    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.

On the positive IF we can somehow scrape/ fluke/ edge our way into the finals. We get Viney and hibberd bk fresh. But .... I agree. Club is cursed. Memories of 1995 when Schwartz, tingay, Charles , Lyon, , jakovich all had virtually career ending injuries. 

We’re going to have to b lucky now. Feel like we’re gonna be one win short. Can’t help but see the High irony if Gawn, having the best season fr the club I can almost remember post flower, may have in part cost us a finals spot in round 1.

The week and the weekend suddenly has taken a turn for the worse. 

Massive loss. Hibberd brings so much to the team.  

 Quad injuries are difficult to heal. A serious tear could be season ending.  

Please wrap Max up in cotton wool.

That’s some good news if that’s the case Rusty. Misson’s report stated he hurt his quad in the ‘extras’ session after the main was completed. Aarghhh!! 

Hibbo as seen on the news footage that morning still managed to stop for a young fan’s autograph request on his limping way back to AAMI.

Happy for any good news Rusty....but how reliable is your source? 2-3 would be a massive relief if you're right. Could be we get Hunt, Viney, Hibberd back all around the same time. And yes I know Hunt was playing in the Magoos when injured but cant help but feel how much we're missing him atm.

How does the severity of Hibberd's injury affect our chances of winning this week? He's not playing either way.

It doesn't - I meant if it's a tear it's season over for him but if it's only a strain I still think we can win this week without him anyway and hopefully get him back the week after.

Very solid Wells.  Not in the business of selling false hope to the long suffering here.

Assuming the recovery goes as expected, Hibbs will return in 2 to 3

Hope Your right about Hibberd, can’t really afford a longer injury this stage of the season

Especially on the bigger MCG type grounds where he can run to space and break the lines.

I'd give him the Crows game and the Suns game to get it right.  The Adelaide game might be too soon, while I think we can get away with not having him for a horrible Suns side.  Get him cherry ripe for the Swans.

Still no update on Hibberd?

No timetable was given for his injury

The Demons, battling for a return to the finals for the first time since 2006, hope to have co-captain Jack Viney (foot) and running defender Michael Hibberd (quad) back for the round-21 clash against Sydney.

Cheers 10.

To say it would be a huge boost to get them back for that crucial match would be an understatement.

    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
