    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.

Oh @Big Demon - I hope that’s your handle and your real name is Luke Beveridge or Nathan Buckley

Will be an easy one to fact check next week Danelska, if he gets a tag you’re right and I’m wrong - if he doesn’t you’re wrong and I’m right.

Deal?

I actually thought his value the last few weeks has been his ability to spread from the contest and pick up those outside disposals.  He has been doing it (the inside to out role) much better than Tyson was, and it frees Oliver to be damaging inside without needing to be the first to spread. 

Fair call, Tyson has struggled for form this year sadly.

Jack Viney is out of touch....

Will be a lot better for it after the bye

I thought he got better in the second half. Got caught a few times in the first trying to just tackles

Totally agree with this. And the friggin ‘yews’ in every gap of the verse. Goes for all teams. There ought to be a singing/chanting coach brought in.

i really hate to say it, but the blues the other week nailed their song- proper tempo and no ‘yews’. 

Our boys have to lift 

I thought i noticed that too......didnt mind the indigenous version as well, sung before the game.

15 mins into watching the game. 

Wow. Ball movement, spread, marking...all of it! So good. 

Then I saw Hunt and Pedo running laps while the game is on. THAT says it all to me...

Have you not seen it yet DG? Get ready for a perpetual smile over the next few days.

Viney's 35 possessions when he spent least time on the ground (out of both teams) wasn't too shabby.

Not to mention that the 'expert' commentators expected him to have a downer in his second game back - they're talking about The Beast!

What an awesome day and well done MFC. How well have this club embraced the N.T and did anyone notice (sorry if alreadu mentioned) that the club went to the trouble of getting the song recorded in the local dialect. They played it as we came on the ground. Channel 7's coverage of the pre game and story on translating "Grand old flag" intoArrernte language were first class. Go dees

Viney getting that involved in his 2nd game back is [censored] frightening. 

The midfield we’ve assembled after years of rolling (with all due respect) garbage through there is an absolute joy to watch. Skill, heart, hardness, consistency... just a group of beasts. 

The back line is perfect for modern footy. 

The forward line is [censored] off good. 

And the greatest ruckman on earth. 

Haven’t had this much fun watching footy since 98 and 2000. And I appreciate it so much more these days. And at a time when 14 other teams are dishing up crud spectacles. Keep it going. 

[censored] yes Dees.

Anyone questioning Viney is clueless. Even if his 'touch' isn't quite there yet.

He was monumental at the coal face today and his pressure and tackling is out of this world. He wins scraps on the ground when he should have absolutely no right to win them. Two against ones, you name it.

I have nothing negative to say about today's game. It was by far one of the best four quarter efforts I've seen from this club.

The confidence we now play with is what is most exciting and I can't believe we're still injury free. 

Dees.

My boss is a mad Crow, he even sqwaks after goals, so much so that even though he lives in Melb he will tune into 5AA radio when the Power loses...

I really enjoyed going to Adelaide with him last year for the Dees game and had a $50 bottle of wine on today’s result... I’ll be putting witches hats around his desk before he gets in tomorrow.

That was one of the best games I’ve ever seen us play in my 40 years. Bring on the next 2 weeks and hopefully some great footy to boost member numbers and get a few people who may have left back on board.

And a big poster of Josh Jenkins on his wall!

What an amazing performance. We are in a serious run of form at the moment.

I thought our game plan was unsustainable and too taxing, but we seem to have struck a sweet spot recently, especially since TMac has been back.

I remember in either the third or last quarter in defence and viney was one on two or three cow players and he had the ball/lost the ball got the ball back and cleared it out. 

His determination, strength and will to win the ball and contest was magnificent. 

Couldnt fault him he is an awesome player and thanks Todd for producing such a specimen.

I had no idea that Tim Smith was capable of playing this sort of football.  Having seen very little of him in the past, what I had seen was, what I believed to be, one dimensional.  Good VFL key position player, but non-impactful at senior level.

He has been outstanding and his versatility and aggression is a real weapon.

Hasn't had the chance to prove himself at senior level after getting a punctured lung in his debut last year. Thought this was his best. He rarely gets beaten in the air bringing the ball to ground and loves the contested ball.

Apparently been doing it for quite a while down at Casey so forced Dees to pick him up. Nice stuff. Our tall forward depth is pretty great at the moment.

    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
