  • 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.

Congratulations Josh Wagner

Josh Wagner to debut for Demons on Sunday. I've liked the look of him for some time, "Another who seems to have the size and speed to play senior footy is Wagner" - from my training report on Wednesday. I'm pleased to say he has been sitting on the bench in my Dreamteam!

Well based on yesterday's performance I was proven wrong and gladly so. Don't you love it when previous posts come back to bite you on the arse? This is one example of where I'm happy to admit it

His selection has zero to do with Petracca or Trengove.

You're confusing name with occupation. Wagner was a composer.

Wow , that is a big call, they must really think he is ready and up to it.

Most likely ahead of Petracca and Trengove.

Dunn should be in as well.

Choosing to look at the positives. He's a good size. Attacks it pretty well and he can kick a footy. His game against the Saints was a classic example of what I'd call a good bad game. He was dreadful, but it was because he kept putting himself in the play and with more composure he could've been very good. He started to play much better in the 2nd half.

1. Every time he has the ball means Lumumba doesn't have it

2. Vince goes back to the midfield

3. Salem gets dropped with a message to lift his game and become the quality player we think he can be. And if Wagner can hold down a back flank then Salem can play forward/mid which is even better.

Good luck to the lad.

Not surprised at all you wrote this    so written off before a shot fired  you never know he might be replacing Garland

good for him. Definitely won't solve our poor kicking woes, but he has a crack.

He kicks it as well as anyone on our list at training. Time will tell if he can translate that to games.

does he have leg speed,   I'm imagining him off the halfback flank or wing?

He's not slow, but for a half back flanker isn't quick either. He won't break the game open with blistering runs but might be able to link up and get the ball forward.

So not overly quick & with so so disposal by foot,  sounds like a defensive winger  or run with player ? 

unless Garlett is out injured,  & Salem moves forward of halfback flank ?

He didn't say that at all and you know it.

I'm in the same boat about not being sure - not because I've written him off, but because I'm not totally sold on the fact that he's ready. I hope like hell that I'm wrong, but it's certainly an interesting selection. 

And all the best to him on his elevation. Let's hope he can make a positive contribution on Sunday.

And im not surprised its you nip picking at people queries about this selection. Fool.

And for your information i like Wager as a player and hope he becomes a successful playet but his Nab challange was pretty average and he didn't look ready. Hopefully he's improved since then.

There's a difference between writing someone off and having doubts over whether they're ready to play AFL...  

Based on his NAB Challenge form he doesn't look ready, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

    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,

    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

    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.
