    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.

It was a joke precious, you need to stop being the arbiter of what people can post, the poster doesn't seem to have an issue, so I respectfully request you pull your head in  and go back to topic 

Hopefully we have a red hot go Hawthorn are only another 22 blokes, with Trac Brayshaw and Oliver cracking in for the first time together should be fun to watch

it's NEVER fun watching hawthorn play

I don't agree dc.

I have enjoyed watching them for most of the last decade.

A great side that just keeps on winning.

I know most of us will be going along on Saturday hoping it is not a bloodbath, with a little bit of a hope for a miracle win, I actually enjoy watching Hawthorn play myself, they play on the edge and never give up, something we all want MFC to be.

And hopefully the guys will have a real crack and get an idea how far they have to lift to get even close to Hawthorn

Bits and pieces

JKH thinks they have finally solved his hamstring issues

Terlich has shaved his head, it looks shocking but has grown beard, Garlett persisted in calling him Chunk during the drills

Hogan barely got out of a trot at training, but was walking freely, didn't seem too down when I spoke to him

Salem is back at his playing weight after losing 5kg

Lots of work on the field kicking at training

Any other questions will try and answer

They're like a big turd that won't flush.

The only solution is poking it with a wire coat hanger that's been slightly warped. Perhaps the players should arm themselves with coat hangers.

That troublesome turd can be flushed with a big bucket of boiling water too. A method I've found  successful on more than one occasion. Would work well with the Essendon football club.

Who knows, he didn't seem restricted kicking, he only jogged though, walking without any limp or discomfort,  we may put him through a more severe session tomorrow away from prying eyes

I have noticed that they seem a pretty happy bunch. I reckon it has a lot to do with Plapp who seems a quality coach and individual.  In the rooms after the Coburg game they even seem to have learned the club song, but they still hold up the words. I was just wondering if Viv was getting disillusioned. Has been in the best for 9 out of his 10 games but getting no love from the FD. Guess he will be looking elsewhere at the EOS. Pity because I think he is as good as any in his group but seem that because he is not a Roos draftee he does not get a look in despite the stated policy of selecting those whose performance warrants it will get a game.

Viv has to be one of the quietest blokes in the group, you never notice him at training, just goes about doing the drills in a professional way, he never looks down, think he just enjoys, and feels privileged at, being on an AFL list and gives it everything he's got at whatever level he is playing

Can't wait to see Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca and Weideman playing in the one team, hopefully with Hogan. Not to mention Watts, Stretch, Hunt, etc. it may even be an exciting game watching the 2017 team debut.

I'm not sure that's correct. I thought Michie was one of Roos' recruits in his first year. Can anyone confirm?

In: Bugg, Weideman, Oliver

Out: Chris Dawes, Josh Wagner, Matt Jones

Emg: Colin Garland, Cameron Pedersen, Matt Jones. 

So Pedo would come in if Hogan doesn't get up.

All looks pretty good to me!

Pedo, M. Jones and Garland named as emergencies. If Hogan does not get up it looks as if Pedo will be there to babysit weed.

    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

    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
