  • 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.

So, no one has any faith in the team at all?  Anyone?  ANYONE?

 

I reckon we will win. 

 They have big issues in Goldy.

Another Thursday night of head scratching. That backline. Wow.

I don't mind the ins though. ANB is stiff but I'd back him to smash it again in the seconds this week. He won't toss it in.

Just looked at the Casey team and it is seriously tall to the point that it looks slow. Half forward line of Frost, Oscar and Max King. Dawes on half back flank, Weideman up forward and Spencer rucking that makes 6 talls to play in the wet on Sunday. I know that won't play where selected but selection is baffling and no Jones again and not on the injured list??.

Forecast is for rain.. Michie is s mud runner, will be good in conditions, probably explains 1 less tall?

That's good news for us. Oliver and Michie will excel in the wet.

Clearly ANB not on the radar at the minute.

Emergency. Certainly on the radar I would have thought. Perhaps not quite damaging enough with his disposal, or quick enough?

Jesus Chris why the [censored] was Dunn and Frost both dropped?

we are already being destroyed by tall forwards ...

Neither Dunn nor Frost would help us with tall forwards. Dunn was one of the reasons we were run over last week, and Frost isn't (yet) a KPD.

Radar might have been the wrong word, but he still misses out, so clearly they have him behind a number of players even though he has been in terrific form.

I guess after all the posts in the selection thread having a crack at the selectors for fluffing things up, we cant argue against a couple of the taller types being sent to the 2's in favor of a couple of in-form blokes, with a lower center of gravity being included if the forecast is for a wet day.

We would slam the selectors if we went in tall and it bucketed down.

We will get absolute teared up by Lynch and Wright. They will have a day out against our backline.

3 defenders and a fwd out

3 midfielders and a defender in. Generalised position wise but interesting all the same!

Maybe pedo plays back but then we are short up fwd and second ruck. 

Bad luck for Anb but it is not a good time to be an inside midfielder at casey

Yeah Well this should have been the team we went with LAST WEEK!!

Ok, was listening to Finey he just said cloudy and 27.

Just checked the forecast - cloudy and 26 for our game.

Maybe the poster who brought it up got confused with how the weather will be here on Sunday... ?

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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
