  • 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.

Agree with this post in its entirety. 

It's almost like they've never heard of Hodge and Mitchell. 

Or more likely have an idea and can see that he lacks the other attributes that these players have which makes up for their lack of speed.

What is Jack Trengove elite at?

Bit like Mr 2 goal 'didn't look like missing' Spencer

Attacking a posters view without offering your own again beyond " FD might see it differently" 

how do you see that issue being improved?

if it's easy to improve why has he not to this point been able to do it?

Trenners will always be painfully slow, it cant be improved and he wont help us at AFL level unless we lost a bunch of inside mids to injury.

Saty just blindly defending every player as usual while telling the other person they cant have an opinion.

I'd suggest the FD see it exactly as I do, because he hasn't played in the 1's all year.

I get it guys - I WANT Trekkers to be a star. He deserves it. I'm just judging it purely on the evidence I see. I hope he proves me wrong :)

Rose coloured glasses I'd say saty, pretty hard to miss the lack of speed. 

I have also seen him 6 times love this year but have this wonderful ability to have a balanced view on players without letting emotion dictate that opinion.

Resounding reply. 

Maybe contextualise all of what I've posted.

On that quarter, Pederson looks to be in some form and is almost inrecognisable with his streamlined physique.  

Hibberd very rusty, Brayshaw and Trengove good, but not great.

What position does he play? His inside game is average, he can't break the lines, his possessions don't hurt. 

I don't understand why you mention him in the same sentence as Lewis and Hodge.

Lewis is probably almost as slow as Trengove, but he can make decisions a lot faster, dispose of the ball quickly and is a much smarter player so can get away with it.

Pedersen is a VFL player.  Can't believe people get excited by someone who is OK at this level.  He's not a key position AFL forward.

Hibberd looking like he's close to being ready.

Trengove makes good decisions.

Brayshaw better than VFL footy, but happy for him to stay there as long as required.

So what?  You still didn't answer his question about how he can improve it.

He has been doing one on one training, and he was doing a couple of interesting drills, so I asked him what they were for and they are for burst speed, he is never going to be Jayden Hunt but a full pre season and the one on one training and who knows

We always want to write off players on here, true he hasn't been getting a game at AFL level at the moment and has obviously been told to work on things, if he gets a game it means he has improved those things

Is Trengove at the huddle yet?

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
