  • 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.

Pedersen for Hogan makes sense. Vince and Jones taking JKH's and Trengove's spots also makes sense.

Hannan has been "rested" - probably not a bad idea, assuming it's true, and gives Maynard a taste.

This game is winnable. GWS has hardly played a good game for two months.

On a side note, how stupid is it that we haven't played GWS in over a year after playing them twice in two games.

I was thinking the same thing.

Since we last played GWS, they've played Sydney five times.

I don't know if I can handle watching this game.

A Freudian slip there, BPP?

My very being is telling me to stay away from the TV for this game but my heart is telling me to watch. My heart is pure evil and loves nothing more than creating pain for my wretched soul.

Not sure why Weiderman wasn't picked?

I assume its because the FD think Pederson is more likely to perform at the required level.

Weiderman will have his time over the coming years, but now we need to win a few games and make finals and I agree with the FD that Pedo is more likely to deliver.

It's an easy decision pedo backs up gawn in the ruck, McDonald is much more likely to have a day out than pedo up forward so he needs to stay close to goal, the weed just is not ready and I would just leave him at Casey now for the rest of the year

Happy they didn't pick Weid, has had a few decent games at VFL level but hardly banging the door down.  Pedo matched or even bettered him the last few games so to me its a no brainer.

Feel bad for Trenners, if he gets not interest for trades, maybe we can delist him and rookie him like we did with Jetta, we still need strong leaders in the VFL for the development of the kids.

Strange that there is no time frame on Jesse, not even a minimum.

Hannan did looked pretty cooked last week, freshen him up to come back hopefully with a bang.

Never rated JKH , hasn't been too bad playing as an inside mid, alot better there than forward, but still think he is lacking in many areas, especially defensive.

Be really nice to win tomorrow.

Because he is still a kid.. Can't play through injury and can't tuck. Playing him last year killed us when we needed a presence at CHF! Here's hoping this is a game where Pedersen stands up and makes the AFL take notice. How good would a big bag of 5 be?

blunstone oval runs north south (like shitehad). anyone know if canberra oval is north/south or east/west?

if east/west the wind won't advantage any end unduly as the wind is mainly from the north but will still make conditions tricky

Yep pretty much North/South, slight orientation to the right if centre. Looks miserable (particularly definitely you are a sheep) a 2-3 wind advantage to the southern end.

Playing him this year killed us, no impact.

Hard to fathom that Corey Maynard hadn't played a game of footy in ten years prior to this season. And now he's playing an AFL game.

Given how far he has come in such a short time Corey is a very weird combination of a 26 y.o with some serious upside.

    Despite dominating for large parts of the match and not making the most of their forward opportunities the Demons grinded out a hard fought win and claimed a massive scalp by defeating the Cats by 8 points at the MCG.

    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
