  • 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.

He's only 10 games into his career, but Gus could very well be the best first round pick we've drafted in years. Definitely deserved the nod this week. I already feel confident whenever he has the ball in hand.

EDIT: Just reached the personal milestone of 1000 posts. Cheers to all who put in the hard work that makes this website possible. Go Dees!

I said at the game today that I'm more comfortable when Brayshaw has it in his hands than any other player on our list. Even when he missed his second shot at goal he took an intercept mark which I think resulted in kick and goal to Fitzy.

Yeah I really liked this. Missed the shot but then gut run to make sure he impacted the next contest. With Brayshaw, Viney, Tyson, Petracca and Vandenberg plus cameos from Salem, Toumpas, Garlett I am very comfortable with where our midfield is headed. Obviously helped by Jones, Vince and Cross.

How good is it watching a decent number 10 running around. Ive been more impressed with angus in his first what 10 games than I have been with some players who we have had on our list for a few years.

I just love his tackling and ball use. Hope he is a 200+ gamer with us

He just looks a goer, doesn't seem to be any lack of confidence and backs himself every time. Even when he missed his goal he straight away took the contested mark to win the ball back and set up a goal for another player.

Those two goals he set up for Garlett were just poetry in motion.

Congrats Gus!

Gus is a gun, plays like an angry Cotchin.

Hope Roos gives him some time forward like Cotchin gets to rest him and let him snag a few

Agree with that comparison in terms of the way he moves and attacks, but he's a far better user of the football than Cotchin.

Yep, took the words out of my mouth, I love him with the ball in hands and feel comfortable when he is around the ball. Makes good decisions, attacks the ball, tackles hard, kicks beautifully to position. Imagine what he's going to be like with a few games under the belt.

Must get the rising star this week...

Its funny you mention His kicking. While i agree its a big positive in one of his draft videos his kicking seemed pretty poor at times.

He looks so calm and composed.

Those two kicks to set up Garlett were perfection... he is something to get very excited about.

I agree he was the excitement for me today.

The kid has played nine games and already looks better than about eight others I could mention today.

A small Ray of hope for our future.

The recruiters got this one correct.

As soon as he was drafted, I predicted that this kid would Captain the club and that he would be our first 600 gamer.

Now that I've actually seen him play, I feel I was quite conservative in my initial assessment.

In short, he's just got it.

600 gamer RB

Can you let me know your libation of choice please.

    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

    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
