  • 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 we get AvB playing in 202 that is like having a new recruit, I remember when we got Brayshaw back in 2018 it was much the same way, he'd almost become a forgotten figure and when he was actually given a chance to play he really shon through.

I feel like he'll be a challenge for our new fitness staff to handle but boy if we get him right, could make a massive difference!

Definitely... he already showed us glimpses of what a fit AVB will be like, in the run up to the finals last year.

To be honest i was expecting a better mark than a two grabber where he didn't get far off the ground.

Soaring across the pack is a bit of a stretch!

It was the reading of the ball in flight and quick step that took him from being behind Lever? to i front of the pack and in  a position to be able to take the mark that I was impressed with.

Cannot get that out of my memory. What he offers is remarkably good, so let's all light a candle to his immediate recovery. How frustrated must he feel? In a crowd striding independently around the Northern Stand last season, he looked as impressive as a young Ditterich caught in a world of midgets and I was glad that I did not have to play on him - or his ilk - in my day. AVB, May, Petracca, tough nuts and hungry ... can't wait. I get these chills about having another Rod Grinter (or three) back into the MFC team - ready to wreak carnage with grace, poise, footballing nouse and intent.

He looks natural footballer doesn't he.

Exciting talent and the vibe seems to be he has huge upside.

I love also that the consensus seems to be that he is super competitive. He also seems to be a pretty laid back kid, which i think is nice balance and is helpful for some elite sportsmen.

I hate to [censored] on the party

But this drill went for about 10 minutes, prior to the one mark recorded Jackson wasn't getting near it because of the bigger and more experienced bodies

A good learning experience

Who are you and what have you done with the real Saty?

Actually appreciate that bit of balanced reporting.

Perhaps puts the "THAT'S what we [censored] got you here for" comment into context.

Vanders went with the forwards when they broke into 'recognisable' groups

and so I think,  he should, his big body running around our forward line gives opposition defenders very serious doubts as to whether or not they are about to be crunched by a B double truck   or not.  It causes indecision which in turn creates opportunity for our guys !!

Just not a fan of hyperbole 

From what I have seen at training, can see why we went with pick 3

But let's wait and see

Sick of this site building up players only to knock them down again

Same with Pickett, Bedford has been developing nicely but without the fanfare

    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.

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
