    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 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.

Thought it was a terrific team performance today, but there were some really important individual efforts as well. Viney and Gawn in the middle (they are becoming A grade) and Watts up forward. Bugg's disposal is messy and I'd say even poor, but his attack on the footy is usually first class.

It's also the best I've seen our zonal defence work. We still made some mistakes back there, so definitely some stuff to work on, but we had a couple of young blokes back there. Hunt's debut was exciting and Wagner built on his solid first week to play an excellent game today.

It was also interesting to see Kent spend some more time in the midfield this week. He still makes some silly mistakes, but if he continues to build, I'll happily ingest that humble pie come the end of the year.

Competition for spots is certainly heating up. Let's get that TV deal signed and a few more of these performances and Jesse will be signing on the dotted line.

Oh and thought Frost played his best game for the club. Not always great to look at, but his pace was really important today. Our press with Kennedy, Kent, Frost, Hogan and even Pedersen was fantastic. We also got our zones right all day. Collingwood didn't work hard enough and they are clearly down on confidence now, but they continually looked up and had no one to kick to when they had ball in hand. That's a credit to our organisation - Watts and Hogan also both showed terrific leadership at points, directing traffic from half back and ensuring their team mates were in the right positions.

I want to see us bury Richmond next week, but surely we've now dispelled those posters who say we haven't improved. Essendon was disgusting, but our last two weeks have been terrific. We've been far more consistent within games and that is a clear improvement on previous years.

I thought Tyson was much improved today, made a couple of mistakes but 24 touches, 6 tackles and 2 goals is getting back towards his best footy

I am feeling strange in 2016.

In spite of the poor game against Essendrug and the near miss last week I now expect to win games.

Very strange feeling after the last decade.

Please don't anyone wake me up.

Plenty to like about today.

Loved the 4 goals from Watts, and that was the standout.  He kicked 3 crucial goals when the game was up for grabs which was brilliant.

Bit of love for Viney? He has been A grade this year.

I think some need to man up and give Paul Roos an apology. After the Essendon game many wanted him gone and replaced with Goodwin.

At the end of the day Roosy is still the top dog. Forget about Goodwin for now. We know what we'll get from him in the future.

Time to kill off any ounce of confidence the tigers may have next week.

The only part of today that i am fairly dissapointed was our inability to really put them to the sword, we should have won today by ten goals plus, as we push up the ladder we need the % boosts especially with the comp so close.

Hyperbole. You were in the box were you? 

Mooney you are a serial over reactor, Emerald may have meant the different styles in play were evident (OR NOT). We won and different approaches/ styles will be required from time to time. Go listen to Gawny speak about the challenge of playing different styles of ruckmen. I apologies, I forgot you will over react to what I said and find a way to be obnoxious about my comments.

We beat the Filth in a game they have pumped themselves up for.... and we beat them convincingly.

 

Now read tomorrows papers and see how Colonwood are "in crisis", and MFC barely rate a mention.

I'm very glad we won.

 

Would hate to have seen you 'tarding it up on here again after another loss ;)

Can't believe the pin heads in the press making Collingwood favorites, with comments like Melbourne are really a team they should beat. Have they really watched them play the past few weeks?

    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'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
