  • 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.

MELBOURNE
In: J.Spencer, J.Kennedy-Harris, C.Salem

Thought Spencil was not going to be in - and glad that JKH gets another run (hasn't shown anything at AFL level, but I seem to have a spot for him in the cockle of my heart)...

I choose to believe Spencer is still a chance. I was so sure. Delusion got me through 2008-2013, so why stop now?

Incredible as it might seem, I have just calculated that if we win by 186 points we will be 5th.

I feel more confident now that Vince has confirmed that "we're expecting their best".

I don't get it.

Goody said Spencer wont play, so why is he named?

JKH is not up to it ..... so why is he named?

Salem in for ...... ??

Have a feeling Salem for Wagner, JKH got 47 possesions in the VFL, hard to ignore that.

Stretch can't get a look in. Not worthy of at least a spot on the extended bench?

Salem: clearly best 22 returns from suspension 

Spencer: only ruckman, not competing with smalls for selection

JKH: rewarded for 47 touch VFL game

Stretch will be fine, and will get his chance again. Patience.

Spencer... we'll know at 2pm Saturday if he runs out for Casey ....... unless of course there is something more about Jack W's ankle ??

I'm guessing it all depends on the Saturday morning session with Watts.

Obviously it can't be ignored, but I would much prefer to see him do it on a more regular basis before coming back in. He always seems to come back into the team off the back of only 1 good performance

Wagner looks visibly dejected at training. I'd say its him.  To bitter and optimistic, ill take a 47 disposal in the VFL JKH over Bugg no question.

47 touches against Coburg. Bugg offers more at AFL level than JKH.

Like what? Being a pest and missing easy shots at goal. At least give a guy who's had a brilliant VFL game another shot.

Coburg are horrible. Let JKH show consistent form in the VFL against decent to good teams first before rewarding him after one good game against the cellar dwellers. 

Buggs stats at AFL level are much better than JKH's. Plus JKH has twice the amount of clangers.

    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

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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
