  • 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.

My best guess is that Watts is out. In that case 

In: Hogan, Garlett, Kent, Kennedy

Out: Viney, Bugg, White, Stretch 

If Watts gets up, Pedo gets dropped. T.Mac has been our most dangerous forward for a few weeks now 

Stretch was horrible against Sydney, but good against West Coast the week before with 22, 4 tackles and a goal.

I'd give him another week.

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.

A note on White, reminded me of another elite kick, half back we had at the club who struggled with confidence at AFL level...

Not so much on game style but both with so called elite kicks, both with no confidence to kick apart from little chip kicks that miss targets.

Anyone know who I'm talking about???

I thought he was going alright at AFL level until he broke his leg.  Never the same player.

Strauss was at best "almost ok" pre injury.  The other "elite kick" who couldn't get enough of the ball was Maric.

Geez these 6 day breaks looks like they might kill  have killed our season 

PJ needs to insist on a more equitable "draw" next year, when we are on schedule to give it a real tilt.

Bye after Darwin (if we must play there)

More Friday nights and Saturday nights

I think after three 6-day breaks this past month, the boys will be walking on air this Sunday.

Cherry ripe and ready to rock, with Hogan and Jeffy in and on.

Go Dees!

I doubt we'll make too many more changes than necessary. Hogan/Garlett for Viney/Bugg. The Hunt forward experiment didn't work, so he goes back, and if Hogan comes in, same story for Tommy Mac. Presumably then, at least one of Wagner or White go out as well, which would open a place for Kennedy-Harris in the mids. If Garlett comes back in, can't see Kent or Kennedy getting a run.

Losing all of Salem/Jones/Viney/Tyson ... just not possible.

It's a start! Will be great to see these players gradually come back over the coming month or so.

Not sure why the hate for Wagner, he was good before he was dropped, everyone here said he was unlucky, his form was ok for Casey, I think he is a project similar to Oscar. That being said, not sure how good a judge I am, cause I was calling for Oscar's head every week, but I am eating humble pie now.

People suddenly dont have Tyson in their outs, I must have missed an update  ...   is he all clear to play?

Will get a fitness test on Thursday to determine if he plays or not.  I still expect him to miss but it's a more positive outlook than we might have first hoped for.

Thats good news, would be awesome if he got up. At worst he might miss just 1 game, but we thought the same about Watts and Garlett too.

I don't think Trengove will come in - but if he doesn't come in this week, with the situation as it is, then it's a certainty that he's played his last game for the Dees and at AFL level.

  • “Dom is touch and go,”
  • “Jesse is training really well...but it’s more about his mindset than anything, so we’ll make a decision on that later in the week.
  • “Jeff did a great session today; he ran really fast. Essentially, he just needs to train with the group on Friday and get through and pull up well.”

Reading that in order of likelihood to play:  Jeff, Jesse, Dom.

Fingers crossed they make it for Sunday.

Carloton's extensive Injury List:

Alex Silvagni Knee 1 week

Tom Williamson Back 1 week

Ed Curnow Larynx 4 weeks

Jed Lamb...

Essentially only 1 player from their best side. Melbourne has 9 of which 2 might come back this week.

Hogan to return via VFL.

Weed highly likely to be picked.

Sauce - Mitch Cleary, 3AW sports today.

Why pick Weed this week but not last week? We would make room for Hogan sure, but no need to bring in another tall for the sake of it?

    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,

    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
