  • 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.

Looks like this could turn out OK

I feared 8-10 weeks, if he had a break

I guess the CT scan will reveal all

very very good point. i couldn't understand for the life of me why that was the case.

whelan is GONE. early in the season, damage to the head, time for a tribunal statement .. minimum 2.

WHAT! Whelan is gone for LEGITIMATE SHEPHERDING with his back to the St Kilda player. Surely, the AFL aren't going to ban shepherding from our great game. This is not basketball! What rubbish.

My daughter is a close mate of Brock's cousin. She spoke to him about 3 hours ago. He reckons, no ligament problems, CT scan tomorrow, and he'll be back in 2-3 weeks - if they don't find anything on the scan that he doesn't know about.

yea thats been said.

Well, they're doing their level best to remove just about everything else physical, so this unfortunately should not be surprising :huh: !!!

Dr Smooth from MMM has stated that Brock has been cleared of any ligiment damage. He will have a CT on monday and may only be out for 3-4 weeks.

This is great news, considering how bad it looked last night.

And thanks for the link Madness. Excellent news about Whelan :D !!!

All these onjuries are very disheartning to start the season, especally for the superstar in Brock Mclean. I hope the CT scan will clear him of major injury in the 'bones' and he will be out for only 2-3 weeks, :mellow: not 10 weeks as some commentators have said

If Wheels gets rubbed out for that bump then I will absolutely spew. It was a perfectly legitimate shepherd that just unfortunately resulted in a clash of heads. :angry:

A clash of heads certainly does hurt, I have done it, but it does not deserve a suspension, because how could he get out of it :unsure: He could not

Is there any information on Whelan and Brock?

brock does worry me alot he is soo injruy prone its not funny.

there is better news on the fitness of key defender Jared Rivers and the experienced Byron Pickett, with Demons football operations manager Chris Fagan confident both will be fit for the Easter Monday clash with Hawthorn at the MCG.

Both will need to pass fitness tests later in the week after missing the season opener with hamstring soreness while defender Matthew Whelan, who suffered neck spasms against the Saints, is also expected to be fit to face the Hawks.

    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

    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
