  • 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.

While it's frustrating that Bugg misses shots at goal, it's good he is getting so many shots. Shows he gets to the right places and beats his opponent, unlike some of his teammates such as Kent or JKH

Good to see Gus out there also.

It's good to see Jack Watts moving freely and seemingly unencumbered by the rolled ankle he experienced earlier in the week.

Max Gawn looks good to go ... the snags are of the usual high quality and Jayden Hunt's sporting a blue headband.

 

Confucius say when Hunt wear blue headband at training, Demons win.

Is Bugg working on his set shots for goal?

We may need him to slot one at some stage this season.

I watched him miss three in a row from 30 out straight in front, then averted my gaze as to preserve my sanity.

Yes, forwards are meant to kick goals, not behinds..

Anyone need a behind kicked today? See Thomas Bugg Esquire. Kicking Behinds a specialty.

Watts moving well. Very slippery early on in the session with some of the boys losing their footing.

That is music to my ears.  I was desperately hoping Watts would get up.   

You are doing a great job of reporting back.  Keep up the good work (if your phone holds up).

Thanks for the efforts.

Bloody brilliant.  Should be able to force his way into the senior team in a month or so, likely replacing O Mac.  Does everything better and has some elite traits, none more so than his leap, marking ability and reading of the play.

If he cant finish it means nothing. Remember Cloke a few years ago at the pies. He was handy back then too but really bad for their morale when he kept  kicking points. He's got to work though it quickly  or be dropped imo,

Finally home, the most impressive part of the session was definitely Maxy. As mentioned by previous posters the man is a powerful beast, looked free in his movement and doesn't appear to be restricted at all. He completed the session with the main group in drills and at one stage won his own ball and sprinted clear from a couple of more nimble teammates with ease. Also stayed back to continue training with Gus and J.Smith.  From what I witnessed he could easily have played on Monday. 

The main group participated in the usual  short drills of quick ball movement for about 90 minutes with not an excessive amount of intensity. Everything seems like going to plan, they were clean and precise most times.

Great crowd, I got my fix after a couple of weeks without seeing them, bring on Monday. 

Feel free to ask any questions  and I'll try and answer.

Great to see these longer-term injured returning. That's the 2 Smiths back on deck (more or less), plus Gus, Spencer, Gawn - and hopefully Hogan. Injury/out list starting to look a lot less consequential.

How did Christian Petracca train.  Looking for a big game from him, his knee looked to have been giving him some trouble.  Hopefully the week off has given him a chance to recuperate ready to hit the rest of the season hard.

Petracca talks like he likes a big stage.  He's had a week off to freshen up the bone bruising to his knee from a few weeks back and hopefully he steps things up on Monday.

He's the type of player that can make a huge difference if he plays 4 quarters, which I'm yet to see.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    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
