  • 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.

BA   are you sitting down        NONE  although Hoges  did shape up at one point but changed his mind

How was Hoge's shaping up action Saty? Was his change of mind fluent or stuttered? Do we need Carey at the club perhaps to teach Hogan how to change his mind in a proper fashion?

A few comments on Hibberd looking sharp. Relatively nothing on Milkshake?

He seems a bit on the lean side from the photos in my opinion - not that it's worth anything because I wasn't at training.

All I took from the photos was that Hibberd and Bugg had been sharing styling tips in the off-season.

Thanks for the reports. I'm currently in Spain so good to get any news. I headed down to the local Plaza de Torro with my camera but there wasn't much action there. I'll be back home around the time the full group return so will head down to training then with my trusty lense.

More to the point was his run up fluent or stutttterred?

And we need Carey (or some other great kick) to help Jesse etc it right.

Coniglio in Barca according to afl.com. Time to get your inner-paparazzo on or at least a quiet recruitment word.

Melksham did what was required of him, he probably shares Buggs body type in my opinion, lean but defined, and not his style,  agree Hibberd does though

Thought my ageing Fitzroy Hipster look today left him for dead

Bugg is still the aerobic running monstet hardly raised a sweat yet was leading his group

As for Hoges, got as far as getting the ball in hand facing the goal about 30 out and 45 deg then changed his mind

There wasn't even any goalkicking at the end perhaps again they were instructed not to

Haha. Just woke up the fiancée laughing at that. Simple, but as usual, DA, well played.

Just an observation,

Saty has trimmed his beard.

Milkshake still looks daft even in red and blue.

I think they are under no instruction, but all are lazy and looking to start slow so that their running looks to significantly improve throughout the pre season. Especially Trac

I'd be really impressed if this were true. I don't traditionally think of footballers having the skills to think that far ahead.

Not a question to sound offensive, but have you ever played football? It is one of the most common tactics in local footy to look like you've improved significantly from day 1 of preseason to end of preseason

I'm not at all offended. I haven't played football since I was a schoolboy, which is now over 40 years ago. I take your point, but I would have thought all the technology available to the club would identify the malingerers from the dedicated.

Lols.

You don't really think players within the AFL would be able to 'trick' elite level performance gurus (who have spent years studying what the human body is capable of) into thinking that they've drastically improved their running capabilities by easing their way through earlier sessions, do you?

Like, I mean, You're making a funny joke yeh?

My initial comments were all tongue in cheek, as I carried on with it a bit further. But his response was to me being sarcastic in regards to players being given a program and it's got much more legs than necessary. 

 

I dont think our players would not be under instruction in regards to running at pre season. 

I don't think they could get away with being lazy in the early sessions to improve later in the pre season and look better. 

I didn't think I needed to explain that all those comments had my tongue planted firmly in my cheek

    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

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
