  • 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...

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
