  • 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.

GAME DAY

Richmond have beaten the two bottom of the ladder teams in Brisbane and Carlton and have beaten an up and down Hawthorn and lost to an injury depleted Adelaide. Grow some nuts, Melbourne by 64.

Again...it would make more sense to rest him next weekend... he's just had how many days since his last game ?

How many really put it all game against Hawks ? He did.

Paint this any way folk like... imho it's dumb dumb f'n stupid.

Tonight is a far more important game than Essendon.

Interesting stats Ethan. Where from?

Footy Live app. Need to capitalise on the hitout differential, this is where we really miss Viney. He and Gawn had a great synergy.

Wet weather is all the more reason to play Fritsch, the boy does not fumble.

Thought he was unlucky.

I know Weid was great at Casey ......Fritsch was much better than weids first 2 games.

i rate richmond super highly and have done for several years - 2016 was an aberration for them, and 2017 they made up being knocked out in elimination finals in 2013, 2014, and 2015

they've been in the finals for four of the last five years and have, arguably, three of the best 10 players in the afl in martin, rance, and cotchin

their small forwards and defensive press is incredible

i think they'll well and truly put us away - 7 goals plus - but i honestly don't think it's the end of the world as they're the reigning premiers and have started the year on fire compared to our wobbly beginnings to 2018

Yeah that must be it. Doubt there were any valid football related reasons at all.

Id love to know what that validity was as it flies in the face of sense.

Mind you.. we're getting good at that

If true, surely you'd rest him before the game which has a five day break, not after a nine day break.

What if they want him to play against Essendon because we need speed against Essendon on the faster Etihad track? 

If we lose tonight it won't be because we missed Fritsch.

As Josh Mahoney said this morning, we are picking teams with tonight's game in mind first and foremost.

I understand young players being rested, it just doesn't make a lot of sense to rest after a nine-day break.

If it's wet like predicted then all the more reason to play him tonight.

I have been waiting for this side to explode the last 18 months. We see quarters here & there, halves here & there but we haven't seen it for a whole 4 quarters. Tonight is the night, I can sense it. Big stage, a lot to prove. We win this & we'll do it by 5-6 goals+

No'one should underestimate the loss of Vlastuin for the tiges, he is a massive out.

Four of our most important players have all been poor in 2018...    they must turn it around tonight and get their season on track.  Thats 4/6 of our backline, no wonder we have been leaking goals.

All guns when on song.  Fire up fellas.

    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
