  • 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.

I don't expect Brisbane to be pillaged again. I think the last big raid of Yeo, Aish, and Polec (maybe one more?) hurt them significantly but they are recovering now. Their brand of footy is looking much better this year, even when schache's not on field. It seems they have talented key players building up together and I would suspect Schache would  want to be a part of it.

I think they have turned a corner and look forward to testing their talent out against ours, hopefully by means of a slaughter and demoralisation.

Ouch.

Every time I see it, just ouch.

Last night the 7 commentary was bullish on Sydney's Reid over Schache.

 

Last fortnight on radio....Garry Lyon rates Sam Reid as a $300,000 per year player.

Garry also rated Jack Gunston (in a star studded line up), as the player Watts should emulate 2 years ago.  Imagine Jack Gunston playing for the MFC in the Watts era?

Don't get me started on the Neeld appointment either.

 

 

 

 

I think Lou Richards circa 2016 has more common-sense more of the time.

There is no way Sam Reid is only worth 300 grand a year, that is a crazy thing to say

That's (one of the many) problems with SEN nowadays; it's become solely 'click-bait' journalism and reporting.  Everything they do and say is so sensationalised and seeking to get a reaction from the listeners and readers that they erode any credibility they once might have had.

I think it’s being suggested that we take two x first round picks from Fremantle for Hogan and use one of them for Schache..

Are you telling me that people still believe Hogan wants to go to play in WA?

Even after he met with the club and said he wants to stay at Melbourne?

When will it end.

Don’t need Schache.  Upset many here in Brisbane with his sometimes prima donna carry on.  Chose not to play with his mates in the NEAFL Grand Final.  After that selfishness, was never going to play for the Lions again.  My own view, a bit on the softish side too.

Two years in the system and you can only find TAC Cup Draft videos. Kids a dud.

What a dumb method of assessing a player's value. Even then, a scroll down reveals plenty of AFL videos. Do you think Goodwin uses this technique to grade potential recruits?

Schacke has done absolutely nothing and it’s no surprise Brisbane are happy to move him on.

We have Weideman and Hogan, where does Schache fit in?

That is the easiest question so far.

With Hogan the Weid is a Casey talent on his good days till at least 2019

    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.

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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
