  • 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 For Next Week



Recommended Posts

I would be interested to have a look at White considering Vanders is out for the season. Effectively we won't see Petracca, Vanders or Trenners so why not promote him before the Blues match and see how he looks? Maybe he can replace Jetta.

He's been in good form so why not...

There is no logic is continuing to play someone who looks spent because "they'll get a break in three weeks anyway". You're placing them at greater risk of injury for a start. If Brayshaw is cooked, which he appears to be, he should be rested.

You'd fancy Fitzy's chances for a call up after his haul on the weekend. Probably a good move in using the last few weeks to formulate final decisions on any list changes.

Misson reckons Kent will play this weekend, obviously in the Magoos although I hope we get to see him again before EOS, as unlikely as it is.

Out: H, Bail, Jetts (inj)

In: White, Newton, Salem

Going by Roos Views comments, Whats the best team that we think can [defeat Carlton?] Its a really important week for us to bounce back. Well pick the best 22 regardless of whether theyre from Casey, who lost on the weekend or from our team, which was really poor on the weekend, I reckon White will be a sneaky chance. Lamumba is horribly out of form and I reckon Roos can no longer persist with him and should give a run to a project player who's really been showing something.

In Case anyone has missed it I am a BIG White fan soooo

WHITE: in

I DON'T GIVE A STUFF : out

( hnmm that might cover more than one!??

Agree Let's have a look at White and perhaps a last look at Fitzy and bring in Salem. Give Brayshaw a rest, out are Bail and Jetta injured.

three games left we need to check some fringe players out before we mark cards etc.

On that note, I'd like to also drop Gawn for Spencer, Hogan for Fitzy, Cross for Terlich and Vince for Riley.

Also, Dawes for the aforementioned "Scarecrow with Dawes' face on it" - Don't want to make the tanking too obvious, have to improve on paper somewhere.

Any chance Nate Jones gets a break this week, one so he doesn't die on the field, and two so he doesn't have to play his 200th in Perth??

To be fair, given the career Jones has had to endure, getting an absolute shellacking on a Sunday arvo in Perth would be a rather appropriate way to bring up the milestone.

I want Hogan out for one, N Jones, Vince as well. We need to make a statement to the playing list. I am just not sure what the statement is at the minute!

Brayshaw has been spent since that tackle in the first minute against the cats..

He has been tagged very well, taken out of the game. Somethiong he'll have to learn over the pre season, how to shake a tag.

Send him out for a break.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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,
