  • 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.

One thing I've noticed, which should be clarified.

His name is not pronounced 'Petrahca'.  Definitely 'Petracka'.

Hey skippy, get it right      Pet   rah cca !!!!!

what is the national costume of Cameroon?

Thought you'd never ask!

Cameroon has over 300 different cultural groups, so technically they don't have a national costume as such.

However, in international events they generally adopt the costume of the area around Bamenda, the largest city in the English-speaking part (Cameroon being, of course, about 70% Francophone & 30% Anglophone).

His teammates all seem to say Petracka, but I'm guessing it's because they call him "Track".  So when they give the extended version it automatically rolls off the tongue.

Can't go wrong with Christian!

Just hope he plays his role and doesn't try to do too much because he thinks it's expected of him, just do what is asked of you young man and all will be well with the world.

No one.

It's just that the things we normally learn aren't exactly... uh... useful? Is that the word?

I'm trying to say I've learned a lot about jolly good floggings on here.

If you were italian, Petrahcca is definitely correct. The "a" is the same as casa or allora and the emphasis is on the cc. Just saying. 

Isn't it wonderful what two wins does to Demonland. What a pleasant place it is at the moment.

We will destroy the saints if we move the ball anything like what we have been recently, the Giants sliced them open and their defense looks very VERY average when they can't get numbers back. 

Thinking Hogan is due for a big game as well. 

Looking forward to seeing Petracca out there, slightly dissapointed however that it's most likely at the expense of Brayshaw, would have been great to see all these young guns starting to get a few games together but we really need Gus to find some form, he's very important to us going forward.

I have a feeling hogan is due to kick a bag soon. Hope its against the saints. Brayshaw has been struggling but I love watching him play. He is total class.

You want useful now??!! Useless facts aren't useful unless they're useless.

And anyway, Cameroonians aren't into jolly good floggings.

Unless it's Nigerians on the receiving end. :)

    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.

    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
