  • 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.

Lack of height killed us last week

Harmes is probably on notice for those 2 momentum killing turnovers in the second half last week.

20 points up with all the momentum and he finds a Port player at our half fwd. That is what's keeping him from being a serious player.

He lets us down a lot with these poor decisions & execution. I was annoyed when he turned it over as it changed the momentum of the game. Him & Hannan need 2 improve their kicking or play at Casey

Extremely strange as they saw what it did to us last week.

I wonder if TMac is pulling out and they will play Spargo.

If he doesn't start improving he could be the next big name to be dropped.

Was named in our bests 3 of the first 4 and then the finger issue. Should have missed two-three weeks minimum but stupidly played through and has not recovered his touch or confidence. Was looking good quarter 1 last week settled back as a pure forward. I expect him to get back to something like his best this one.

Odds on Saints $6.05. I don't think they'll win, but very juicy odds.

Now $7, and Melbourne into $1.10. Is it just me or do these odds seem a little skewed? Saints coming off a bye and morale boosting win, Dees off 2 losses. Certainly the punters out there fancy us!

Talked to him already, as per the article, he knows he drifts out of games and needs to put the same effort in for 4 qtrs, knows he has the ability, just getting the application going

On that note, expect the big angry bear called Hogan, to be just that on Sunday

No, we will smash them.

The Freo game in Darwin next week is where the value is if you're a betting man.

I noticed that Pedo Bear lined up for Casey this afternoon, so it's probably reasonable to assume that Tom Mac got through his fitness test this morning, and will play against the Saints tomorrow.

Edit:  unless they go with only two talls and Charlie Spargo .

If Tom Mac plays, we have again gone in without a crumber.  Tigers have 5 of them in the F50 and we have none. Now who is playing the better style of footy.

Im struggling to really understand the brilliance of our ploy to essentially play one style ...and then start withdrawing essential elements of that design.

With Geelong going down this makes this game so important. I think a few of the make the 8 teams could drop games. We simply need to win the next 3. 

All we need this year is to make the eight. It will assist in attracting players to the club. 2019 will be our big year!

I may be alone but i don't see making the eight as a walk up.

If our game is so much about our inside50's...our pressure to keep it in there then you need the likes of spargo...i would have thought.

Our fwd structure is awkward and incomplete.

Saints might surprise us.

If the Saints surprise us it will be a dead set disgrace because they are pathetic.

We are not the Tigers, so there is no point setting up the same way.

    It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

    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.

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
