  • 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.

Changes next week v The Saints

I wholeheartedly disagree with everyone who reckons Harmes needs a rest. He's played 2 senior games, and is still gaining momentum. Nothing in the way he played yesterday said "tired" to me. I have n

No, not 'bang'. Look, I'm not stuie's biggest fan and he says some ridiculous, rude, petulant things sometimes (the stuff with KC is a perfect example). But coming onto threads, waiting for someone

I would play Toump and I would send him to Montagna. He played on him last time and was shattered after the game when Joey kicked the winning goal. It would be a real opportunity for one of Roosy's

I think, for this week at least, Stretch and Harmes are safe. JKH and ANB would be the logical players to miss, with possibly a Michie/Newton/Riley to replace them to give them a rest for the week.

I can't see Roos making 4 changes to a winning side.

No way Salem next week. Couple of the young ones looking tired so time to rotate them out. JKH has not made the most of his two weeks in.

Neither can I but the four mentioned were poor Jhk and ANB definately did not earn their spots.

JKH had a shocker, no doubt about that. He is clearly struggling at the moment and it wouldn't surprise to see him dropped.

ANB has plenty of upside but, after being the sub, you would think he might have a rest in the magoos as well.

We have a few who can replace their current output, such as Toumpas, Michie or Newton as well, so it would make sense to make 2 changes and stick with the rest.

Salem is going to play in the development league next week, if all goes to plan. He's absolutely no chance of playing against St.Kilda.

In. Riley, Newton

Out. JKH, ANB

JKH is a worry, if you're small and not fast then you need to be clean and creative, he was neither today. ANB had no impact as the sub so I'd give him a spell.

Yes he did but he attacked the game all be it turned it over a lot. We're not playing finals and have an easy draw, I'd like to see him get a run of games. Others have had their chances. He manages to find himself in space with the ball. Needs to work on awareness and disposal. Has potential.

I don't doubt his potential at all, and if he can show improvement then he can become a very handy player for us.

But he was poor today (I assume we are talking about JKH... ?) and, in light of a quiet few weeks, might miss the Saints game for one of the players I mentioned earlier.

It feels like yesterday that we played St.Kilda and here we are playing them again. Meanwhile, we played the Suns in Round 1 and won't be seeing them again for at least 8 months, and we haven't played Carlton in 15 months. Strange fixturing! Not that it really matters.

Salem back??

No way, been out for yonks with consecutive hammies. If he's ready, he can join Kent for a half in the VFL Dev league.

JKH and ANB for whichever of the VFL revolving door players are currently at the front of the queue. Grimes and Michie I guess. Wouldn't be averse to only one or neither of those changes. There definitely won't be four changes - Stretch and Harmes going OK for mine.

Yes, JKH. You're right he was poor. The names you've thrown up Michie/Newton/Riley all deserve another crack. We've got 8-9 games left?? I'd like Roos to try and get game time into those guys. Maybe say well play Michie/Riley/Newton for 4 games regardless of form, giving Stretch/ANB/JKH a rest then swap them back for the last couple. Maybe keep Stretch and rotate the others. Something along those lines.

Neal - Bullen was sub so he doesn't need a rest I would have thought. I'd be surprised if Salem and Kent were ready. Maybe Toumpas for Stretch.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
