  • 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.

shattered to read about Gus. So disappointing for him and the club. Hit behind the play?? what kind of moron does that to someone with known concussion injuries. If its true take the year off. And think about retiring. 

Beat me to it....what kind of moron? A Ballarat one...plenty of em round here. Terrible act if true.

But if after 15 years Lewis is happy to play on I don't see why Angus would be overly concerned if the docs aren't. 

And Daniel Bell after 60 odd games had what appears to be permanent brain damage... don't put your desire to see him succeed as a player, ahead of Brayshaw's best interests. The doctors don't always get it right.

And/or have we made a terrible mistake? 

On the contrary, I would say we have done him (Bugg) a big favour. His dropping has obviously woken him up and he has responded in the best way possible.

Hmm, I hope you're right hardtack. 

But it's the great hypothetical conundrum- might he have played a similar out-of-his-skin type game on Monday night if he was given the chance?

Bugg just giving the middle finger to the match selectors.. and Jake Melksham

Get some therapy, DD36.  It ain't about Melksham.  It still isn't about Melksham, and it wont be the next 20 times you post about him being selected for Monday. 

Good on TB for answering the selectors in the most powerful way.  There are several others that should be doing the same - make yourself impossible to leave out.

On Melksham - Lets see some of the other young backs that play a comparable role play the house down and demand to be picked in his place.

Jesus.. it was tongue in cheek mate. If you took offence to that then maybe its you that needs therapy.

On Melksham he is very lucky this weekend. But il still back him in to hopefully play a role for us. With Hibberd in maybe Vince or Melksham pushes up to a wing.

Unless you intended to play bugg in the back half it's not a like for like swap.

I think kid we weren't playing tigers this week with their brigade of smalls he may have been dropped.

I would have kept Bugg in the side and given him a tagging role on Cotchin or Martin personally.

I'm not using the past as an example. I'm using Lewis as of right now. If there was cumulative effect or any worry re brain injury surely he would not play on. 

Too much hysteria re concussion imo. We've gone from not caring at all to way over the top

Sad for Gus. Great talent, courage but vulnerable.  Needs a very long time out if this latest concussion confirmed.

Sorry but I do not agree IMO you cannot be over the top with concussion injuries (no pun intended)

No worries OD. Happy to have a civilised disagreement

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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
