    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.

Don't mind Hogan sitting this one out. I'm also nervous about Tyson and the lingering MCL injury he's been carrying. Wouldn't hurt us to give him a spell.

I would have liked to see Gawm get a run but no biggie.

Oh my god seeing Neitz in the Hawks box is nauseating.

Don't forget we led them a merry dance for the first 1 minute 37 seconds of this game.

Wise decision from the club. If Hogan is sore then he isn't worth the risk. Give him a rest and get him right for the Dogs. Won't make a difference to the scoreline today.

Well, we might have managed 5 goals with him in, now it will be about 3

This could be a turn off the Tele at quarter time sort of day.

Very fortunate the Hawks are weakened with there significant outs of Hodge, Lewis, McEvoy and now Smith.

Yes but we could do with Viney, Jetta, Hogan, Kent, Frost, JKH, Petracca and Trengove too

As I said, not much difference. I might be reading too much into it but we are clearly looking at the bigger picture. We aren't on the level of a Hawthorn but we can certainly be in with a show in our next few games.

When a player is omitted late for something vague and non specific like general soreness it makes me worried and/or suspicious.

Goes to show that Watts' confidence is as low is it looks on-field.

I really wish that I could believe what Chris Dawes said this week about coming up against the Hawks and his personal battle with Chip but really ...

It's so typical of Melb to come and talk the talk but when it comes to "talking" on the field no one is to be seen.

Has been happening for years now and tbh I would much prefer for everyone to shut up and procedure on the ground.

Would make a nice change.

Well that makes sense of why he was dropped after being a reasonable sub. Faith in selection panel restored.

Hodge basically laughed at Dawes' comments and said he told others about it at the club to pump them up.

Says he expects plenty of players to mention it to him today, basically saying it's a fait accompli we will be shat on today and the comments are laughably stupid.

Also that using GWS as a barometer is pretty dumb, considering how much talent they've been given for 4 years running.

If that is the case I am not in support of it. What are you are talking about is throwing in towel before the first bounce. We as a club should never be about that. If we lose by 120 points today that does all sorts of damage.

we've been given nearly as much over the last 7 years. The difference is that Scully, Trengove, Morton, Petracca and Watts aren't out there for various reasons.

Absolutely love this from Watts.

I hate it, he's not good enough, he was going to be dropped anyway. He might have got in first before Roosy gave him the bad news. Watts will be lucky to get back in the team and today Hawthorn would have made him look like a girl. Edited by Henrietta Lumbago

I really hope Dawes plays well today and at least hits the scoreboard..

If he can't back his words up with an acceptable individual performance then he deserves everything the Hawks players will give.

I hope i am very very wrong, but i cant see us getting within 80 points even with so many of their champs out. God its hard to follow this club. I want hope, like the Bulldogs have given their fans. REAL hope, not just "potential"

Come on Dees, make me eat humble pie for once.

Be aggressive and creative going forward even if it means some frustrating clangers. Do this and we will give ourselves a shake.

!! But what about giving the Hawks a shake?...

Just texted my old man the same thing re the score.

Finding it harder and harder to find the motivation to watch the games as well.

    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

    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.
