  • 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.

Seriously Ablett out is a nice change of luck for us. 

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.

    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

    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.
