  • 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.

You don't believe any of the stuff in injury reports do you?

No, but I don't think there is a sinister plot behind them changing.  Can you think of any reason beyond the natural uncertainties in injuries and recovery setbacks with maybe a soupcon of wishful thinking to keep spirits up?  And maybe sometimes trying to keep future opponents guessing.

Brown Brown the last 3 weeks

4-6 weeks

5-7 weeks

3-5 weeks

 

Medics give their best estimate each week. Sometimes setbacks, sometimes quicker than expected recovery. Not all injuries have a linear recovery period like a standard hammy strain.

From reading them over the years it appears to me that keeping the spirits up is the number one item. They really don't know most of the time so 3-4 gets trotted out ( keeps the fans happy ) when we all know it is probably 426. And when you see 426 stay that way for a few weeks you know it was 10-12 in the first place. If Brown plays before July I will amazed.

pardon my skepticism but I'm not buying that Brayshaw is ok. Either the reporter is making his own call here or he has asked a club official at training that they've just said "she'll be right". Given the recent history Gus will need to get a scan before being cleared as ok not just a quick looksee in the rooms by the medicos. I would watch this space and take lots of grains of salt.

We only now found out that Harmes had surgery via the press and have still not had anything official from the club.

Once again poor communication to members in regards to injuries.

They will play him vs the Saints and his foot will fall apart.

Do you think he will be ready come finals time? It would be good to have both he and Weid ready by then.

Unless they are ready before then well  Brown anyway I have doubts we will make finals.

How crap is the MFC website!? Burgo gives the injury report, quite obviously wasn’t going to talk about Harmes until word got out and then they inserted a section which talks about him. Typical of the website – keep the supporters completely in the dark if they possibly can.

Nick Smith.

Nick Smith, had to feel for this guy just couldn't get a run at it.  Luke Molan, Aaron Rodgers, Mitch Clarke, Chris Dawes, Jesse Hogan really every key forward we have drafted/traded in since 2001 falls into the 426 category,

Maybe they want to keep the Saints guessing for as long as possible. Not the end of the world is it?

    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
