  • 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.

Petracca is a monster... then again, so was Tapscott

In one of the pics he makes Nathan Jones look small in build

Hes certainly a big boy..... but unlike Tapscott he can seriously play

Even in the face he looks like one of the seniors

Without trying to be a negative Nellie.. I hope his dominance at junior level was not because he had a clear developmental advantage - others will catch up to him over a few preseasons

exactly (can't tell if arguing or agreeing) it's been one year, hence his ability to impact in the AFL better than his colleagues - he's already built for it. May not stand out so much in a couple of years when the reed-like kids (eg Toumpas) have filled out a bit. Just sayin'

the difference between Petracca and Scully/Trengove in their first preseason is remarkable

Congrats on those superb photos Six6Six. You must be a skilled photographer as well as having a super camera. Good to see the boys working hard and enjoying themselves. I liked the shots of Jack Watts on the bike and his serious approach to his task. Good to see Trenners there too. You have covered many players in action. Thank you.

Well said Dave. You bust your (fat) gut to get to as many games as possible from obviously a fair way away, yet people that live on the outskirts of the CBD refuse to go to our games at Etihad, or the MCG for that matter, then sit and whinge about our fixture year after year.

It was a last man standing handball drill. Ten of them lined up with Shannon Byrnes firing in hot handballs. When someone missed the receive they were booted from the group. Mitchie had just let one through an was being given a rousing sendoff

I'm in Perth and those training photos really made me feel I was actually at training. Some great close ups of the boys. I look forward to more.

Bernie Vince, very sad to see his shoulder, hope he doesn't push it, really looks like it needs a lot of work, I know this has been said elsewhere...

    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.
