    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.

Dawes ? Couldnt be any worse than Pedo was yesterday. I dont think 5 changes will happen either unfortunately. Garland is finished, i didnt like the 3 year contract at the end of last season and i like it even less now, Poorest decision the list management team has made for a while.

Out Hogan ...... Needs to able to kick a min of 2-3 goals a game at the G. Let him go and get some confidence back at Casey monstering VFL defenders. That's where he got his hunger from before he started so well last year. He thinks he is an automatic selection each week. Thinks he has the club over a barrel with all the media hype over his contract . Apart from the saints game I have not seen anything this year that shows me he is worth the money that is reported he can earn. His kicking lacks penetration and before all the Jessie lovers get stuck into me, just answer this question , who  would you rather have kicking for goal in a final from 48m out on an angle to win the game for us at the G. Watts or Hogan?

This proves nothing.  Yes, watts, but he is the best kick in the team. 

Kernahan was a great FF/CHF but I would have preferred others to be having that shot.  Cloke, Richo, Neitz same.  It does not mean he aint a good footballer. But he needs to get a routine and continue with it and not change each shot.

Neal-Bullen on stand by for Vince

Lumumba on stand by for Jetta

Dunn on stand by for Pedersen

If none of the above three outs gets suspended i'd still be looking for Lumumba & Neal-Bullen to come in anyway. Probably at the expense of Hunt & Michie.

Would also like to see a fit Kent in, but hard to drop Stretch after that performance. Maybe for Harmes?

Sorry guys but both Jetts and BV are not going to be available this weekend, 100%.

I think BV will only be a week, as it was moderate contact but Jetta will get 2 i reckon.

Garland finished? he's contracted until 2018...Dunn 2017....bet list management wish they had their time over again

Garlands 3 year contract was the work of the current administration, we can only hope he came cheap. 

Im guessing he did.

This won't be popular but Grimes must be in the mix. Has done nothing wrong at Casey and was on standby for the firsts this week. ANB is a no- brainer. I think Funk and Wagner and due for a tune up at Casey,

Surely not.

Why not? Has been good at Casey, was designated emergency yesterday too wasn't he?

Aren't we passed the stage of caring what name is attached to in-form players?

Strong teams would use a game like Brisbane at the G to ease a bloke like Trengove back into AFL.

Is Hulett ready to replace Pedersen? Or Dawes' form good enough?

The players are struggling to react in that pseudo-press we are doing and the Bulldogs exploited it - so IN the players that know what they are doing in there, and OUT the rest.

I'm with you but for a different reason. Dropped mark in forward pocket (not a sin itself; everybody drops them occasionally) but then stood there flatfooted sulking, no pressure or effort while the doggies ran it out again. Needs to go back, get confidence and get some defense and repeat effort into his game.

I love his passion but his frustration kills it, doesn't get back into position after a point is kicked either.  I would not drop him yet, I hope the coaching staff know how to tame the beast, maybe music i have heard that works ;)

The annoying thing about our selectors at the moment is they think we can play this small back line every week. It worked against the Suns because after half time the ball hardly went down there. We knew the Dogs were are far superior side to the Suns and yet we play the same back line who struggled with the pressure. I don't know what Dunn has done to get off side but is a far superior defender than Garland. We also have been playing Frost as a forward when it was fairly obvious he is just not going to do well in that position. My team for this week would be as follows (this is if no one gets suspended which is unlikely for Bernie).

B:       Jetta           Dunn           Lumumba

HB:     Salem        TMac           Wagner

C:       Vince         Tyson          Stretch

HF:     Petracca    Pedersen    Kennedy

F:       Garlett        Hogan         Watts

R:       Gawn         Jones           Viney

Int:      Oliver         ANB      Bugg    Harmes

Outs: Michie (I like him but we can't play Salem, Wagner, Hunt and Michie in the same team as they all play similar roles and is behind those three IMO)

Garland (doesn't defend well enough and has no weapons) 

Hunt (loved his first few games but needs a rest and Lumumba can come back in if fit)

Ins: Lumumba to give Hunt a week off

Dunn to come in for Garland

ANB because he is just banging the door down

    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.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
