    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 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.

Is that Pedersen I spy in the circle in the photo on the MFC facebook page?

 

If that's the ocean in the background then that photo wasn't from today. 

If Pedo played today that is beyond [censored] stupid.

I went yesterday and here is a quick summary of the MFC players.  Just a quick observation on the game.  The conditions were perfect but the game was just a scrap.  There were very few good passages o

Jesus.  Why would they do that?  Social media 101 surely.

I thought it odd that not one of the reports thus far mentioned that he played - I'd have thought that to be a pretty key piece of information.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's from Williamstown. No way he played today. 

Personally I hope they roll with it now and post that photo every week until someone notices.

That photo is from the Round 1 game v Williamstown at Burbank Oval, they've used it a couple of times for different games just because it's a nice picture

I hope the selectors aren't considering JKH for QB. Although he played a very good game what what I can see he needs to put it together in consistent performances with high tackle and work rate being the highlight. Both were completely absent during his games with the seniors this year. 

He also tends to go to water with high pressure. Well done to him for this game though, keep it going and who knows....

They were wearing the white clash top this round which is even worse that the MFC white top. 

Maybe that's why they resisted using a photo from this game!

Thanks.  It's probably obvious to the locals, but I'm from Tassie and wouldn't know Burbank Oval from the Gabba.  Unless it's the MCG or Etihad, good chance I've never been near it...

A bit higher resolution and we'd be able to see your smoke signals in that photo, Nash.

they were wearing white today and that looks suspiciously like the ocean in the background.

Could this be alternative/false news

Yes - confirmed as just being a stock photo from earlier in the year.

We cant afford for that to happen, especially when another high pick, Brayshaw, has huge question marks over his health.

Interesting point, but can't go with you on that one. Darcy's kicked a lot of goals. He's the full 200cm beanpole. Has been under pressure this year a lot, with no help, and is still looking good the last few weeks. Did enough last year to warrant them getting rid of Cloke. Weed's a ways off Darcy at the moment. That kid will be a star.

47 touches in any way shape or form is ridiculous. 8 tackles too. Seems like we had some sort of heavy handball game going maybe?

Incredible though. I do really like JKH. And I think Goody does too. I hope he comes good. There's others on the list I'd see delisted before him (though not many).

Theres definitely something to work with JKH, can see him being rookie listed if they want to delist him and make a spot on the main list.

Could be Jetta 2.0

No stats on the game ?

Without passing judgment on Kennedy-Harris either way, I take zero notice of a 47 disposal game in the VFL.

Why ask for stats on a game, then say you take 'zero notice' of a 47 stat disposal game?

Because there are stats and there are stats.  I'm interested in how many marks a young key forward is taking, who is kicking the goals, and how a player like Trengove is going.

That said, I'll fess up a little.

I'd be far more impressed if Trengove got 47, because I know how he uses it.  So to contradict myself I am probably making a veiled criticism of JKH even if I was at pains to suggest I wasn't.

Especially as it was against the bottom side who has yet to win a game.

28 hand balls! Were more than 10 to advantage?

    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

    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,
