  • 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.

Yep, got it wrong during GC game. I suppose thats what 52 years supporting this club does to you. Yeah i could be positive and say we will win next weekend, but the realist in me says otherwise. And i think if you polled all of the posters on this site most would agree. A "horrible supporter", Wiseblood? No, one thats just seen it all way too many times before

Everyone is making a contribution for the never ending reason.

J. Ralph (Fox) saying Viney out until R19.  Didn't indicate that this was a 'post scan' prognosis, so maybe just guessing.

We just have to find a way to scrap it out and get over Carlton, I'm sure the team will steel themselves and Goody will have some specific tactics. Let's not write the year off yet!!

Yup, any win over Carlton will do.

A 1 ;point win with a 40-39 scoreline would be nothing to complain about. Just get the 4 points. If anyone whines cos we struggled to beat them in a scrappy game I will lose my [censored].

Just get the 4 points,  another step to finals.

Carlton were solid against adeliade. Unless we have atleast 2 of our players back I fear the worst.

 

is there a timeframe for Viney?

The 4 to 6 that MFC is so used to.

Goodwin said Garlett, Hogan and Watts all a chance on Friday night. Watts seemed to counter that, but that still leaves the other 2 as a big chance.

Any articles pop up over the weekend about Tysons injury? I can't find anything.

Thnaks for any help in advance.

Someone posted earlier Tyson 1-2 weeks with knee bruising only. That Larkins doctor was on  3aw earlier today with the news.

Injuries have ruined our season.

I reckon we'd be on 2 losses max, had we not lost Gawn and Hogan for most of the season, and now Jones, Viney, Salem, Tyson, Jeffy and Watts. That is a disastrous injury list, and one no club would recover from.

We'd be lucky to win 1 out of the next 4 matches without basically our entire midfield. Oliver and Trac look exhausted, and Gawn will take a while to get back to full flight. It might be time for Lewis and Vince to step up in the middle.  

Time for them to step up, full stop.  

Leadership void after young Viney left the field.

When is Missons injury update?  All eyes on Garlett and Hogan who seem the only guns with a realistic shot to return this week.

 

I have been checking all day, for the same information; it's going to be a long week for us.:unsure:

Quote from the MFC website:

“Dom had an incident with his knee on the weekend,” Mahoney said. “He’ll be assessed early in the week, and his availability for this round will be known later in the week.”

MFC had an unbelievably injury free 2016 season. I knew it would come back to bite us.

 

Yep, if we had the same injury as last year I would almost have us as a premiership favourite.

We'd be undefeated. That said this raises questions about depth. Kent, Kennedy, Trengove, all fighting for their careers and need to step up. End of story.

    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

    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.
