  • 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.

1 - it wouldnt be an issue if people just did everyone else a favour and linked/named their source, which takes about 2 seconds

2 - apparently the source is unreliable anyway isn't it

LOL your the only one who has serious issue with it.

Bizkit posted his source yesterday and you had a mid life crisis/cry about it ya [censored] sook!

Grow up FFS and stop acting like a spoilt little child and taking personal swipe at people who post relevent information.

Can we not fill up yet another thread with this stuff, please?

Stick to the game fellas.

Agreed!

Grimes the sub is interesting. Does he come in as a midfielder or backman? Personally i would have gone for Brayshaw.

I would have gone Bail.

Only things I can think of are:

1) Grimes has a bit of that flu kicking around the club

2) First half = Attack attack attack, Second half = Total lockdown

Strangely I kind of like it in a way cos at least Roosy is being a bit bold.

Fair point actually on Bail. Forgot about him. Wonder if he has a tagging role though?

Btw Daisy Pearce is an absolute gun. 30 plus touches in the womans.

Last 5 times we have played them in real games (ie not pre season) we have won two and not lots by more than 20 (6, 16 and 20).

We should go OK today.

Yeah, we've seemed to match uo well against them for a few years now. Having said that, I have no idea what to expect today. We could lose by 100 or win by 4 goals. Who the heck knows?

Yep, thought bail would be the sub. Grimes is a strange sub, not the type to come on and kick a few goals, as a defended its hard to join in the last and shut a player down.

As a mid... Well he hardly plays in there does he.

Yeah im wrapped ANB is getting a full game. Lately he has been really good when on the ground.

... and, um, not so good when he isn't! :rolleyes:

(I know what you mean, I just couldn't resist)

Grimes the sub... I'm not sure about that...

Hardly an "impact player". Strange one IMO.

the difference in ball movement between the two teams is ridiculous

Dogs from their defensive goal square to a shot on goal in about 15 seconds

Dees take about half an hour to get a ffw 50 entry

    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

    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
