  • 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 even if Watts was in trouble, would the coaching staff necessarily tell any player other than Watts. 

1) probably, they'd be wanting to set an example of the required standard and bs isn't tolerated

2) even if they didn't you think you could keep something like that under wraps amongst a footy team?

Maxy didn't talk enough about Jack Viney being promoted to the role of co-captain during this interview, and I read between the lines that Nathan Jones isn't happy and it's causing lots of friction off the field to the point where they won't even go into the showers at the same time.

Just my take.

Just my take.

I wouldn't get into a shower with either of them at the same time and why should they? There is no water shortage. Also, I believe that this kind of all-in-shower camaraderie can lead to bad outcomes. I know of an ex AFL legend who went to a club in SA and got the sack because he believed there was a water shortage, shall we say. As though any self respecting Victorian would consider even showering with SA water, if you get my drift.

Anyway, that's my take on the shower camaraderie scenario. In my time it was a case of blokes pointing the finger at those of us who had maintained their foreskins.

I showered at home from then on. Still do. Lucky my parent's house was opposite Selwyn park.

That's a big statement.

Yep, and Jetta refused to play in a show of solidarity with his one true captain.

Massive if true.

And another reason why so many of us dont like the idea of chunk sharing the captaincy. 

Viney could have waited another year or two.

You should've just said you were in on the joke.  My ability to judge these things in text is poor enough that I wouldn't know any better :D

nope.

 

Was simply bored out of my brain, and thought, oh boy, there's something I can post about!

I read it again and thought to myself, you stupid [censored], how did you miss that.

Fake News!  

Jack Watts is Donald Trump, that's why he didn't play against the dogs. 

Proof - look at the hair.

The H-S have a sophisticated computer system to generate the next day's back page, called "coin toss".

"Heads" = scandal* at Collingwood

"Tails" = those brave Essendon boys

i was told today that goody wants jack to know that one good year isn't enough, it's not enough to have a good year and get his contract renewed and then go onto autopilot, we need jack to be a match winner and this is a rocket up his bum from goody

from all reports as well his training standards and attitudes have lifted quite a lot in the past month but it seems like a really clever preemptive move by the coaches to make sure jack is breathing fire for round 1

I don't know about coins, I know there is a lot of tossing and a lot of tossers at Planet Murdoch. Onanism reigns.

Is Jack even capable of breathing fire? (Please read  partially as tounge in cheek).

If Jack Watts breaths fire, then watch out opposition - that would be some weapon.

 

... Seriously though what did Max say though? (asides from the Watts thing), I want to be amused by the master's musings.

    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

    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
