  • 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'm maintained that if NSW can't host footy due to COVID, she's all over. Surely a bridge too far??

The AFL will no doubt be panicking about the rise in cases each day.

AFL still have Darwin up their sleeves, maybe Alice Springs as well.

While NSW might become a problem for the AFL, it will become a nightmare of epic proportion for the NRL. At least the AFL has WA, SA, Tassie and the NT as predominantly AFL-States/Territory from which it might be able to choose.

Just read a headline (lol) saying NRL looking to move all clubs to QLD.

Skirting all round the country to get the season done it's a bit funny... why don't they just take the whole afl to a neutral location say.. Tasmania or NT and get the whole season done asap

Darwin probably about to come into the mix sooner than expected....

Currently experiencing a balmy, covid free 28 degrees C with  a low relative humidity of 14%, ESE wind gusts up to 46 km/hr.

If MFC are penciled in for hub here, expect to  have home ground advantage at Marrara. Let the circus begin.

Not ideal playing Brisbane at Metricon instead of NSW, but it's probably better to have the certainly of where we'll play now, rather than be like GWS/Richmond or Sydney/Hawthorn who are in still NSW for round 8.

Given how fast the COVID situation changes, who knows this far out whether those games will actually be in NSW, or moved, or even postponed.

We already have one catch up game hanging over our heads, so maybe thats why we were shifted, to prevent possibility of 2nd?

Thanks 58. I did contact them and they ask if I was a member and when I said no they couldn’t get off the phone quick enough. So in other words they were useless.

I stress none of these measures can happen without strict quarantine protocols and the COVID management plan that has allowed the AFL season to proceed.

This is another way Queensland is helping Victoria.

As everyone knows, AFL is more than a sport to Victorians. We know how they feel.

Given the choice between not having a season and having it based in Queensland, I think I know what the fans would like to happen.

It means more Queenslanders can see more games.

It’s another tick for the legacy of the Commonwealth Games and the Gold Coast’s Metricon Stadium.

It’s more fire in the belly for the Suns and the Lions.

And, as I told Gil, if the season is based here — then the Grand Final should be played here too!

Negotiations between the NRL and the Chief Health Officer are continuing.

The health and safety of Queenslanders must always come first.

I loath that woman, however she is absolutely right to milk this for all it's worth. Without QLD we have no season and she knows it.

In fairness they have done a brilliant job with the Dreamtime game and holding it in NT makes a lot of sense

All politics is local politics. Queensland is going to the polls on 31 October this year, so expect a bit more of this while she pushes Queensland's credentials in a way that allows her to take some credit for it (while she prays that there's no outbreak of Covid in Qld before then).

    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

    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
