  • 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.

Got bored watching Collingwood get flogged, so I turned it over to the North game, and straight away got a shot of Brad Scott with his mouth open and hands in the air. There just aren't the words to s

If any club desperately needs a reality check this year it's Richmond. They are in deadset lala land talking premierships and "age of supremacy". Until they and the well-wishing media stop kidding themselves about the quality of their list, they're going nowhere. Hardwick can say he believes in the players all he likes. It doesn't magically make them any better.

Carlton should've won that game. They seemingly won't be walk overs this season.

Bolton has given Carlton a very basic plan to work with so that they can compete in games.  They are basically playing 1-1 defensively then when they get the ball they do a quick switch to the open wing and run like hell to provide options ahead of the ball.  Tonight showed that it is an effective way to keep in the game, but they didn't have the class to finish the job.  A lot of their ball movement into the forward 50 reminded me of Melbourne 2 years ago when our only plan of attack was the high long bomb and hope like hell someone marked it.  I'm fairly sure we'll see them get smashed by the better sides in much the same manner as well. 

Richmond on the other hand showed us that they are still weak in the same areas.  They don't like physical pressure.  If a team sits off them they can execute freely, but if you hit them hard and don't give them room to breath they tend to fall apart.  Should be very interesting when we play them.  Our game right now could have been designed specifically to upset them. 

On to more important matters now.  How good were the Socceroos tonight?   7-0, and could easily have been 10 or more goals if we hadn't hit the post so often.  We saw a number of our younger players stepping up and showing that they are ready to take up spots in the starting side as well.  Talk about developing depth, we have half a dozen world class attacking mids fighting for three spots, a ready replacement for Timmy Cahil about ready to go and two captains who are basically clones sharing the defensive mid duties.  The only real issue the side has is settling the right and left back spots.  Really looking forward to Tuesday Night. 

I am not as sold on Luongo as others are, but he definitely goes ok. Rogic and Mooy on the other hand are potentially world class footballers. Rogic just needs to keep his body right and get fit. And Mooy is ready to move to a big league.

Anyway, wrong sport.

Kind of agree on Luongo.  I think his spot in the side is in danger with Rogic and Mooy improving.  I am wondering if Mooy won't find his way to Man City some time soon too.  He's certainly ready to step up to a better league.

Pep will be shopping for the best players in the world. There are City players better than Mooy that will be having their papers signed - Navas, Fernando etc.

Baby steps for Mooy. Making it into the squad of any Prem side would be a great achievement.

Hopefully Rogic can stay fit and get plenty of gametime over the next 12 months. He's one of the better prospects heading towards the next WC.

Yep, Manchester City is a bridge too far, but I think Mooy is good enough to be a regular for a premier league club outside of the big 4 or 5.

Would love to see Rogic get fit and have one more huge year at Celtic. He has shown many flashes of brilliance this year, but just can't get the continuity with his fitness. One consistent year and then he can make the move to a decent club in England/Spain/Germany.

Anyone else get the sense the Saints may go backwards this year? i just feel they rely far to much on older guys and the young players just aren't that good, with a couple of exceptions 

Agreed. Riewoldt they had several guys play out of their skin last year and they still finished below us. I can't see them improving.

One of their former "older guys" is captaining Essendon. I suspect they will go backwards at a greater rate.

At Metricon: GCS 68pts vs EFC 25pts near end of 2nd qtr.  18 scoring shots to 5.

Its going to be a long, ugly winter for the bombers.:)

Can't wait to see their fans race to get off the bandwagon.

Their rally to the G next week may just be one great big fizzer!!

    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
