  • 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.

“Dunny’s probably a little bit similar [to Brayshaw and Lumumba] – he hadn’t played a lot over the last couple of weeks as well.

“So they’re three that from a fitness point of view, we were able to leave out, based on the form of some of our current players.”

 

He's not ready to play, in the eyes of the coaches. Neither is Brayshaw. Neither is H.

You don't know better than they do. Neither does that other idiot claiming he wont buy a membership if Dunn doesn't play.

BUT he's been named emergency! You aint gonna name him as emergency if he aint right therefore he must be right!

My advice Lynden.... You are a much better player than Frawley Much Much Better so mate Check free agency !

If I were him I would be livid!

I'm sure many clubs out there ( Freo) would love your services!

Oscar Mc Donald FMD

This will come back to haunt us!

I never thought I'd see someone compare Dunn to Fyfe, but there it is.

Matt jones is a liability and only makes this side worse... How he still gets a game is beyond me??? Is he Paul's love child?

I've been a massive critic of his, but he was good in NAB challenge and he can play that negating half forward on those dangerous half backs.

Apparently Paul Roos and Simon Goodwin know a bit better than a few members of Demonland, crazy.

I find the reactions here intriguing.  We've gone in with basically the same side that won 3 NAB games and played great footy.  Shouldn't they be rewarded?

With the new interchange rules the last thing we need is to play guys who are underdone and we run out of legs in the last quarter.  I think they've played it very smart and selected the right side for this game.

This is the biggest thing, why change a winning team by bringing in blokes who may not be 100% fit.

A new year, judge him by what he does not what he did in past years. His speed will be welcome, just his disposal and defence need to be kept tight.

In what universe and on what planet is does Oscar Mc Donald get a game in front of Lynden Dunn???

Answer?? NONE!

I'll Say it!

THIS IS THE WORST SELECTION DECISION OF ALL TIME FMD!!!!

I'm livid, this is potentially a game changing decision

If Dunn is right then he plays, Absolutely no question!

Huge Huge gamble and massive fail in my book!

Oscar Mc Donald FMD!

 

We're into our 3rd year under Roos. He isn't silly and and especially now we're competitive and on the up. Good game to debut but  even though he looked so-so during NAB, so did rest of the team at times yet still won.

We're no basket case and hes obviously proven his spot in the team internally.

3rd year, Trust Roos!!

Totally agree Oscar was a liability in all 3 nab games. He can't stick tackles

The guy is 28z he isn't going to suddenly change into an asset. Let's hope this is the last game he plays for the club

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
