  • 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.

If Clarry CHOO CHOO DOESNT make AA I will..

.......................Not give a damn. I don't need a board of selectors to tell me if he is in the best 22 players' in the league or not. I know he is, and he plays for us.................

When is the AA team actually announced?

And you're right, if Oliver doesnt make it there will be riots.   Sadly I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make it as its the same idiot selectors who failed to even put him in the squad of 40 last season.

Still flies under the radar for opposition supporters    They all know big Max   but no idea of Clayton Oliver.

Will be  No 1 in the league next year    Go Dees !!

.... remind myself that the AA selectors will, whenever there is a toss-up between several players for the same position, reward the "big" club with selection.

Oliver is so far ahead of the competition it doesnt matter.

Know that the selectors have not acknowledged a "Stellar" year! and have no idea! What a player!

Thread topic, sounds a bit presumptuous, conspiratorial and cynical... he will be in.

my essendon 'mate' hates him. reckons he's super over-rated and just racks up the possies with rubbish handballs. says that his kicking leaves a lot to be desired. i just laugh. i've about given up sending him highlights packages of him. just keep asking him how parish is going. LOL.

While I get this line of thinking, it's not about you or me. The bloke should get the credit he deserves, and he deserves an All Australian jumper to tell his grandkids about. The first of many I'm sure, and will sit nicely besides a few B&Fs, a couple of premierships and a Brownlow.

You don't think you might be just a little biased?

Many football experts have him on the pine with 'more deserving' mids starting.  Fair enough.

But if you were picking a side to play for your life, you would have him starting on the wing instead of Gaff/McCrae, because he matches them outside, AND trumps them inside AND going forward too.

 

These footy experts can't think beyond their nose.

Both Clarry and Maximus absolutely have to make it.

I can see why Gawn might as he has been the stand out Ruckman this year but why Clarry?

yes he has had a good year for us but in the position he plays there are a large number of very good players.

It is like the Mid fielders award there are some very good players scoring votes every week.

    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.

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
