  • 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.


Jack Watts wouldn't get a game at Hawthorn claims Dwayne

I don't dislike any caller.....I understand that they are "surprised" (for want of a better word) about the way we are playing at the moment. It isn't the way the old Melbourne play.    Anthony Hudson also made a few comments that the Dee's were playing great footy and said that the world wasn't used to it.

I don't hate Dwayne, at least he calls the play and does not go on and on like some of the special comments guys (Dermie, Jonno, etc) which ignores the ongoing action whilst they dwell on past glories or tell in jokes and have a giggle, meanwhile a goal has been kicked after some great play which remains uncalled.

It is his opinion, he is entitled to it.   I don't care either way.

Watts must be doing something right if they are talking about him. Keep up the great work Jack. This club is proud of you. Your strength of mind to keep going past all the cr@p thrown at you over the years. is incredible. You are a leader of men now and Duhwayne is a #$%^head.

The name Dwayne speaks for itself. Quite frankly, who cares what he thinks.

Sorry to all those cool Dwayne's out there by the way, but this particular Dwayne is a [censored].

I don't really care if Jack Watts is best 18 at the Hawks, or even good enough to make their list.

Why? Because Jack Watts is a Demon, he's a club man, he's super talented, he's definitely in OUR best 18, and, relevantly, this club is on the right trajectory. It's absolutely on the way up, and Jack will be an integral part of the journey.

Keep it up Jack. Eat a bag Dwayne.

Typical Dwayne Russell comment on 3AW just now.  Thankfully Richo and Gerard put him in his place.  I agreed entirely with Richo that JW in a better team would be even better, but I'm just glad we are starting to find form and he is reaping the benefit of time in a particular role.  

He has always had the ability, and as we get better his impact will be even greater.

If the headline is correct Dwayne is right, unintentionally of course. Jack wouldn't get a game at Hawthorn because he is a deman and hopefully always will be

Cream rises and dead weight sinks.

Dwayne looks like an overfed insurance salesman.

I've never listened to anyone from SA and I'm not about to start.

Go eat a container load of bags of Dix D-Wayne!!!!

Of our current best 22 the players i think would be a walk up start to Hawthorn (on exposed form) are: Nathan Jones, Jack Viney, Bernie Vince, Max Gawn, Jeff Garlett, Jesse Hogan, Jack Watts, Tom Mcdonald Nev Jetta and maybe Dom Tyson ( when you consider O'rourke is getting a game most weeks i think Dom would squeeze in )

Who would you drop for Watts?

I'd take Watts over Tim O'Brien but apart from that it's not like there are a whole lot of players that Watts is better than.

If his current form keeps up it'll be a different story... but plenty of players have had good patches through largely disappointing careers.

I don't mind Brad Johnson. Used to [censored] me up the wall as a player, but I find his commentary pretty balanced. Can't say the same for Dwayne. He doesn't bother to hide his disdain for Melbourne. I'm just glad I go to almost every game so I don't have to listen to the [censored].

Great article by Robbo. He can write really well when he sticks to the facts rather than opinionating.

You know it's resonated when the comments on the article are all positive.

    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

    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
