  • 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.

I just thought i'd start this thread so I could say let's drop OMac, Kent, Newton etc, etc, etc.

Nev Jetta, I don't know where we'd be without you. The only player who doesn't get intoxicated on their own bathwater after a win (over sides that are even worse than us).

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we play DUMB football sometimes. There was one point when Tmac marked on the back flank. Garland was well clear and calling for it on the wing. Tmac decides to switch to the opposite flank. Bad idea, bad kick, kicks inaccurately to a one on two. Contest, port win it and a Port goal. This was in the second quarter when we were fighting late in the quarter to get back. JUST DUMB!!!!! Momentum gone. Balloon pricked by stupidity! ARGHHHHH!

Garland could have a cracked cheekbone  according to roos. So can you get reported for accidently throwing your elbow back and doing that damage? 

Roos: I've got to take responsibility for not making more changes for this week. We spoke about it at match committee

Sounds like he may think that decision this week and may make a few.

I hope the selectors start this week with a clean sheet of paper and look long and hard at the players to ensure we are picking a team we think will win rather than picking a team we hope might win.

I would drop 7 on their play and form today and Viney might get a week on top of that for,being stupid.

OMac and Garland out of the backs with Wagner in line fora drop as well. Replace them with Dunn, Frost and Grimes. They coUtd not be any worse. 

Oliver, Vdb and Trengove to come into the midfield in place of Kennedy, Bugg and ANB.

get Dawes or Pedersen in in place of Kent.

Wake half the team and see if they can be bothered turning up.

In mix for Outs: Newton, ANB, maybe Kent and OMac (not sure we have a better option than him though), Garland (concussion?)

In mix for Ins: Trenners, Frost (back), Dawes/Pedo (forward) and Oliver

Require a jolly good flogging: Tyson, Garlett, Kennedy and Hogan's set shot.

Updates please?: Lumumble, Salem, AvB

OMFG  we are a developing team ..  saw a post elsewhere about our young/inexperienced list being a convenient "Ëxcuse" for our performance 

For me its more like the "Reason"

We will learn from this and realistically be in contention by 2018 as befits our current progress

Still hard to listen to though :mad:

In line to be dropped: Harmes, Kent, OMac, ANB, Newton, Kennedy (if injured), Tyson (if ill).

Too hard to say who will come in until Casey plays but we need a second tall (Pedersen/Dawes), we need to replace OMac who is simply not ready for AFL football right now. Oliver comes back if he's fit, and maybe Grimes or Trengove get their chance.

Garland was OK. But OMac is painful to watch. It's just like watching another young Zac Dawson. Seriously, what does he bring?

Dunn in for Omac.

Thought Wagner made some bad choices although he had reasonable numbers. Harry O in if fit.

I thought Watts was really good - medium numbers at high efficiency. But we need a proper second tall forward/2nd ruck (Watts to be the Gunston role).

Dawes or Pedo required back in ASAP. Maybe Newton out for that one.

Out OMac, Wagner, Newton.

In Dunn Dawes and Harry O.

Does it matter who is in or out?  Play any 22 fit players. This is the classic deck chairs shuffling match.  There is not the mental hardness  and resolve to overcome teams that habitually  kick the proverbial sand in our face. If we win it will be a greater aberration than last years win over Geelong.

    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.
