  • 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.

Have you forgotten Jetta ? (back pocket) and Kent would be on my half forward line. Newton as a IC.

I wouldn't have vandenBerg in the ruck. Otherwise pretty much agree with your selected team.


Not sure with some of the axings etc. wait and see how the year pans out I guess at this stage.

all fair calls, jetta and kent deserve a place and vanders on the bench, not sold completly on newton yet, so he sits on the list of maybe's

Dunn and Garland are very underrated here. These 2 have been so reliable down back it seems unusual to not have them both as permanent fixtures in the team next year.

After recent weeks, certainly yesterday, Pedersen has zoomed past Dawes as the second tall forward. Makes contests, takes marks, kicks goals, keeps out of Hogan's way (and vice versa), can ruck and can play back if needed. Winner on all counts.

After today, albeit vs no star ruck, you would still axe Spencer!?? He was a brute and I just loved his follow up efforts after centre clearances. Even made somed good choices and execution with the ball in hand. Who would you have as ruckman? I see you list vandenBerg !? Edited by monoccular

Frost and Peders streets ahead of Dawes, King closing in.

Hope to see White putting pressure on Jetta by the end of the year.

Couldn't be bothered trying to place them into positions nor do a full on review but this is my best 22 based on weighted average of stats so far this season (ranked on averages so it's fair vs games played). This may include too many talls etc due to the fact it's purely based on stats. Yes i know it's a horrid way of ranking but frankly i CBB going in depth this season given it's all over already (again).

1 Nathan Jones 2 Bernie Vince 3 Tom McDonald 4 Daniel Cross 5 Jack Grimes 6 Jack Viney 7 Dom Tyson 8 Lynden Dunn 9 Jeremy Howe 10 Jesse Hogan 11 Heritier Lumumba 12 Colin Garland 13 Jimmy Toumpas 14 Ben Newton 15 Aaron Vandenberg 16 Angus Brayshaw 17 Jack Watts 18 Cameron Pedersen 19 Christian Salem 20 Jake Spencer 21 Jeff Garlett 22 Max Gawn

Outside the 22 are....

23 Neville Jetta 24 Aiden Riley 25 Jack Fitzpatrick 26 Viv Michie 27 Chris Dawes 28 Jay Kennedy-Harris 29 Matt Jones 30 Mark Jamar 31 Billy Stretch 32 Dean Kent 33 Rohan Bail 34 Sam Frost 35 Alex Neil-Bullen

Out of those i would persevere with Jetta, JKH, Stretch, Kent, Frost and ANB.

I wouldn't mind seeing Watts tried as a Ruck rover type, provided we can improve his tank.

He has already shown he can do the 3rd nan up in stoppages.

He has proven he is not a KPP.

Mr Dee-luded ( good name ) the Dees list of quality places has more holes in it than a block of cheese,perhaps you should have left some of the positions blank,the backup players other than vander and stretch are shockers and most

probably will never see afl senior footy again. Our chances for finishing in the bottom two has improved since Carlton has just beaten Port Adelaide.How many of our existing players would get into a Hawthorn or Sydney? We always seem to

have a long way to go………. not even baby steps! Perhaps the club should have trialled several kids in last year's draft who were unlikely to be pick up by other clubs,you could get a diamond or more in the rough.If the Vander story is to

go by,basically he wasn't getting a senior gig with an A.C.T side, his determination to succeed is proof. Then again the club doesn't develop players!

if i had to pick the side i'd want playing for us tomorrow and everyone was fit i'd go with this:

B: Jetta - Dunn - Garland
HB: Salem - T. McDonald - Cross
C: vandenBerg - N. Jones - Vince
HF: Watts - Dawes - Brayshaw
F: Frost - Hogan - Garlett
Foll: Gawn - Tyson - Viney
I/C: Toumpas - Lumumba - Kent
Sub: Petracca
Emerg: Trengove - Kennedy-Harris - Howe

toss up btw howe and pedersen for that final spot.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
