    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.

Well at least tonight we wont have the constant momentum killer in ANB butchering the absolute basics of the game.... I don't know what to expect tonight after "circling up"- One things for sure Sydney have been pretty bad at home the last two seasons... They haven't looked great this year either, hell if we were blessed with playing the blues in the first 3 rounds we too would have a win on the board... I'll say we will win, but with zero confidence at all. 

 

We might. He's an emergency and there's a doubt about T Mac playing. Could ANB be the one who comes in as a late change? One thing's for sure, if that happens, be ready for some apoplexy on Demonland. 

For what it's worth, given the other emergencies are Spargo, Hore and Petty, I would have thought ANB would be the logical replacement for T Mac because it replaces like-for-like in running capability. I can't see how any of the other emergencies make sense as a replacement for T Mac. Not sure ANB makes a lot of sense, either, but at least having a player with the a tank to run hard all game would be maintained.

There's been a lot of gloom on Demonland of late. Although it must be said that even at the best of times, there is always a healthy miasma of despair hovering around the place. Comes with supporting

I have this feeling in my bones - call it a vibe - that we’re going to win this and win it well. We’re playing poorly but are only a goal behind.  We can do much better than this and it’s ti

Spargo for mine, key forwards Preuss and Weideman, at least Spargo will have a crack.

I honestly think we have a chance tonight. Swans coming off a slightly lesser break plus their older guys likes of Buddy, Kennedy and Reid will struggle to come up. In addition their ins are a 1st gamer and Jack who is slower than Jones! I am hoping this is so.

Speaking of Kennedy, we need to take a line from his Grand Father and JUST DO IT.

I have three tickets to the game tonight spare after a family illness.

They are located in Section 3 of the O'Reilly Stand, Row X, Seats 54, 55, 56. We will be sitting in Seats 52 and 53.

This is a great location at the SCG to watch football.

If anyone wants them at half price ($35) then please send me a direct message today and we can arrange to meet at Gate F tonight or I can send them to your mobile number.

best wishes

bill

Nice gesture

I hope they get well soon and Dees get up and get the job done for them (and me)

Spargo is fairly good with the ball in congestion, a quick mind,  he can find targets inside F50, with his vision.

I think a Demon side with Stretch, Spargo and Lockhart in it,  is getting closer to better balance.

Judging by the post on the MFC facebook page Tmac will play.... 

Great,as long as he isnt restricted like he clearly was last week.   Hes an option to play on Buddy too.  Maybe Frost starts on him and t Mac can move there if Buddy starts to dominate.

The closer we get to game time the more confident I am of winning.  ?

I'd love to see a statistic like: fumbles to an opposition player.

Seems like he constantly fails to grasp the ball in contests, and when he does it he inevitably knocks it to an opposing player who bursts away from the stoppage.

His absence will do wonders in my view.

Watch Buddy & Reid kick 10 between them and Kennedy get 35.

Onfield, we have some lines that are very near being the best in the whole League. Have we lost this match against the Swans before we even step onto the ground?

Yes.

I will be amazed if the Swans don’t go rampant tonight on their home deck. 

Essendrug are a shiit team and they kicked 8 unanswered last week, after we had taken the lead, thinking the job was done. 

How many times have i witnessed that over many years

The Circle ⭕️ of truth will not be enough when the coach persists with a gameplan that has been punctured and picked apart.

Jetta a late withdrawl - no reason given. ?  He hasn't looked right all year so better to let him recover than risk whatever it is getting worse. 

Hore to replace him.

    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
