  • 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.

And if we lose?

 

I don't dare to think what the outcome on here will be mate.

If we lose tomorrow I will be so depressed.
I have been away from home with the Navy for 3 months and get home on Thursday just in time for the potential finals making showdown against the Cats.

The sheer thought of our season being over tomorrow really scares me...And I just can't shake the nerves about tomorrow.

Haven't been this nervous about a game in God knows how long.

Well as an omen, my CAT caught a MAGPIE this afternoon.

Just an unnecessary comment Saty. And I'm sure TSD can have whatever perspective he wants.

I honestly just don't think you have a grip on how much footy means to us who have grown up with it.

A bizzare and disrespectful comment.

Keep staying  classy Saty..

Boys boys!

No disrespect or offence taken.

I have done my Middle East time and it's all good.

Ive been in for over 8 years now so seen and done it all, not much makes me nervous these days.

I do appreciate the defence of me and the care from you boys though. does mean a lot as a serviceman.

I get more worked up over Demons games than anything I have ever done in the Navy haha...My girlfriend has asked me the same questions too as to why I get nervous etc. but I am in control of my own fate here at sea but the Demons is completley out of my hands which is why I get edgy.

I am actually on my way back from the worlds biggest military exercise up in Hawaii so I am so far from stress when it comes to work right now it's not funny.

Just keen to come back home in 5 days, see the girlfriend, have a beer, watch footy with my dog (The missus doesn't like being around when I watch the footy)

That means you don't understand.

 

Gee chap, I would love us to make finals this year, but if we don't I won't be slashing my wrists any time soon.

I think the team we have picked tomorrow should give a good showing, hope that we play with enough intent to win and win well, I will go along and watch, remembering to note every single mistake an MFC player makes, giving me some ammunition for the Changes against Geelong thread next week

If we don't play with intent or treat Carlton lightly we may get beaten and deservedly so

FWIW I agree that it seems stupid to bring in players at this stage unless it is to rest others (Cats seem to have done this). I rate Viv but am clearly in the very small minority on this site. He will not be at MFC next season and I think that tomorrow may be an audition for another club. His form in the VFL is outstanding and his selection is reward for that effort. Even Roos rated his form as fantastic. 

Agreed he has been in excellent form at Casey Samael. No argument from me there

If we win by ten plus goals tomorrow, the bringing in the Weed, ANB and Mitchie will seem inspired!

The range should be 8 to 10 plus regardless more than likely CBD. Aside from Harmes and Hulk's recent form, my main concern was Mr Vince who I really think was in much need of a week off to re-charge the batteries for the Cats game and a potential finals campaign afterwards. Has been serviceable but nowhere near the form he was in during the most part of the season. Was really hoping the FD would manage him this week. Ideal opportunity missed.

Bernie Vince's gameagainst Port Adelaide was just about the best he has played in months.

Agree with you Chook.

But also the suggestion to rest Vince for potential finals would mean he would play one game in three weeks given the bye after rd 23. Or if we don't make the finals, he'd be rested one week before the end of the season. 

In any case, Vince himself apologised to Roos after the GC game for his very poor performance and turned it right around. He doesn't want or need a rest.

    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.

    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
