  • 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.

The great 2015 gazebo heist.

Club survives Norm Smith, Barassi, Mergers, Prendergast, Neeld, Tanking.

Finally brought undone by gazebo expenditure.

I wonder if you know how pathetic you sound.

Probably not.

Self reflection is important.

Best get a diary.

I'm sure there will be a few changes for the weekend. Interested to see if Hogan trains - I'm assuming if it's light duties, laps etc then he will be rested for the weekend. As Moonshadow said it might be a good chance for Fitzy to step up and show that he can fill a spot, although I still hold my doubts about that.

Here is my first ever training report....I only stayed for a hour so I'll just comment on what I saw and my opinion...

- It was windy so disposals by all were average at times, BUT yes the usual butchers were at it again.

- I love H's intensity.

- Gartlett, Frost and H are great pickups, we look more dangerous with them in our team.

- I know this may offend, but on what I've seen to date with Hogan he is not our superstar this year. He is just a kid still learning. He will bring a contest and another option up forward but will not star, for this year at least.

- Dawes looked good today, took clean marks and looks very fit.

- Someone may be able to clarify but it appeared Vince was involved in the sessions early, then went off to do his rehab training.

- It looked like Howe was in the golf cart for the whole time, I hope everything is ok.

- McCartney was running a few drills when squad split up into 3 and was providing great instructions and feedback. He'll be perfect for the development of the younger guys.

I went along to training (it's still going) and can confirm Hogan seems to be doing all the drills and appears fine.

Great to see Jack Trengove walking some laps at the start. Slight limp happening there!

Vince joined in the drills at the start then pulled out as the intensity and simulation style rose. White also.

This was my first training session for the year and for me there was a noticeable skill improvement but the usual suspects (whilst some have improved) were still ratty.

Size wise, players didn't look bigger than last year - maybe more toned. Watts looks like a high jumper in physique.

Impressive:

The usuals (Jones, Tyson etc)

Prince

Frost

vanDemon

nice kick on White and King

I like the look of Brayshaw. One of his kicks didn't make the distance. Is he not a great long kick?

Pleasantly surprised:

Jordie

Didn't see Howe but he might've been there.

I was looking to see if the Toump looked any quicker and decided - maybe a little!

The other thing from today which I thought was quite bizarre, I saw Saty on the sidelines on other side of the field taking photos then he walked off and hid behind a tree ...

Don't know and don't want to know what was going on there.

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
