    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.

You know the one, the one where kicks hit targets, I haven't done that before.

I cringed when I read that.  Have we not learnt our lesson from previous doses of the Messiah Syndrome?

Tyson is in the rehab group, Kent did some laps with Hulett and a bit of handball, didn't ask, get nothing anyway, club hasn't bothered

ANB and Hannan the only other two in rehab, but they may  as well be in main group  Crossy works them over, another two hours of 'rehab' covering everything

Frost  all defensive craft no surprise

Bugg  midfield craft no surprise

Highlight for me today Pedo testing his shoulder out late in the session with a bit of one on one with Crossy   he survived

Forwards heaps of goalkicking practice, including the worst ever effort I have seen from Watts, went sideways, to everybody's amusement, including his, of course he nailed every one after that

And on that JKH  again lined one up at about 45deg angle 55 out, through the middle, hit the netting behind the goal about half way up, Dion Johnstone then followed same result  competition is a wonderful thing   pics on Instagram next half hour

Is Tom Mac back in full training or still in rehab for his shoulder? 

 

Also I laughed at the poster who mentioned Lewis being the messiah. Hardly the messiah, just a damn good player who can hit a target! Glad our players are taking as much from him as they can.

Tommy Mc and Pedo do most things but they also do a bit extra obviously to test the shoulders out, both strapped up but that's normal for both

Lewis is above everything else a team man, has impressed all with his team first attitude, think Tommy is taking the [censored] as well with his kicking drill remark about Lewis

Liking hearing JKH has some tricks. To be honest I've never rated him, but getting keen to see him have a clear run at it this year.

We have just stopped burning players, similar to Nev Jetta and Jayden Hunt, both couldn't get a clear run, but showed glimpses, so club persevered, JKH will be given the same opportunity, fitness staff have worked wonders with this body, ball is now in his court (Aust Open ref), it was fun watching him go head to head with Dion Johnstone today on goalkicking

I am working on Friday and besides don't like to travel any further south than Caufield, looking forward to hearing maybe a different reporting voice

Of all the training days, think the Wednesday craft day is my favourite, some strange drills when you first look at them, but bit of thought and you see why they are doing them

Couple of favourites

Player has ball at feet facing away from player, whistle, bend down pick up ball turn left or right, depending on previous and kick immediately to player about 20 metres away

Player only holds ball in one hand, keeps other hand behind back, has to drop ball and kick to other player about 15 metres away

Seriously though, I don't the club sees it that way.  We're just lucky that a player of his talent and experience fell into our laps for virtually nothing.  That rarely happens in this day and age.

    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.

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.

    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
