  • 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.

Cameron Pedersen booted five goals in the VFL on Sunday but won't be picked to play the Tigers.    Thats surprising, a one day break should surely be enough.

Mate I’ve said it before on here and I’ll say it again.  You need to remove that “Pro” part from your name.. Because you have absolutely no idea.

He’s become a really handy player for the Tigers, I had my doubts he was going to make it. 

Agree with that, thought he was going down the road of a B grade plodder in and out of VFL but credit to him. Outs for Tigers are handy for us

Assuming:

In: Tyson, Hunt, Weideman. 

Out: Bugg, Frost, Lewis.

Think this improves us on last weeks team.

Hogan to swing between CHF and CHB?

 

CHB?

No.

Reiwoldt is Richmond’s only tall forward. Frost was dropped because of this and form. Hopefully doesn’t ever come back in.

Hogan needs to play his roaming game and all Weed needs to do is make a genuine contest at every opportunity. If he doesn’t mark it, bring it to ground.

swing/roam same same. Has been spending a bit of time across half back anyway in recent weeks. Just on marking, we dont have many good marks in the side either.

Vlaustin and Caddy in doubt. Though I suspect the latter will play.

Frost dumped for this week (and possibly forever IMO)

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-04-23/big-demon-defender-out-of-tigers-clash

Tigers only have 1 big up forward. Frost didn’t have an opponent. He will play against sides with the right match up

That was Wagner's brother Corey playing yesterday, not the senior Wagner. 

Bit difficult to tell from the radio commentary however he seemed like he saw a bit of the pill!

Big outs for RICHMOND. Vlaustin is critical down back. He had 17 kicks and 10 marks against hawks. 

Call me a pessimist but we will not beat them, even with those outs.

I even forgot about Tyson!  He is more of a certainty if he is over his illness than the others...

Reports from training stated he trained fully on the weekend. Plus, No Tyson No Melbourne.

We are 0-2 without and 2-0 with this year.

Would have struggled to get a game anyway in my opinion.

Unless something dramatic happens I can't see him on the list next year.

I think he will only play now if injuries mean we are desperate for a tall option.

MCC sold out and now predicting 87K.  reckon we should tick over 90K given the weather

Dumb question, but does anyone know if MFC members (I'm an 11 game member) need to buy tickets for this game or just rock up?

I find Ticketek very confusing.

EDIT: It is recommended that members reserve a seat I have since found out.

We shouldn’t be relying on Hogan in the midfield, there’s plenty of kids in the side. We need him to kick 70-80 and he could if Goodwin left him alone.

Harmes as a ruck is beyond stupid by the coach

Just hope you say the same thing about Hardwick and Shaun Grigg! They did win a flag with it mind you Febel!

Have a look at this Clint.

Seems that  you can get general admission with your MFC membership but it could be pot luck getting a seat. There is always standing room in the Southern Stand.

They are missing two role players.

We are missing Viney and T Mac.

The Tigers are lucky.

My guess it:

In: Stretch, Weids, Tyson, Hunt

Out: Lewis, Bugg, Frost, one of: Harmes/Melksham

We can’t continue to carry both Harmes and Melksham, I agree with your ins/outs. 

Disappointed in Harmes so far after reading good reports on him during the off-season. He came back in great shape having shed some kilo’s.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
