  • 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.

I'm disappointed that number 2 draft pick isn't playing...

Why TF are we comparing him with just Collingwood players? Anyway, I think he's more like Brody Grundy.

Confirmed MFC website.

Good luck to the kid.

Might sound silly but I see a lot of Dane Swan in him.

Just 15 kg lighter! Hopefully as effective

A bit, I should have said a bit!

Probably most excited about this kid of our draftees, because these are the picks we need to make count too, and I really think he will.

I just hope his mate Billy manages to stay in the side to run out beside him.

IMO a bad call by the club.

ANB needs more time and conditioning.

I would debut ANB round 16-17 onwards, just to give him a taste.

We've been decimated by injuries and ANB is coming off a good run of form in the VFL. The Saints are a young side. Absolutely the correct call, just as selecting a raw Brayshaw in Round 1 has proven to be.

I haven't seen much of ANB, but he clearly has no trouble winning the football. 35 possessions at his age is an amazing achievement in the VFL. I expect him to make a good fist of it.

He was coming in the top 3 in some of our running tests in some of his very first training sessions. Former state-level runner and has had a dominant month at Casey playing on-ball. I think he is good to go.

Decimated by injuries but we've dropped a mature kid in Newton. As far as I know he isn't injured. I don't think it's the right call to play ANB quite yet.

Unlike Brayshaw, ANB didn't have a pre-season, has had issues with his knee, and still needs conditioning.

IMO it is a bad call. Of course, I will be much happier to be wrong on this one.

No its more to do with play the way I want the game to be played and you will get a game, especially midfielders and it seems that Roos is now demanding that not asking for it, the heat is now on the players to do it.

How could it be a bad call? What do you think is going to happen to him out there?

Worst case scenario, he gets subbed off in the 3rd and comes out of it with an understanding of what is required to play in the AFL

Swan is the best comparrison. Runs all day so I'd say Stretch for sub and ANB to come off at 3qt. Really looking forward to his debut. More excited about him than I was about Brayshaw. I really felt we nailed this draft as they were all safe picks. Petracca and Brayshaw led Metro and ANB and Stretch led SA. I want to be right about it at AFL level.

Excited for the lad. Right from draft day where I was pumped we got ourselves a steal at pick 40 considering the Saints were tipped to pick him at pick 20 for a while.

All the best Nibbler!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
