    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.

I mentioned this a month ago but worth repeating. I attended a function prior to the Saints game where Josh Mahoney got up and spoke about a few players. It was Michies first game back for months from

One thing i notice significantly was at times he showed real break away pace. Something i haven't seen from him before. I think he will play the rest of the year out and kept on for next year. Persona

Gotta be at least 5-6 others on the list worthy of delisting before Viv. He's a great kid, too. Would be sad to see him cut loose.

Mate Riley is finished. Will be rightfully delisted at the end of the year.

Settle down.

You posted your opinion. I happen to disagree.

Ok then I'd be happy to hear ' I happen to disagree'. The 'Of course' struck me as dismissive and a tad unfriendly. Over and out for me. Let normal programming resume.

Not my intention to be dismissive or unfriendly.

When you said, 'my opinion' I replied with of course, alluding to your comment.

Anyway, all good.

Living 3 hours is hard. I had planned to go to the GWS game as i am in Melbourne that weekend but they can get [censored].

If thats the case then might aswell give Terlich Mckenzie Bail to see if they are up to it. Riley is finished.

I was so proud of Michie today! Solid effort and really showed us what his got- his best game yet :)

He makes good decisions, is among the top in goal assists, and he has pace. He is definitely a ball-winner and I like how he plays.

Thanks Samael for the interesting stats and all the Michie-fans!! :)

See what impact starting on-field has? That hasn't happened often...and today I thought Michie was BOG :) He was rewarded for his hard efforts all the times he was named on the I/C bench, still solid efforts then too.

Keep up the good work Michie!! :blink::roos: Roos: 'I thought Michie was good for us today, he showed a lot'

He's been better the last few weeks, cleaner with the ball, covering more ground. I still think he's only depth as he doesn't seem to have the speed or nous to do much forward and so far he hasn't held down a spot in the midfield. But hey he's far better depth than some. Once again he's another I'd love to see have a huge preseason and smash all his running times.

Agreed. Michie's on the fringe though.

Surely: Bail, Terlich, McKenzie, Jamar, Howe, Garland, Riley, M Jones, Toumpas. It'd be dependent on who we think would come in to replace them. I'd be tempted to keep Michie at this stage. Only for depth though.

Seriously, how the hell did we get to the stage of delisting a pick #4 from 3 years ago?

FMD this club is infuriating.

I'd be looking for a trade, but I'd easily part with a 2nd rounder at this point.

I can't see anything inside a top 15 pick for Toumpas at this rate.

No, although if could package him together with another pick or another player, we might make it work for ourselves.

I think people need to stop looking at supercoach and dreamteam scores and look at the actual impact a player has on the game. Michie is our best Goal assist player, largely because he's the only mid we have who has even the slightest notion of how to kick to a forward. He also rarely sells a teammate up the creek the way most of his teammates do. His fundamentals are far better than the rest of the team. His output has steadily increased as he gets more time in the senior side. There are about 18 players in line to be dropped before him at the moment.

You can stop defending your son, I'm fairly sure the pervading view is to keep him for now.

I hardly think 6 goal assists in 9 games with an average of .07 (equal 71st in the league) constitutes a goal assist expert.

Viv's OK, but nothing more than that.

Viv has played just 9 games for the season , with some of those as the sub with hardly any game time

Yet he ranks 7th at the club for total goal assists, and 2nd for goal assists per game!!

He is underrated

    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. 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

    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
