  • 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.

Good hit out and solid contribution from all. However, the McDonald brothers really need to work on their disposal and decision making. CP was epic today and if he can consistently play to that level then he could be anything. 

T-Mac needs to look for best option rather than O-Mac for only option.

Petracca could be scarily good this year.

 

His set shot ball drop is a bit high for mine. 

Can't complain about the accuracy though.

Carlton has Cripps as their only best 22 not playing. We didn't have Tyson, Kent, Jetta, Frost and Watts. Il also add Pedersen Garland and Trengove who are all going to be important depth for us.

They were terrible today although I don't think it's an Indication of how poor they might be this season. 

I'm definitely hoping it is.

Pedo is handy. Not sure about the other two. Hoping Trenners has finally found some pace/agility after getting a full pre season in.

No way Melksham displaces Jetta. Jetta is a better defender by far, and better/smarter ball user. And harder at it. Hibberd I like  

Loved that Lewis just played a cameo role. 

Liking Omac's development, played a very good game. Much prefer the ball in his hands than his brothers. 

We missed some class at ground level in the forward line. Need Garlett/Kent fit and firing. 

Oliver, Salem, Hogan and Petracca all outstanding and look in ripping nick. 

 

 

lol what is Marc Murphy doing fighting Viney? Brock Lesnar v Ronda Rousey.

That was some of the best football I've seen Melbourne play in a very long time.

Practice match or not that was four quarters of sublime football.

Jetta is behind the 8 ball.

I don't need to be sold on his attributes, but my gut feel is that he's going to be in and out in 2017 due to his interrupted preseason. 

I think Goody likes Melksham and with Joel Smith able to take the likes of Stringer, Membrey, etc. I have a sense that Jetta is no lock.  Others will naturally be horified.

wtf are these 8 metre Carlton kicks that are being paid. 

Not an issue with VicKick standard umpires and VicKick standard players in the whites (thought they used to be called the good old navy blues).

PS CP5 looking friggin awesome.

That was the worst margin we should have won by.  It felt like a 100 point dominance.

Okay but only second practice match. Hopefully a taster for the season ahead.

Let's maintain and improve our intensity and dominance in second half of season. No mid to late season burnt out please.

It's as though you're excited that you found something half-worthy of responding to.

As meaningless as it is, well done you. Keep following.

Petracca has been threatening to have a game like that for a long time, could be a Top 5 player in the competition if he fulfils his potential. Not many are capable of 25/5 type games but I can see him getting to that level.

I have better things to do than whinge about umpiring in February but did that female umpire pay us a free kick all game?

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    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.
