  • 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.

Nice to see that you're wrong, again, picket.  Well done.

Weeds is still a weed picket - if we see him at all it won't be until near season's end. Petracca - I'm tipping in two or three weeks.

we won't see Petracca or Trenners, ANB, Brayshaw, Garlett and Pedders should come in. I doubt weeds would come in either.

Harmes and Kent definitely not in the gun IMO.

I'd be happy with no change.

M. Jones was our fourth highest possession player (even if some went awry) . Bugg more likely to,lose his spot.

Kent did kick 4... He was poor in other areas but doubt he'd be dropped after that. Harmes was there abouts again, did enough. 

Frost is not a footballer, drops easy marks, doesn't provide much in the ruck. Having said that he is been played out of position. Needs to go back to Casey and play down back. But dropping him again really is ridiculous.. What's the point in dropping him one week picking him the next.

Vanders needs to lift. 

Petrecca isn't ready. We may go in unchanged

Kent kicked four, but I thought his first half was poor, and he hasn't been great all year, two of his goals should have been passes to people in better spots but he kicked them so that's ok. I still think he doesn't do enough around the ground, but I could be wrong.

TBH I did not realise Harmes had ten tackles.

Vanders and Bugg should have also been in that group.

Yes M jones got the ball a lot, also slammed them onto his boot without looking again like he use to, besides I think ANB or Brayshaw are upgrades for him.

Has too be a few changes surely we cant abide losses any longer for any reason.. We lost  and the seconds won  by a truckload. Clearly we have massive talent on the verge.

So who didn't play well today?

I know we are all trying to get Matt Jones out of the team, but he is comfortably best 22 at the moment.

He had a lot of clearances today, so why is him slamming the ball onto his boot in the clinches any different to Bernie?

Frost or Pedders ....... that's a major dilemma for me.  They both bring totally different things to the table (crockery & cutlery) but we desperately need the full setting.  It's pointless chopping and changing them week about, so I'd probably keep the faith with Frost.  He is more the 'future' than Pedersen, and hopefully playing forward and back-up ruck will 'click' for him soon.

Will Vince earn a holiday(?) ..... and if he does, will he be replaced by ANB or Brayshaw? .... another dilemma!  

Jeffie should be an automatic inclusion if he's fit so Bugg or Vanders might have to give way.  Down to likely match-ups I guess, but I'd prefer to give Vanders another week, because we know what he can do.

This one will be close to it.  AVB and Bugg have been average the last few weeks, and Garlett would be an automatic inclusion, while Brayshaw seems to have responded well to being dropped.

If you are suggesting he should get a holiday for the bump on Ziebel then I suggest you stop following AFL

AVB has been seriously disappointing so far this season.

That is a harsh piece of advice to a poster who is never anything but completely civil. Especially since you are barking up the wrong tree regarding what incident it was.

    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

    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
