  • 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.


Around the grounds, round 11.

Gee that Dion Prestia goes alright, 38 possies against arguably the best midfield in the comp...anyone heard of him??

Come home, Dion. Despite what some say, we do very much need your services.

This is St Kildas injury list for Round 11

 ST KILDA
Player Injury Estimated Return
Jack Billings Ankle Test
Sam Fisher Hamstring TBC
Jimmy Webster Illness  Test

 

And Billings and Webster are playing vs the Crows!  Their list is a joke and their absolute best team is getting annihilated

They were always being held together by aging stars. I thought they'd stay in the middle of the pack for another season, but it seems they might be going down sooner.

I know...that just  #@!!! with my head.  Bolton, one year  ( not even ) with that rabble has got them actually up and about despite a fair share of injuries.

 

We, with our sooper dooper  you beaut "plan"  still see-sawing ..  I know we;re heading in the right direction but we just got overtaken by bloody  Carlton FFS !!

 

Carlton could possibly win 5 more games for the year.. They've a BETTER chance than we have on current offerings. 

I think it's hilarious. They need draft picks to build their ordinary list. Like St Kilda, Carlton's team is being held together be their older players, with very little coming through below that. Cripps and Weitering. Maybe Curnow in time. Anyone else? The higher they finish, the less likely they are to ever get anywhere with their current list. They need at least another year or two in the bottom 4 to get picks. Their spine is rubbish and their midfield is old. They're going nowhere. Bolton's structures and coaching are wallpapering their deficiencies for the moment, but they will be in big trouble if it continues.

The Saints are pretty lucky to not cop more stick in the media for their losses. Much of the footy media still bracket us with them i reckon but whilst its tru they beat us they have been absolutely smashed on several occasions and we haven't. That suggest they have fair way to go.

Based on their form in rounds 1,3,5,6,7,9 and 10.

Have a look at Carlton's form and the looming injury list of Stkilda

I think the bigger thing is with us the " Handover" has happened, in terms of our side now belongs to Gawn, Hogan, Viney, Tyson and co and the older boys are really playing supporting roles, that hasn't happened at the Saints, they're still relying on the older boys to carry the team on the most part and that's why we're much closer to a flag than they are.

It is still an absolute disgrace and blight on the FD and the playing list that we lost to both Essendrug and The Aints this year. 

The Roos era is 11 weeks away from ending and we are still a long way off where we should be. 

I expected this years performance in 2015

I will never understand why AFL players cannot kick an accurate pass to a running teammate...

we continually fail in this basic fundamental.

And yet we continue to be their [censored].

I am SO sick of losing to them, about as sick as playing against them at Etihad always and forever, even when it is our home game.

You were spot-on . Kudos. Really didn't think the Saints would get up for this one.

Haven't seen it mentioned on here yet so apologies if I'm doubling up, but Kurt Tippett and Gary Rohan are likely to miss against the Dees next week.  I still doubt we can win but it doesn't hurt.

I bet Neville Jetta will be involved in more one-on-one contests with Lance Franklin than Tom McDonald will.

    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.

    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
