  • 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.

Chapman, Zaharakis, Cooney, Goddard, Daniher, that ain't a VFL side

Also a bunch of fringe players who are desperately playing to prove themselves (the VFL players too, a lot of them are using this as an audition)

How about we win by 150 points and go into round 1 with some confidence, no matter how false that may be.

Yes, if Jack V wasn't the son of a club fave he would be the latest DL whipping boy! No mercy would be shown him.

Not sure how many lives he has left before the fans turn on him too.

it's a good point, if he had a different surname he might not even be drafted, I have said all along that his physique doesn't match his style, having said that I'm sure he bleeds for the dees and I hope he proves us all wrong

Charged me and my mate $7.50 a beer and it was only a mid strength in a crappy plastic cup and $10.50 for a so called chicken burger wrapped in bread that tasted like plastic.

Southern cross didn't have trains running for nearly 30 mins from the station post game.

Our team lost to a team of seconds and fill ins. I could have chosen to see a great band with friends.

I have never seen a win at Etihiad nor a grand final win and I'm in my 40s.

Other than that it was a great night.

For crying out loud! Poor Viney has one shocker and everyone's out for blood. I would rather he get it out of the way tonight. The Kid bleeds for our Club, and we have you naysayers baying for his blood! Don't you think he would be hardest on himself. If we know anything about Jack, he will come out Rnd 1 and tear the Suns a new one. YOU MARK MY WORDS.

No one is baying for his blood. Viney was good tonight, he makes the odd error and unfortunately made one at the wrong time.

Hopefully he learns from it, he is a little bit rushed and probably needs to work on his composure - and decision making.

Stop talking sense rhaz, it's not welcome when it's wrist slashing time...

Since when did commenting on the blatantly obvious become wrist slashing? I'm not stressed about it I was only half watching the game and laughing half the time I was paying attention. But to deny this was a mediocre effort even by MFC standards is to deny reality.

From what I've read I don't think anyone is having a go at Viney, unless I missed it Sambo.

Settle down people. It doesn't look good but it is the NAB cup.

Roos' teams rarely win pre-season games because he gets them to practice things, not win games. It was horrible tonight and some major question marks on some of our younger players but this is not for 4 points.

If we were the Hawkes the view that this is a NAB cup would be fine. We aren't.

I would like to know what things did we practice? Bottom line, yes it was horrible tonight. Even our practice was sh!t.

AHHHHH I wondered where you were Sambo More sugar please.

It's not sugar Jack. It's reality. Poor Old Jack has just become another whipping boy. Watts, Toump and now Viney!

The difference with Jack, is that he rarely puts bad ones in back to back. The kid will kill it Round 1. And he WILL be there Rnd 1 thru to Rnd 22. He is what our Club is trying to stand for. Heart, Desire and Toughness. We cannot turn this mess around in 1 year guys. But where we are is certainly not Jack's fault.

Give the Kid a break.

pretty disappointing, i'm struggling to see how Jack Viney will get another AFL contract, unfortunately looks a bit of plodder, and i'm not just making that comment based on that kick, the whole 2nd half was absolute rubbish from hiim.

H Lamumba a lock for the B&F I'd say.

I'm a Jack Viney fan, and he'll be great I'm sure, but honestly even before that gift turnover to lose the game, he was TERRIBLE. Miskicks, getting pinged for HTB, not being able to pick the right or quick option. He had an old fashioned shocker the poor bugger.

Not denying it's mediocre. I just don't buy in to all the over the top reactions to it. It's the NAB Cup. When we get flogged and we are struggling by about Round 4 THEN I'll be worried. Until then I'll just mark it down as a bad night at the office and wait and see how we respond when the real stuff starts.

Well of course beeding for the club is much much better than having genuine skill and class isnt it?

Sorry they are NOT, the I will only buy a membership if they don't win line is crap, anyone can go to a website and say they are a supporter, but are they? I have seen some good times and (to many bad ones) but will still buy my membership every year.

I buy my membership year after terrible year as well, and will continue to do so. The point is, people are angry right now. When they're angry, they're going to say things they don't mean, like threaten not to renew membership. The fact that they care enough to be angry shows that they're here for the long haul. I don't begrudge them their right to vent.

Anyone COULD make a profile and call themselves a supporter. But why WOULD they unles they were?

It's when someone grows numb to the losses and no longer gets angry, no longer caring that we have to worry.

This was a game that NEEDED to be won, pre-season or not. The demons released a statement last night about Lumumba saying he was helping us build towards being a respected club.

Losing to what is essentially a VFL team has dashed that goal into the foreseeable future.

I am pretty livid with tonight but let's not go crazy here. One very bad game does not a career end make. He is 20. Let's just calm down with the big calls.

    It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

    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.

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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
