  • 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.

You can't go from promising youngster to best full back in the game in 6 months, basically. Or at least, it's highly unlikely. He's showed what his absolute best output can be when all the stars align

Yeh, there aren't many better options under 25 for key position back/ probably not many better in the comp. Despite having some poor form in the last few weeks, he was not too bad this week. Comple

Sorry for sour note, Mc Donald has had a wretched 3 weeks

IMV Brainfades becoming more frequent! Happy to trade him for something better next season!

I don't disagree, you are. But seriously, who would we be available to trade for that is better, in your opinion?

I honestly don't see what has given you the thoughts that he is not going to be the future of our key back stocks

All 17 other clubs would definitely look to trade him in

Brayshaw - remind me....how many years has he been on our list? How many preseasons?

OMG - when he gets a few preseasons under his belt and a few games up he could be ok!!

Whilst I'm happy for the great win, they still have to sort out the kick ins, Dunn nearly always plays on right side and bombs the ball down the line, to predictable top sides wait for that and set up for it, having said that wasn't it great to see Jones come on and tell them a minute and a half to go, seems we can learn something after all.

Did well in the second half. Still a work in progress, going to be some misses along the way, but the upside is enormous.

Another pearler from PF.

You don't look at what happens over 3 weeks to decide what to do with a player, you look at what happens over 3 years.

BTW, Stevie J did a very good dive, on the replay he totally went for it when he felt the hand and the ump was sold the candy.

N.Jones - captain great captain

Dunn - stood up brilliantly

Watts - continued important role

Toumpas - quiet before subbing

Dawes - provided great contests

Viney - superb all game

Lumumba - fine rebounding game

Brayshaw - dynamic and exciting

Gawn - career best game

Tyson - looked more comfortable

Stretch - played his role

Cross - important in contests

Vince - prolific all day

McDonald - was rarely sighted

Riley - some useful touches

Neal-Bullen - can find ball

Garlett - perfect scouting game

Howe - 2 brief cameos

Jetta - didn't imbue confidence

Spencer - perfect Gawn foil

Bail - was rarely sighted

M. Jones - improved with confidence

Couple of minor things.

Bail=first time he did a job and completed it without losing concentration and letting opponent off the hook.

Spencer=played his best game and centre shutdown off opponents and not letting ball out of area was his best,also flew for marks down forward and had to be covered by geelongs spare down back,allowed others to run onto spillages.

Jack Watts=has been written many times about his momentum clangers,provided 2 yesterday which had people hanging their heads and hoping it wouldnt effect the result.

    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,

    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
