  • 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.

Cometh the time, cometh the Spencil. Bring Big Jake in to help out Max as he's still getting back into it, have him take it up to Kreuzer while Max can cause havoc in the forward line. And he's not injured, which makes him stand out at the moment.

Spoke to Jesse after training today. Said he was happy with what he did with the main group, it went well, but will see how he goes at training on Friday. JKH was training with the forwards, Trengove

We are a win over Carlton away from being 9 and 6. Forgive me if I am not depressed about some [censored] injuries. Get a grip people.

Totally unnecessary. We are all covered with Tom and Pedo in the ruck.

The last thing we need is to be even less mobile, given how depleted our midfield is.

I rather plonk Gawn at FF and let Tom ruck for most of the game if Gawn is struggling for fitness.

confucious say, team who makes 5 or more changes rarely wins

unless absolutely required I would not make any more than needed through injury. Certainly Wagner would stay in if I was picking the team. not many had a good game on the weekend

I notice That a debutant Ruckman for Port Melbourne won the BOG medal against Jake Spencer.  And some fools on this site believe he is AFL standard. FCS Melbourne get rid of him. 

If this post is correct I doubt Spencer will be getting a call up.

...and nor would he add any value.

I know injuries are a part of football, but thanks to the AFL with giving us a 6 day break we have lost a lot of our players, this makes me so p$*$^% off.

Not happy!

4 games in 18 Days 4 ÷18=4.5 days recovery on average between games how can this be agreed to by the club are we still getting handouts from the AFL?

as they say ... don't mention the war .... but week after this we have our famous Darwin expedition.

Great time to totally stuff up our players for a few dollars. Better clubs would not expose themselves to the risk.

The only good thing is that the next game is against Port which is probably a loss anyway before the following must win against North.

But teams we play in Darwin have won the week after so it should be no different for us.

Why has the club not released any word on Viney and Tyson?

There are pics and rumours floating around that Viney has gone in for surgery?

This is seriously a concern. Usually no injury news is BAD news!!!

Apparently it's a specific surgery relating to the Plantar Fascitis muscle where they actually cut the tendon to help it repair.

Apparently if it doesn't fully tear, it can just continue to be painful and not heal properly.

They just showed the team training on 9 news and Frost was moving fine.

As was Jack Watts last week. I actually think,and hope, he will play. All I am saying is that if he experienced hamstring tightness during the game but continued that is a different story from cooling down afterwards or a day or two later. From bitter experience, I have played out games with tightness,feeling OK,not great early in the week and pushing to hard in the next game.Having said that, trust our conditioning and fitness staff to make the right call. Still think there is some doubt.

Just trying to cheer up the place. Frost was with main group, bending down, touching grass and getting back up like a spring chicken from the snipet they showed. Can ill afford to lose more run.

Very true mate! We just have to scrape through the next few games with wins and get some soldiers back. The bye at the end of year may do us a favour like the dogs last year

    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

    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,
