    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 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.

Goodwin must have read demonland and finally came to his senses of playing Garlett and Spargo in the same team with our inside 50s.

Best selections for a while.   Exactly what we have been calling for on here.

Two small crumbers, some speed, and an outside mid who can spread.

Will be pleasantly surprised if Jeffy gets a run.  So many logical reasons to do this...but they...its footy

Be VERY intrigued if they DO play both Spargo AND Jeffy..have been want ting to see this just about all year..Just have a gut feeling theyd work well of of each other and wouldnt trip over each other either. Frost seems a beyond  "about time"inclusion

I await official team sheet with more interest than I thought Id have this week...tttt

Jeffy when on song is a terrific small forward. He has surely done his penance and is at his best on the big AFL stage not at some VFL sideshow.

God I hope Frost isn't playing forward. 

Doubt it... he'll be doing Petty's job ...or rather..playing down back ?

Hard to argue with the outs, like for like position-wise, except we've exchanged a tall + small forward for two smalls.

Tyson done? Would be a shame, he has some abilities.

Might they play Jeffy deep...and Spargo high ?

Height not so important in conditions..speed and endurance is.

I don't mind this team...as such

From a personal perspective pretty disappointed Dec didn’t get in this week, at least he is an emergency though. I understand why the chose who they did, hopefully it’s s good game.

Yes! Jeffy AND Spargo in the same team. 

Great job Goody. 

Stretch makes more sense than Tyson. 

Unfortunately for Dom he is our 5th or 6th best inside mid and cannot play on the out side to save himself. 

Frost in was a must.

Good selections overall.  I think we needed to go a little smaller, especially in Darwin with the slippery conditions, but I think it makes us a more balanced side.

Interestingly, Frost has been named at FF.  Will he actually play there is another thing, but they might be using him as the pinch hitter in the ruck this week.

Paul Roos questioned the selection of the team of late... 

He hinted the selection committee didn’t know what they were doing. I agreed!

A lot of us did

Somebody give Frosty Tony Campbell's super sticky footy mitts! He may be frosty but he is no lover of the pre-frost precursor dew.

Aren't we forgetting that Garlett has been very underwhelming in the magoos? What happened to rewarding form at VFL level?

Inconsistent selection choices yet again imo

Agree BUT....He had 7 tackles, maybe that is what they were looking for, forward pressure not necessarily disposals?

    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

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
