  • 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.


Changes for Round 3

I just hope Brayshaw gets a starting spot, really like his pressure, disposal and unaffected psyche.

Of course you do. On Demonland, the less games you have played the more of a superstar you are. If he follows suit, by the time he reaches 50 games he will have been involved in a lot of failures and pathetic losses and be held with the same contempt that most of his 'senior' teammates are.

CaB another fine entry into the most negative post competition. You seem to excel at sucking the energy out of a thread.

Out Dawes.

Frost to backline - Howe forward

In Toumpas.

Come on Dees, we can beat Adelaide.

Kent was good in the first and so were MFC ..so he stays.

Dawes has been dropping marks since he was a Pie,its not going to change,he's big and runs around ..has to stay

JKH should never have been dropped from a slow team...he's in

Howe has promised for.... how many seasons now(?) and he's still a highlight reel when he can be bothered...OUT

One change assuming no injuries....but maybe Pederson for Frost(?)

Give them a chance and make the two's earn their spot.

Watts sweeps behind the ball

You are a dead set mate..

Thought you would have learnt from round 1 when Brayshaw was very impressive first up.

Time and time again you are made to look like a silly old fool with such absurd comments.

you will be the first one to knife him in the back when he has a bad one and we lose

then you will focus on 2016 debutants and their superstar qualities, and how all our bad development is a thing of the past

less backbone than a snake you've got

Kent missed a couple of easy, set shots.....would have put us 40 odd points up.

In stronger teams, he'd get dropped for that.

yep but MFC isnt a stronger side ...he got it six times or thereabouts up forward in the first quarter. Teaching him to kick is easier than teaching Dawes to mark I reckon

Actually I remember them as "should gets" not "easy"

Out, Newton, not up to it.

Cross, time has past him by, slow and kicks floaters.

Dawes, Greasy hands, not good enough.

In. Tackles McKenzie, an upgrade on whatever Cross does.

Pedersen, showed signs of life last year unlike Dawes.

Bail, an upgrade on Newton.

Fallen for the old trap recruiting fringe players from other clubs, Vince, Newton, Cross and Dawes, we outsmarted nobody as usual.

We knew that they could play and their clubs didn't, beyond belief.

Agree....hence he'll stay.

Brad Scott said that Linday Thomas would be dropped if he missed 'should gets...'

It would great to have that depth one day.....

Agree on the tackling, we nead at least another 2 or 3 tackling players in this side, don't care who goes in or out just give me 20-25 tackles per Q everything else will fall into place.

No thats why to this day i still stick by Toumpas. I rarely knife the young kids as i wait till they atleast clock up 50 to 80 games before i can properly judge them. I see the glimpse in them and give them chances.

Its senior players like Dawes and Frawley in the past that [censored] me up the wall.

Dawes stays, we got two goals as a result of direct contests where he outmuscled his opponent. He is also needed to take Talia and at every opportunity pull him away from the forward 50

Frost for JKH to get better run

Kent is on thin ice in my book, aid many times he doesn't work hard enough when he doesn't have it (although that was the whole side for the second half)

If Vince isn't 80% he doesn't play for me, Michie or Toumpas in for him

Out:Frost & Vince if not fit

In: JKH & Michie

Brayshaw to start and Kent to the pine

I reckon Perderson and Hogan is a really dangerous forward line. Remember [Pedersen]'s game against Port? Boy...I hope he comes in...

I actually would like to see this at some stage.

Yes BB he is the one, was full of running early but along with others he dropped off dramatically. I mean that sincerely he was feeling the pinch and on what I have seen Dean doesn't have the ability to did deep and keep going, second efforts are not high on his list. I am not just making this accusation based on Saturday alone

Said it many times he can be anything but his workrate IMO is what is holding him back

Think Talia will go straight to Hogan 'Pennant'

If Frost goes out who takes the 2nd ruck duties? can't be Dawes, he's not a ruck's .....

I don't get the Kent love from some, he has a bit too much Col about him at the moment. As well as work rate, his set shot kicking is poor and I'm not sure about his footy smarts.

    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,

    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
