  • 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.

People laugh when I say all I want for Xmas is "No Injuries".

With Jack and Tom back and May and Lever firing, and some Pickett/Bennell smooth moves, what more could you ask?

Oh no!!! wearing runnners in the warm up exercises

He changes into boots for any match sim

Good management I"d call it

Whilst the rest of the team are wearing footy boots. 
 

Good observation I’d call it. Something you struggle with.

You mean when i observe him changing into boots at the many training sessions I have been to

You need to say hello when you are the next training, observing first hand what happens

I asked him about the runners and got a satisfactory answer

You’re the bloke who told everyone that this time last year the team was going just fine. 
Just because you attend training means nothing to me. 
I’m extremely grateful for the terrific insights of the other track watchers - just not yours. 
Don’t be upset by that, I’m only being pragmatic.

Then put him on ignore and everyone will be happy.  The perfect Christmas win win.

Geez mate. Not need to pot the bloke just because he disagreed with you. Try playing the ball and not the man next time.

I thought being priggish, but that's me being pragmatic

How hurtful, not and me valuing your insights so highly, that's if you ever post any meaningful that is

All teams look a million dollars in pre season, it doesn't necessarily translate into the season

I thought you as an astute observer of footy would know that

Any reporting in pre season means nothing except the teporting of injury and rehabbing

I watched all the rehabbers work hard to get back in main group and 2 of them finish top 5 in the B&F

There is absolutely no alarm about a picture of Viney in runners, he has completed every session and in the last couple of match sims, it was the Viney of old

It's just a shame you need to find something negative in what has been a good pre season so far

But then again they always are

What if the season turns to [censored] again, we going to say an average of 38 players each session of pre season was the reason

2019 was a pretty average season from Viney despite him playing the most games in a season yet. He barely had an impact in any games and had his worst statical season in 5-6 years. 

Hopefully with more time on the park over the coming years we can see a return of the 2016-2017 Viney that won more ball, laid more tackles, kicked a few more goals and made all his teammates walk taller. He was pushing towards elite across those seasons and was having a huge impact on games. The game away against West Coast in 2017 was a prime example of him bringing full intensity, notching up 39 disposals (despite missing a quarter with injury) and laying out their captain with a huge hit. Same in the Hawthorn game where he got 30+ disposals, but more importantly 15 tackles to set the tone and setup the win.

If we see more of that 2017 Viney, it'll help immensely with our poor infield leadership and to help our midfield become dominant again.

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    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
