  • 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.

Pity about the rain.

Despite the rain at the end I put it down as a success. Lots of people buying memberships, club apparel etc and the players (men and women) were there for photo opps, autographs. The kids were enjoying themselves. 

Briefly spoke with Michael Hibberd - he's hopeful of playing in next week's JLT game.

Always enjoy attending this day, a great chance to rub shoulders with all the players who are very approachable and appear to enjoy themselves (Tommy Mac look bored out of his brain but I got a smile out of him). Congratulated JKH on a solid game and discussed his hopes of not just competing for the small forward position but hopes to play up off the wing too.

Had some banter with J Lewis asking when he is going to update his Twitter photo of him accepting a medal for the Hawks, to which Jonesey got a laugh out of. Lewy said he doesn't use it and can't even remember what pic he has on it.

Great to chat to some of the girls too, Daisy Pearce is every bit as popular with the kids as a lot of the senior blokes.

Got some great pics with our kids with many of the players, thanks to the MFC for the opportunity for our kids to meet their heroes.

Really well run by the club -  and the players are great with the kids.  Got to say Jack Watts was a stand out as usual -  a real natural with kids and goes above and beyond with supporters.

Did anyone see Hoges?  I didn't and was concerned as he seemed to have a leg injury late in the game against Dogs.

A great day for the kids as always. I thought it was easier to navigate than usual - perhaps having the women there as well helped to lessen the crowds around the men.

The only missing player (men) was Wagner - everyone else was there, although some were definitely playing hard to get. We were on the dodgem cars at the same time as Frost and Salem.

Tyson and Neal-Bullen were two players who were really good with my six year old, who I perhaps hadn't seen as being so confident in the past. Watts and Trengove are always friendly and we didn't make it upstairs for the main stars.

I'll be honest, I think Luna Park has done its dash. Time for a new site for the family day. the 9.00am start is too early on a sunday and the fact is all the rides are jammed with lines and you've got two hours to enjoy. I think we get a good turnout, but I reckon a 1pm -4pm scenario on a sunday would yield greater numbers.

 

As posted on another thread, I don't know why it isn't just held in Yarra Park car park outside the MCG. This seems the most logical idea. We need to push this with the MCG. Just like the AFL uses the area on Grand Final day. You can set up activities for kids, rides etc. Plus, the Demon Shop is adjacent and it would be a great opportunity to sell a range of merchandise. I would actually love to see family day held out in the park and along the concourse at the MCG. I know the club likes Luna Park for the rides. Let's be honest though, I reckon most parents gave up on the rides due to the massive lines.

    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.

    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
