  • 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.

6 - McDonald ( versatile performance and no coincidence we lifted when he went on ball )

5 - Vince ( far from his best but at least he racked up possessions )

4 - Viney ( lost in the first half mire , but redeemed in the second)

3 - Harmes ( still very rough but his endeavour couldn't be faulted)

2 - Dunn ( held up well despite the onslaught and wasn't embarrassed)

1 - Hogan ( for 3 goals , little else)

6 - McDonald - one of a few bright sparks yesterday. Poor guy got burnt by his teammates in the back 50 but stood up strongly.

5 - Watts - first 3 quarters were great and 2 important contested marks. If his team mates moved and lead when he had the ball (looking at you Bail) we wouldn't have the silly turn overs

4 - Hogan - how did he get 3 goals? Seriously with our delivery!

3 - Viney - strong second half to help get us some respectability

2 - Harmes - 9 tackles. Some disposal error but 9 tackles

1 - Grimes - 2 good quarters of football where he just controlled the football. Was going to give to Michie who played a solid second half but Grimes was switched on from minute one.

6. McDonald (Dominant, back to his best despite some errors)

5. Viney (This kid is a jet, always in awe when I watch him)

4. Watts (Played well despite errors)

3. NJones (Down on form at times but still in the top)

1. Michie (I don't even like him and hope hes delisted but he did play well today)

6 Viney (When umpires realise that a player will bend down to pick up the ball and is not 'ducking', Viney will get 4 more kicks every outing)

5 McDonald (5 costly turnovers in the first 45 minutes but didn't drop his bundle and worked back into the contest in a different role)

4 Watts (our best in first half when all else was diabolical)

3 Hogan (3 goals from limited entry)

2 Harmes (Takes the game on... a lot in common with S Tingay at the same stage)

1 N Jones (kept trying to lift lazy, bamboozled mates with limited success)

6 McDonald (After a couple of early howlers he just kept taking game on. Move to ruck was smart tactic)

5 Viney (Kept at it as he always does)

Hard from here and plenty of psuedo-worthy candidates.

4 Dunn (not smashed by Redpath)

3 N.Jones (was classy when he got it, but getting it wasn't easy)

2 Watts (looks better in air these days)

1 Garlett (probably unfair on Harmes, but both applied pressure - Jeffy just a bit classier).

I left half way through last quarter (considered leaving halfway through the first) but here it goes

6. Viney (shows more heart and endeavour than the rest of team put together)

5. Hogan (keeps presenting and crashing packs)

4. Dunn (composed and the Torps)

3. McDonald ( defensive errors but also many saves)

2. Watts (if only he can stop those 2-4 most ridiculous errors)

1. Garland ( pick from a hat)

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
