watts , Grimes,, Howe , and others to suddenly become consistent and effective footballers .

We've seen years and years of the same rubbish from the same people ,to know that they're not EVER going to be up to it!

Geez I'd be surprised if Watts would get Casboult from a team that needs Casboult.

B: Jetta McDonald Howe

HB: Toumpas Dunn ??

C: Vince N Jones Viney

HF: Kent Dawes ??

FF: JKH Hogan Pedersen

R: Gawn Tyson Cross

I: Watts Salem ?? ??

I'm backing Toumpas in for half-back. We need someone who can actually kick the ball coming off half-back and instead of going looking for one elsewhere I want to back us in to get Toumpas into that role. No certainty, obviously. The other half-back is missing.

Pedersen to play third tall forward and second ruck. Jamar's past it and I see enough in Gawn for him to take over.

I don't have Garland or Grimes in the side. Not convinced either of them is worthy of a spot. They may slot into that empty half-back spot, or we may bring someone in to take that.

We also need someone else rotating mid/forward, plus another two midfielders. Trengove may be that mid/forward, which I'd be happy with, but we'll wait and see on that. Michie might be another mid on the bench, but again not sure.

    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
