  • 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.

i personally trust the football / fitness etc. staff to be doing the right thing by our players

Some decisions to play players who are injured have been bizzare. Misson already has a job secured elsewhere so is his performance for the next several months something that isnt important?

If he wasn’t carrying so much extra weight.. he may have been able to resurface quicker! 

Actually, if he is fat as everyone makes out, he should have floated!!

Late night. 

All good.

I had a fair few bevies and got home to find one of my favorite players had nearly drowned (probably not even close to what actually happened but that's how I read it at the time.)

My post was purely emotional.

The club should do some Mongolian throat singing together to increase their lung capacity. ?

 

I don't know about lung capacity...  but it Would help with sleep-apnea.

That last effort on the boundary line to win that contested ball and kick it forward was huge.

Please lord let him one day put it all together and fulfil his potential.

May be he should have a near death experience each week 

Maybe this pool training,  helps them to overcome some fears, as well.  

Forcing them out of their comfort zones.

They asked Maxy about it on the radio after the game and said yeah I have never seen a medicine ball used on the MCG before, pointing out what was the pint. Then they joked about his height helping him because he'd have his head out of water. 

But then jokingly said maybe Petracca should do it again next week seeing as he played well today.

Apart from that horrible set shot for goal, I thought he was good today.

I was surprised to see he only had 11 disposals (along with only  2 tackles, 0 goals).   Obviously thats a very low output but he was very physical and had some big moments.  He certainly didn't play poorly, which you'd think he must have just looking at the stat count.

Still needs to lift big time though.

If/when he sheds some Kgs,  those number of contests,  and so disposals will increase.

    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.

    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
