    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.

Watch the replay because I remember thinking Toump is getting to the contests and helping out as a junior player should. After the replay I have no idea what game people have been watching. It is the

Watts come on, was able to immediately get involved, and the flow of the game changed. I understand he was coming off a poor 3 weeks, his confidence shot, but we simply can't afford not to have him in

Established or experienced players who had very little impact ...

  • Dawes
  • Watts
  • Pedersen
  • Howe
  • Garland

Other established or experienced players who are still down on their best and/or need to do more ...

  • Dunn
  • Vince
  • N Jones
  • Tyson
  • Lumumba

We need a greater impact from all 10 of the above players - we cannot hope to win games unless that happens. They should be leading the way and they aren't. The possession count by a few of the aforementioned 10 players was quite flattering.

'Ok' or 'Alright' doesn't cut it. The Swans were in cruise mode after half time.

Hogan was lazy in the first half. Possibly carrying an injury. Spencer, Brayshaw, Cross, Dawes, Tommy and Stretch all earned their place. Garlett and Hogan did some good things, but just about everyone else was putrid.

The bAll was nowhere near Hogan in the first half. He contested brilliantly and was the standout player with Salem.

Spot on. Get rid of Howe as far as I'm concerned. Lazy, lazy, lazy. Such a one trick pony.

And we were offered pick 7 for him by GWS

We would have made out like bandits in that trade and could have drafted a midfielder

I'd like to see some of our mids play in front for a change. Tyson needs a spell, he's obviously carrying something, bring in Pig Dog to cut sick in the middle. I'd chuck Vanders in there more often too. Love Bernie, but christ i'm sick of him grabbing it and slamming it on the boot to nobody. Why is that we seem to be the only AFL club that can't spread from a congested situation through precise handball. Every other team does it with ease.

great post. couldn't agree more.

Heard on the radio that the Hawks have approached Christian Petracca......

A disgrace if true and should be completely against the rules

They have won the last 2 flags and are now trying to steal a kid we took at pick 2 just 7 months ago, [censored] me dead I am almost over the AFL

We continually commit suicide with our shots on goal (set shots & running) that just kill any momentum we could get going. Frustrating crap for a supporter. We are so inept as a team. Only rarely do we get teased with some teamwork and a win. Just another disappointing day watching my team play crap footy. Great game tmac , well done billyS , a solid debut. Hoges dos'nt stop trying, matter of fact I think all the boys toiled away, we r just so far off the pace. More pain too come I fear, effort is all I want out off the list we have. More list building needed, stating the bloody obvious. Bugga we are still shyte.

Agree....but, if we don't improve soon, we're going to lose more than CP....

A number of times he was caught behind. He contested well on a couple of occasions, but Brayshaw and Spencer were the stand outs for me.

Our lack of spread and general work rate was the most frustrating and disgraceful aspect of tonight's game. Our forwards and backs did reasonably well, but every time Salem looked up off half back he had absolutely no one to kick to. No pride in the Melbourne jumper at all.

...? Really?

I was referring to the first half with Hogan. Particularly the first quarter. He was good in the second half, particularly being double teamed a number of times. I was disappointed by his first half though.

And thankfully it's a problem that I think we can solve. If we play our cards right I think we can land a ruckman via trade over the off season who will be an instant upgrade on what we have.

I still like to think Gawn can turn into that player somewhat, but his time is running out.

You should have watched Gawn on TV today playing VFL. Worse than useless.

FFS Watts was the sub, he came on and set up 2 goals. He was clean. Harsh to include him

The only good news in recent time is PJ committing for another 12 months - he will be important in getting the young ones to commit.

Currently we are being let down by our more experienced players.The recent draftees have been good but not receiving much support.

Spencer's about as athletic as Andre. And i wouldn't call him athletic.....

I think Spencil has a dip but his athleticism is more along the lines of the Shockmaster's 'explosive' entrance.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Geelong

    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. 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
