  • 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.

so you're suggesting you'd be calling Nathan Jones a [censored] if he tweeted that

you're a liar

I would, Cripps is a worthy winner.

But let's face it, Jones wouldn't. Not on Twitter, and that's the difference.

But I must be wrong cos you are already calling me a liar cos you are the almighty knower of all.

Hail, hail, hail.

Can you please tell me what I want for dinner tonight.

Just enjoy Hogan's win. Why do you care so much about looking out for Bryce Gibbs?

I'm not sure why there's such angst out there. Carlton supporters should have a look at the 2003 Rising Star result. Nick Reiwoldt won with Chris Judd runner up. St Kilda supporters have been very happy with Reiwoldt and West Coast/Carlton have been equally pleased with Judd. There's room out there for both Hogan and Cripps to be superstars. I look forward to watching them both play for years to come.

If cripps had won and <insert senior melbourne player> had made a tweet like that you'd all be saying was a legend he is for standing up for the truth and supporting his mate and blahblahblah

No we wouldn't, we'd be saying he's a [censored] and shouldn't air his stupid opinions in public.

Congratulations to Hogan. What a star and I cannot wait to see our forward line next year with Petracca playing across half forward. If the hype for Petracca is true then he would be well placed to win the award next year.

It will be interesting to see how they both go next year. Second year players often drop off a bit but I can't see Jesse being one. He already took the oppositions best defender and was often double teamed. So there's not much more they can throw at him. Plus he'll be even bigger. Cripps on the other hand will get tagged from the get go and will find it harder. Much like rich

They just reported on sunrise that Jesse Hogan has declared he wants to be a one club player.

That's nice....i remember Woey saying the same thing on a marketing snippet after he won the Brownlow. We then sold him up the river to the Pies a few years later.

A lengthy contract extension would be better than any talk.

This was his second year...which means next year he's going to be truly awesome.

I was thinking 2nd year - on the park! Given he hardly played a game in his 1st.

Let's hope you are correct LD

Hogan would look at a player like that with contempt no doubt.

I very much doubt that. Why does Watts even get a mention in this thread. Amazing. This might inspire him, and others in the team, to reach greater heights.

When we stop losing to them, even as wooden spooners, they probably won't have as much to say LD

So just watched the short highlights package on the club website, something that really strikes me about him is that he is always quick to acknowledge when one of his teammates has worked hard to provide him with the opportunities for goals. Maybe I'm reading a lot into it but to me it shows a camaraderie with him and his teammates, hopefully this idea that the young core of this club are truly in it together.

Thanks for posting the 360 interview. He speaks well and has a great attitude to his football. I particularly liked when he said he didn't buy in to comparisons to other greats of the game; that he wanted to build his own brand as a player. Love it!

As an aside, I am amazed at how thoroughly boozed Robbo was. He has the close-talking-embarrassing-drunk-uncle shtick down.

Not only that he kept on making references to getting hammered. Must have been at least 5.

He also said harmes played well on Friday night. Only two days out.

The hilarious part actually was that he broke the bombers going to Adelaide story but didn't realise why ie that they had broken a commitment to ask other clubs first before talking to assistant coaches. He was clueless. Probably thought he was doing a solid for efc when in fact he put them right in it. His only genuine story and it was a mistake. He did a Homer. Gold

Did Gibbs hire you to protect him from shadows or something? Chill the [censored] out.

The truth? There's no truth to the result being a joke, at all. It's down right disrespectful to Hogan is what it is.

The truth is the best young forward in forever beat a very good young midfielder. Gibbs is [censored] that couldn't crush his own sour grapes.

    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
