  • 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.

Apparently suffered another concussion on Sunday after a head knock. Serious concerns being raised, albeit not by anyone inside the club as yet.

That's a blow for H and the club. 

Hopefully he can regain full health, and when he does that, needs to learn to not run around like a headless chook when he gets the ball. Watching Casey on Sunday, the amount of times he got the ball and ran straight into a couple of Richmond players was ridiculous. He has regressed, and I'm sure the concussion has not helped at all.

ABC 2 TV had the same story in their 7 p.m. News tonight, Lumumba has concussion again after head knock in VFL. What is it with so many head hits this year? Brayshaw, Lumumba, have hardly played, I suppose all we can assume is the AFL and the clubs are more attuned to the issue and its repercussions so we now take it more seriously.

Shame we don't play Collingwood late in the year. Would be nice to farewell Dawes and Lumumba in front of someone who would cheer for them.

Geez that's a fl0g of a post.

It's not personal, just the truth. Both premiership heroes and will be remember as such. Both seemingly don't have much more to offer us.

Poor form to suggest no Dees supporters would cheer for two blokes who both have tried their guts out and had their bodies let them down and end their careers.

Fairly sure the Pies supporters were still booing Dawes on QBD.

I'm not ashamed to say that I'd cheer them. Their careers may not have worked out how we hoped, but they still gave their all for the jumper, and I'll cheer that regardless. 

Its a shame you couldn't do the same.

Agree and with Heritier I think the club and him should seriously look at his long term health.

Player welfare is of primary concern and He needs to probably retire to ensure no lasting effects!

Pity!!

What if the club and Heritier know he is finished... and this so called 'concussion' is merely an perception management type play... in order for it to appear he finished his career due to injuries rather than poor form.

The answer lies somewhere in more free kicks paid for head high tackles and less free kicks somewhere else but not slowing the game down. Debate away!

Pretty much answers the "How low can you go?" question.

This thread so far deserves an early lock.

Jeez, you lot. What a pathetic effort at discussing a possibly serious issue with one of OUR players. Nothing like a bit of support eh?

Let's try again when more facts come to light.

    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.

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
