  • 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.

Dave Misson on the MFC website has basically said the AFL article is rubbish - Garlett will 'absolutely, definitely play on Sunday."

A bit of good news this week is nice for a change.

What seemed strange about Misson's statement was that he basically says Jeffy will definitely play and implied he'll play even if he doesn't train on Friday. I would have thought that wouldn't be the greatest preparation. Then again, I'm no expert...

Garlett must have wanted to get inside out of the rain !    If so,  maybe they should drop him,  if he didn't like the wet weather ! 

I hope I'm wrong,   & this is not a sign of laziness & cockiness in him.

What the Fk?

Do you seriously proof read before you post rubbish like FMD. And the fact is you have pot shot a player for no particular reason.

Idiot

ahh, g'day Idiot.

 

Tthe guy just turned his ankle, It  was retaped out on the paddock & then immediately sent for a straight-line run to test,  and after only 20mtrs he said its too sore.  I have to go inside.

 

...  now Misson says he's a definite starter.

 

I said I hope he is not getting lazy/soft already,  after his iffy time with the Blues.  and I said I hope I'm wrong.

You are wrong and a simpleton. Its quite obvious he was in a fair bit of pain and needed attention on. Its not laziness or soft its a fact.

To say he should be dropped because he might have faked is quite bizzare and one im not surprised it came out of your mouth.

FFS..

just putting a left field possibility out there,  just in case there is rot setting in..

 

We all around the club,  the coaches & us supporters in the social media,  have all got too far ahead  of ourselves, & last match this showed itself in our footy.

 

Today,  it sounds like jeffy couldn't get inside quick enough,  & all & sundry said,  'a bad roll of ankle'.   Now,  hours later our chief fitness man says all's clear,  100%.

I would be bustin' to stay on the park to get a full session in,  just as Trenners would.

 

.....  so all in all,  I think we should be guarded with jeffy,  just to keep him on his toes.  I think some observer said he played a good 15minutes last week.   leopards & spots, & all that.

 

It always concerns me when supporters start getting too far ahead, & the players here & feel this optimism during the course of they're week, out & about.  It does effect them.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
