  • 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.

Haha.

I always say it all along, players are taught to play a straight bat with supporters and the media. Doesn't matter if your Mark Stevens or Saty. Your not worth spilling out valid information that will be leaked into the public.

Best case scenario:

Returns to Casey on March 18/19 and ready to go for round 1.

Worse case scenario - runs out of time and is forced to play for Casey during the opening round weekend due to lack of preparation.

Our small forward department is becoming a concern for the early rounds.

Did you just say that or do I need to check my eyes?

 

You never believe them? 

 

Hang on.

 

Wait on now.

 

What?

From what I saw at training this morning he was in rehab group and really only boxing but I did miss first half hour so maybe he was more active then?

Listen Scoop, if you didn't believe him you wouldn't have shared your conversation and used the words "he's fine".

I personaly don't believe what a player tells me in regard to an injury, I ask and report/quote the answer, up to readers to decide, Jeff said "I'm fine", not me

He ran a couple of 3/4 pace laps with Crossy, then a couple of jogging laps, did a bit of lateral movement exercises as well

As you are privy to information as I am, I decide what to put on here, so only a small amount of the information I have appears

In Jeff Garlett's case, you get a straight bat to every question,  same with Dean Kent and a couple of others, other players are more forthcoming but they trust me not to put on here

So let me get this straight. You don't believe anything a players says about their injury. Why do you ask then? And why, prey tell do you post their answers on DL? My head hurts.

Correct, the reason, there are some posters and readers on here who read what I post, albeit in a non judgemental way, who can happily make their own judgement on the veracity of a reply from a player

Jeff Garlett, Dean Kent, Nathan Jones and a couple of others would tell you/me they were fine if they were carrying a broken leg, others will tell me exactly what the issue is but not to advertise, even then I wonder whether I am getting the truth

Jeff Garlett, in this case, probably has a slighty different opinion on the lenght of time he will be out, hence his reply to me, he looked to have no obvious discomfort today when 3/4 pace running

Today in no particular order I spoke/talked to Goody, Sam Frost, Josh Wagner, Dean Kent, Jack Trengove, Jeff Garlett, Nev Jetta, Dion Johnston, Jack Watts and JKH (only because he was making off with my scooter)

What? What does being non judgmental or non judgmental have to do with anything? You - not someone else - said you never believe a player's answer about an injury.

If you never believe a player on what basis can someone receiving that information second hand 'happily make their own judgement on the veracity of a reply from a player'.

I post the reply from the player, not my interpretation of what the player said, therefore readers can make there own judgement

    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.

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
