  • 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.


All aboard the Oliver Express

Anyone else cringe for a second when he gets the ball thinking it's McKenzie? Might take me a while to get used to it.

Nar if Clarry Choo Choo is the ultra sleeeeeeeeek monorail number I have depicted 

Jordy Mc Kenzie is the "Little red Caboose behind the train"!

Clarry Choo Choo masquerading as the "Oliver Express" is meaner much meaner than some of the characters in the classic movie

"Midnight Express"

How lucky are we to have two young beasts like Oliver and Petracca?

It's like having Wolverine and Captain America, throw in Viney as Iron man

Need a small man for AntMan. I can visualize Kennedy in ant man mode.

When he learns to kick more precisely he will be an absolute gun. I made the comparison with Michael Voss when he first arrived and he seems to be vindicating that more as he gathers games under his belt. His first instinct is usually to hand pass, and he has sensational hands and vision in traffic. I wonder whether kicking has become such a non-proffered option because he is less confident or doesn't have time to clear traffic and balance himself. His hands and vision in packs are so good that maybe he is not ready or prepared when he gets clear. I am very excited about this guy! And he tackles for keeps!

When they're all fit and firing Imagine how scary it will be for other midfields to face Jones, Viney, VDB, Petracca, Oliver, Trengove, Bugg, Kennedy, Tyson, Vince around stoppages time and time again. Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! No let up. The Swans have this now and the Hawks and Cats have had it in the past. Midfields full of GRUNT!!!

Will be missed around the ball this week. He's already very important to us around stoppages so hopefully he is back in next week.

Absolutely will be missed LT. I hope Dom is in for an absolute cracker. 

Whilst I do like Oliver for the Rising Star still, I'll now concede that if Petracca can play the remaining games and play like last week, it will be all his.

Tyson has played well against Port in the past, IIRC. I believe in his first season with us he earned 6 Brownlow votes against them.

Saw this as well, but I think the poster meant Vanders. No confirmation at the moment either so I wouldn't look too deep into the story. Clarry should be good to go for this weekend and for the rest of the season.

I thought Clarry performed very well on Monday his 16 possesions were classy, in close and insicive. I particularly loved his bone jarring Tackle in the last quarter I think it was when he "Rag Dolled" some poor Magpie player and buried him almost into the underground car park! 

That plus mid 20ts "Selfless Acts"

Clarry Choo Choo/ Oliver Express stopping no stations.. Luv ya work son!

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.
