It would be interesting to know. somehow they may have more relevance. I suspect a few, but let's see.....It would give a lot more relevance to their understanding of the game.

clearly there are doctors and lawyers who post and they often reveal themselves, why not AFL experts?

I remember reading (on demonland or the old 'ology) that players were warned by the club not to venture onto this site.

However I reckon a few may take a peek! Old players? probably a few. However if I was a current player and had had a couple of poor matches, I'd not want to come anywhere near opening this site. It'd make me suicidal!

I'm a little suspicious of yourself given the approach of a new thread?

I expect guys like Robbo, Ox and Garry Lyon would jump on here at times considering their involvement in the media. It's a good way to gauge how the hardcore supporters are feeling, and occasionally get some useful information.

Yeah I'd expect the media people to peruse this forum.

Jimmy definitely did not encourage players to visit here or 'Ology.

Most footy stories originate from Big Footy or club based supporter sites like this. If it goes [censored] up they can blame anonymous users on the internet. Clowns.

Col Garland used to post on Big Footy before he was drafted.

Yeah for sure. Even just for loose statements like your classic "Most Melbourne people would say that Jake Lever would be a valuable addition" line

One in particular. For the sake of privacy, let's call him J Watts. Actually, that's too obvious. Let's say Jack W.

One of my favorite players back in the glory days was Barrie Vagg, who is also one of my favorite posters here. 

Presumably - in fact I think there are site rules governing this that one can't use a player's mane unless you are he - Ray Biffin also posts.

Of course not. Saty is actually Garry Baker after having been put through the wash too many times.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
