  • 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.


MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 18

Wow and I thought I was cursed.....

I don't mind shelling out once a year, but hopefully its not too much to ask to be in the game at half time, this time round. Shelling out for it to be all over at half time is painful :.)

Not only that - I was at the 2001 Footy Park comeback v the Camry Crows but had to bail early.

I thought we played some outstanding footy on QB against them. I'm hoping no one in the team says we owe them before the game.

Dawes might come out and make a statement with his toothy Adelaide private school accent.

Sends a shiver down your spine.

The same hard hitting lingo used by Alexander Down Syndrome in 25 years of political flouncing, leading to zilch.

I like the settled side , give the kids a chance and hopefully clunker/clanger Dawes can redeem.

If you wanted to start dropping blokes for errors etc last week we'd probably have Viney and Gawn v 22.

I haven't seen one ever.

Jeezus!

When an administrator of the clubs main online forum has never seen a win , I reckon that's as big a statement as ever in regards to this clubs recent history. FMD , this club needs to get its [censored] sorted.

I'm going to email the club and ask if they can wear 'Nasher' on their arms next week.

What a [censored] indictment.

It was made clear that he is regaining match fitness via Casey. He played around a half last week and has been named again this week.

I have no problem with this. As much as I want to see Salem in the senior side, it's best to be conservative.

Thanks mate - I've been a bit out of the loop so wasn't sure what's been going on. Have been pretty busy and not really inclined to seek out info on the Dees the last few weeks for obvious reasons so thanks for the heads up.

Such pessimism! There is every chance we will embarrass the Pies this week. Their form has been a bit shaky. Ours has been a little disappointing, I'll admit, but we have not lost five in a row.

Perhaps if we all say the board's prayer:

Our Nathan, who art in the middle,

Hallowed be thy game.Thy clearing run. Thy kick to Viney is direct, As in the game plan.Give us this day our Bernie Vince.And forgive us our turnovers,As we destroy them that wear black and white. And lead us not into hesitation, But deliver the ball quickly. For Hogan is the target,

The Demons, take the glory,

For ever and ever.

Amen

Haha that is brilliant just sent to my family.

Nasher, my heart broke when i read this.

We've all suffered but at least i got to enjoy the come back against freo in 2008 and the build up in 2000 and the delerium of the first 3 weeks the finals series.

When the ship turns i hope you're still on it.

I must admit, I'm pretty sure it isn't sinking.

Although it is pretty stagnant, adrift if you'd like, and i think our biggest risk is that at some point they'll decide to scuttle it.

    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.

About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
