  • 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 Next Week

Crikey, you should do the MFC website weekly medical reports, including images of the scans. Glad you don't support the Cats, otherwise James Kelly's injury might be rather delicate to report on.

I think Stu may have a similar injury. But it's been lingering for several years.

Let's at least establish one thing. Anyone who proposes that we drop Pederson after his gallant performance today, needs to acknowledge they either didn't watch the game or know absolutely nothing th

Sat near him today and he said he is 1 more week away, so in for Hawks hopefully.

That's a perfect example of how pointless the DE stat is. One of McKenzie's so-called 'efficient' disposals was his handpass to Jamar in the centre square. When Jamar was flat footed, standing still,

It was actually today. And what does loyalty have to do with being dropped due to poor form?

So you would drop one of our most skilful players, you jumped off that ship pretty quickly...

OUT: McKenzie, Salem (concussion)

IN: Riley, Fitzy

Fitzy to play on Tippett and maybe some backup ruck.

Grimes and Watts get one more week I think, let's not be too reactionary as our coach won't.

Going by our fitness manager's assessment Viney and Jetta won't be ready, and you'd think Dawes would be touch and go.

Seriously Stuie, don't ever consider going into coaching.

You expect Fitzy in his first game for the year to do some sort of job on one of the biggest power forwards in the game.

That's just as bad as debuting Watts on QB ..

Keep up with Casey at all pal? But yeah let's put guys who are undersized on the "biggest" power forward.

No because there are no Kurt Tippet types playing VFL, Jesse Hogan would be a better option to play on Tippet than Fitzpatrick.

Didnt see the game, haven't had time to read gameday thread yet so serious question.....JKH, what happened?

To my eye JKH consistently gets caught by trying to do too much and doesn't seem to take the easier option. He. as a result. turns it over and burns his team mates.

I understand he's young and his mistakes come from enthusiasm but I feel he needs a longer apprenticeship at Casey.

A lot like Jones and Tyson oh wait a minute, the only reason they get caught is that they are not "Fleet of Foot" or built like the Fyfe Brick shizen!

Houston we have a problem!

I was at that game, he had a poor week, but he didn't have 5 kicked on him. Has been amongst the best pretty much every other week since moving back.

Wached the first half of the Casey game. and now half way through 3rd qtr.

I am all for bringing Fitzy in as he has impressed me down back but who do we drop for him? You would have to go tall for tall.

Get rid of McKenzie please.. I would bring Riley in for him. The guy is a nutter around the stoppages!

I wish Toumpas continued his good form from the first half. He really was BOG for the 1st QTRS of the game. Now gonna watch why he went missing.

Dawes in for Watts.

How far away is Viney?

He's done three of his four weeks they said for the fibula crack.

Surprise inclusion?

    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

    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
