  • 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.

Take this with a massive, massive grain of salt. What a mutt this bloke is.

  1. A #whispers EXCLUSIVE “His head is that far up his own...” A club source today confirmed that the so called “infected dog bite” is a smokescreen for the real reason “CP5” will miss this weekend; he was dropped after concerns about his “arrogant” and egotistical behaviour #AFLAFL18.png

    Petracca underwent minor finger surgery this week and was medically cleared to play this weekend. The decision comes after repeated warnings from club officials, coaches and the leadership group.

    The dog bite, while severe, was not severe enough to miss an AFL game.

Will do.

This is the kind of disinformation that flies about when a club is going through a rough trot.

Collingwood have put with this kind of $h!t for ever, even in good times.

When the vultures get a faint whiff of blood, this is the bull**** that starts to circulate. Hogan's too easy a target ... next we'll hear something about Max, or Oliver.

The specific rumour isn't worrying. It's more that the smell of blood is in the air.

Goody is hell-bent on "Humble" so I would not be shocked.

Yeah, but dropping a player for being arrogant and egotistical? 

I've no doubt Trac is a bit arrogant and maybe has a big ego, but to drop him for that is rubbish.

It's more believable to suggest they kept him out as punishment for not being upfront about the bite. But even that's a billy stretch.

"club officials, coaches and the leadership group"

The days of coaches calling all the shots in isolation finished the day they stopped moving their own cones around, about 50 years ago.

It's still rubbish. More likely he was punished for keeping the injury secret but even that's a billy stretch.

So the guy ... who this week dropped a fan favourite and rusted on best 22 player Garlett

You're defending mediocrity.

Garlett had 6 possessions this week, and 5 the week before. Heaven help us that's what we expect of a "rusted on best 22 player"

He deserved to get dropped, regardless of who made the decision.

AFL trade whisperer is known for spouting absolute dross, and this is no exception. You only need to scroll through his news feed to see this.

    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.

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
