  • 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.

Nothing to fear from Carlton's changes: Out: Jack Newnes, Michael Gibbons, Jack Silvagni In: Marc Murphy, Will Setterfield, Nic Newman.  Cripps will probably put in a blinder as he did

I like it. Added some speed and tackling pressure to balance out the additional tall. Melks can't really have any complaints. He's been serviceable but nothing more.

Melksham out and Chandler in is a good move. About bloody time.

Agree. He has shown enough at Casey for his chance. 
 

Jake might have had a tough week with the newborn coming home.  Might be a chance for him to get 2 hours sleep on the bench. ??

Really exciting day for us tomorrow. Get to see the forward line we’ve been trying to build for a few years. I also think the weather will hold out which will make it easier for us to evaluate the dynamics of our forward structures.

I really hope Chandler takes his chance. That will help the balance of our list and set the standard for work rate for our forwards.

The mail I have is Trac will not play tomorrow.

 

If that is the case Mitch & Maj played a full game today.  Do players ever back up from the VFL the next day in the seniors? 

Normally Mitch would be an auto in here if he didn't play today surely.

Huh? Why would we bring in Mitch Brown for Petracca?

Melksham would be the obvious choice should that be needed.

Uhm where is the vomit emoji?!

Not sure why people are happy Melk has been dropped, while I don’t see what others “have” this season he’s still one of us. Hopefully he can go back and find his game again! Or is it more a self congratulatory high 5 to yourself…

I realize that but if Petracca is unable to play tomorrow they would have known before today and made sparrow an emergency

Sorry, thought we were dealing in the current realities; not taking your opinion as fact. As you were.

I doubt most are happy as such Cards.  Melk is a fringe 22 player so he needs to up the ante' to maintain his place.

There's always going to be a bottom 6 or so in a similar position who are fighting to do so.

Opportunities sometimes then occasionally arise for fringe players waiting their turn at VFL level to step up and see what they can do, provided they've earned it of.course.

Provided There's quality depth coming from underneath i would think this is a healthy thing all round.  Player in waiting gets a chance to perform and some experience at the highest level.  Coaches get to see whether he can play the role being asked and where he's at. 

I see this as a very healthy situation.

Compare this to the alternative of a bottom 6 or less, say 2, 3 or more under-performing and/or few injuries and no one coming through to take their place.  I know which position i'd rather be in as a club/FD/coach.

Sorry I should have said the self congratulatory group. 
 

Can’t wait for tomorrow, after tonight the Dees need to step it up again, Togs not done, Dogs are top of the pops.

A long way to go ...plenty can happen.  Fingers & toes crossed every week from here.  Luck plays a fair role also.

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    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,
