  • 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.

If either had an issue they wouldn't be allowed to take part in both tackling and wrestling drills which they did today

Both also did every drill and the whole session

Yes they would. The FD obviously thinks Viney can play with his injury, so he can certainly train with it.

You mean like when Jones sat out the 2015 season with a neck issue?

That's just bizarre   so Viney couldn't be playing a different role, he is carrying an injury that restricts him   tell you what I'll ask him next week   I have a 50/50 chance of getting the truth

Any chance, if you get that truth, you won't broadcast it all over the internet for opposition teams to discover and take advantage of?

You do realise players and clubs keep the specifics of injuries secret for good reason, right?

Jack is perfect and above criticism, we get it. 

I am desperately hoping it's an injury and not a combination of that and extra pressure from being captain.

The strong push for JKH is because he was tearing it up in the preseason and did very well last week . Quick and skilled.

As for Kent it wouldn't be disciplinary if he didn't train,so must have a niggle.

I do realise that precious hence why there is very little I am told put on here

The opposition know anyway due to the spies they all have at the scan place at AAMI including the one that used o post in here, can't remember his user

And Channel 7 have a reporter camped at Edwins the Monday after games

If any posters think the burden of captaincy is getting to Jack, to quote the mighty DD, delusional

He himself said the other day his form is just solid at the moment and he needs to lift

Well if he thinks his form is solid I would hate to see his version of Shizenhuisen! 

And on Bernie .... What a tough player. Well done Bernie PF Loves wounded warriors!

Well 26 possies with 13 contested and about 8 tackles, plus a pressure mark and goal to put the team in front is a reasonable afternoons work.

Some (minor?) speculation in today's HUN that Hibberd may not play:

"will make his debut for the Demons if he can overcome a stiff back, which troubled him yesterday at training ........"  and

"The former Essendon defender, .................... completed the slippery session despite obvious discomfort."

I expect someone saw him having a back massage, and invented the rest.  Any sign of "obvious discomfort" , Saty?

I'm certain you are told nothing significant by the club.

You're no doubt treated with respect by the club, as they appreciate the efforts you make to attend training, but an insider you aint.

evidentley he was nailed with an opponents stud through his boot in the 1st quarter of the geelong game. so he's toughed it out for pretty much two games.

I now forgive Mr Vince for not looking to STAB pass the ball inside 50 in the last few seconds of the dockers match. The only option was the torp! All makes sense now ?

Well I am surprised that I still get surprised. Why are people still having a go at Saty?

I quite enjoy his comments but if you dont like them don't read them the constant attacks on give me the Tom [censored].

Get over it people.

So if I were to mention my residual dissapointment in Saty losing his grand daddy beard....would that count OD? ?

VERY VERY Happy with the rest of his work!!!

    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

    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

    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
