  • 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 confused. I'm certain Dawes won't be dropped. I'm certain Hogan will be included. I'm very confident Garland will be included. I'm almost as confident that the Footy Dept will want to reward the G

What rubbish is that! Bail in the guts and Hogan on the interchange? I doubt Bail is a definite starting 18 in preference to the seven listed on the extended interchange!

It's a Wednesday squad. Since squads aren't even released officially until Thursday evening, presumably it's just one someone completely made up. Someone who doesn't watch a heap of MFC, I'd say.

I reckon the whole 'too tall' dilemma will be solved by not selecting Hogan.

Just reckon they'll rest him another week and have him cherry ripe for our upcoming 5 game campaign at the MCG.

In- Garland

Out- Riley

Hogan is flying from Perth to Darwin to join the team. He isn't going all the way up there just to see crocodiles.

If he's ready, he's ready, if he's not, he's not.

They certainly won't be "resting" him.

The irony of someone who thinks themselves humorous missing the humor in a response about a lack of humor....

Must have missed it.

Worried about us going in too tall. It worked at the Cattery in perfect conditions, but a night game in Darwin will be played in slippery conditions that aren't conducive to taller players. Happy to back the selection committee, but if we bring in both Hogan and Garland then at least one tall player needs to make way as well.

Agree. As I have said before, those games are usually won by the good running teams.

Absolutely. I still remember the year we rolled Port up there in the dying moments after coughing up a 7-8 goal lead. We need as many runners as possible and I'm hoping we make the right changes to suit the conditions.

I would bring in Garland, Hogan and JKH and look at dropping, Bail, Spencer and Riley.

I think I read somewhere that JKH is likely to play VFL.

I would bring in Hogan and Garland

for Spencer and Riley.

Gawn has shown he can run a game out better than he could last year. Dawes can give him a break and Howey can go 3rd man up

Nic Nat will probably win the taps anyway so Id prefer not to have 2 inefffectual rucks out there

Gawn is yet to show he can run a game out. The only full game he's had as the number 1 ruck was against the Saints and he dropped off in the last Q.

With Pedders off and unable to give him a break we used Howe and Watts a few times but a tired Gawn made a couple of crucial mistakes in that last minute.

If we drop a tall it has to be Dawes, unless he's made a resurgence as a ruckman.

My old man was on the same flight as the team to Darwin, said JKH, Hogan and Garland were all there. Didnt see Spencer (but could easily have missed him(

I'm sure the old Pencil ain't an easy guy to miss.

    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
