  • 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.

Surely we are not going to do a Jack Watts to the Weed!

Hasn't been named in both sides mate. Highly doubt it.

Having a weekend off from playing myself i was looking forward to watching him play live. Again as usual nothing from the club to explain this which annoys me.

Gut feel after today's session is they wont risk JV. Tad too early, possibly unable to grapple etc. Hope I'm wrong but just going on the overall look rather than anything specific

I have to say I am looking forward to our forward line next year.   The Hulk, Weeds, Watts, Dawes and the smalls.  We will be very hard to match up on 

Dawes?

No thanks.

Not a punctuation guru, but I did have to check twice regarding this quote. All good

None the wiser on JV:  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-06-11/tough-demon-jack-viney-completes-training-ahead-of-pies-clash?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=RSS+feed%3A+AFL+Latest+News

Viney, who trained in a glove on his injured left hand, moved between the main group and a separate rehab group at Gosch's Paddock.

The Demons' team will be named later on Saturday, with coach Paul Roos and assistant Brendon McCartney holding lengthy talks with the 22-year-old towards the end of the one-hour session.

I wonder if they will name him and give him another day and if necessary replace him with an emergency, at the last minute tomorrow.

I asked Jack Viney said he was playing the hand is fine    if that means anything he was handballing and using it to mark the ball

Grimes and Michie watched training

Asked about Garlett to a few    same answer   down on form   so a freshen up with Casey

Salem's issue has caused him to shed weight again, confident the medicos can fix it

H did a bit of training  said he is back on track   no messing around with concussion these days

Asked Nev whether he was off to Freo

Thanks all those Demonlanders for coming down to training despite what was going to be a wet and blustery day. We made a nice amount of money which will go to the Demon Army to continue their great work - hopefully some more "heads". Great to see so many kids there.

Yes Nev was swamped but not the last to leave - H was still doing laps. Very funny listening to Watts and Dawes sledge Petracca. Fantastic camaraderie

What was said about Weed? He really intrigues me as a player.

McCartney made me laugh when he said the Weed was a bag of bones    but said when they have finished building him, he will be a gun    has all the attributes to be an elite player but don't want to throw him in before he is ready

A bit drizzly but training looked sharp. Dawes looks in good touch. Lots of yelps and yahooing during the runthroughs. Petracca having fun espcially with dawes and watts. 

I havent seen many session's before but this looked pretty brisk.

I now see the talk about Petracca's size. He is huge!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
