    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.

Viney to play VFL by all accounts, can’t see Hib or Melk rushed back either.  They might be ‘fit’ but are they ‘right’?

great news re Lockhart - 2 to 3 weeks.

crap news re Brown and Weids - look r6 or r7 before we see these guys.  Both running though.

Jayden Hunt is progressing far quicker than anticipated and will commence running tomorrow.

Seems pretty decent news. Gus & Petty seem the only ones a bit behind (as expected). Plus, a good sign they'll get into some actual footy work pretty early.

This must be Vanders first pre-season in about 4 years not starting in the rehab group. Hopefully he and Nietschke will have uninterrupted pre-seasons this time around.

I thought Hibberd's 2020 was average.  That aside, imv others offer more this year so we can cover him with the players I mentioned.  

My insight on J. Smith is he is listed as 'Test' in the table earlier in this thread.  Round 1 is about 3 weeks after the injury so 'Test' looks about right for him.

Bowey is one I suggested in my post.

One has to look at 2020 form and Hibbo does not deserve to be dropped for that at all in fact he was one of our very good defenders along with May Saleme late in year and Rivers in the last 5 games. Think of what happened this time last year as he mourned his brothers loss. Very courageous effort in 2020 and IMO let no one down.

Although  injured Up to now he has played 1 and a half games last week in best 3 so firm good on both areas.

Contrast  this with Melky who had poor seasons in both 2019 ( injury also) and 2020 and has hardly played a quarter so far. 
Who should or deserves to replace Hibbo LC? 
We have to be careful that we don't go too tall for Fyfe and Taberner vs Freo.

I wasn't disparaging Hibberd. 

I think his courage and committment last after losing his brother was enormous.  All credit to him for the year he had.

Not sure I want to go around in circles about our respective views of his 2020 season and where he fits into the team this year so I'll leave it at that.

I just feel he is right at the end of his career and I think the one year contract shows  that.

More to say I think we have gone past him and his weaknesses,

He's cooked. 

I think he'll faze out of the team Bernie Vince style.

Normal for over 30  year olds but he is totally different from Nev who is in fast pace decline sadly.

There’s enough quality with enough training for it to be no excuse. Brown and Weideman are really the only 2 injuries 

Funny a guy who has never even played a game not even a practise game  for us is missed.

Certainly can't make excuses this week as the Dockers have more injuries than we do

Yes they do and I won't be making any excuses.

The problem is we have a few best 22 players getting some minutes for Casey such as Viney, Melksham and Hibberd which does not help us at all come tomorrow. 

Hoepfully next week Vs St Kilda we can add at least 2 of those 3 names into the side.

In Melkshams form last year he is nowhere near the intensity and skill for a senior birth without earning it.

Early prognosis

It was a good week on the injury front for the Demons, with Hibberd (ankle), Melksham (hamstring) and Viney (foot) all making it through a VFL practice match unscathed. Their impending availability adds to the clean bill of health that the side enjoyed following Saturday's win over the Dockers. - Riley Beveridge

    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.

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
