  • 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.

It's called an interview. Which all players from all clubs do. It's called promotion. If it bothers you, don't read it.

No shlt Watson. Thanks, now i feel far better. 

Im fully aware of what all that nonsense is about and why. 

I still suggest they say less. Do more.

If you continually draw attention to what you're not doing you run the risk of looking a tad silly.

I just hope the players don think they'll get an easier ride because Ablett is out.

This. When we don't turn up to play, it takes us an entire quarter to switch on, by which time we find ourselves down by 4 goals with too much work to do over the final 3 quarters.

After last weeks insipid 1st and 3rd quarters, Goody should've been breathing fire and brimstone for the entire week.

I'd be both shocked and dismayed if we didn't come out all guns blazing this week.

Agree, whilst it shouldn't matter, we have played nearly every team at full-strength this year - Brad Scott said that it was the first time they'd been able to put their full team on the park and it was against us!  Hawthorn was the same when they got Rioli back.  Must take full advantage, although I would prefer Lynch out ahead of Gaz!

It doesn't matter who plays against us if the boys don't go in with the right mindset we r screwed which has already happened this season a few times.

I like it. Weids had to go...no where near ready. Kent seems to have lost his appetite for the contest ( almost threw something at the television in the last quarter last week) and Salem well, he is a loss. Three strong competitors back in.

Looks good. Though slightly surprised to not see Stretch's name. Had a pretty good rap from Plapp, and he's a better disposer of the ball than any of those included.

Kent and Weideman are the right choices as outs.  Kent hasn't been good and while we could do with the height, Weideman wasn't giving us much in that department anyway.  He rarely takes a mark and wasn't impacting the contest.

We are going in small up forward but that's not a bad thing with the conditions.  Harmes, ANB and Melksham all give us the extra run which will be handy in the heat.

Stretch, Kent and Weideman are emergencies.

I like the changes as it will help keep the midfield fresh as we can rotate them more with the 'ins'.  Important in the heat.  Stretch could have fitted that just as easily.

The downside is we will have a shorter fwd line.  Petracca and Watts will have to work hard against May.

But on balance it will suit us and the conditions.

What's happened to Billy Stretch? Dropped out of favour? Has he been caught sleeping with Goodwin's missus?

Good call. Wish he would get a game. Pick him over many others. Glad to see Weid out....kid seems a fair way away at this stage.

Hope we can win but can anyone really know what side will turn up and for how long?

That's true LH, although one look at their backline suggests that they aren't that tall down there either.  North had some quality in that area last week, where as this week we just need to make sure we don't bomb it on May's head.  Hopefully this leads to more of the ball hitting the deck, better pressure from our forwards and more opportunities to score.

I know it may change at game time but just seeing Oscar lined up on Lynch made my bowel loosen a tad.

    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
