    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 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.

Would like to see TMac share the rucking duties, leaving Weid and brown forward.  TMac has the ability to go forward and back with the play, and be a link man through the middle.

Carlton fans are a despicable bunch.  I would welcome the chance to dack this bunch of pretenders.  Good pressure all day and they bust open early.  Will make the excessively priced beer taste a bit better.

I can't make it today and missing my 1st game. So everyone going barrack loudly and get our boys home. 

Looking forward to what Weid will do today. I hope Brown continues on and kicks a bag of goals and Maxy dominate the ruck. 

We want our top spot back and go 3 games clear of port and geelong. 

Bring it home boys.

Late change for us today? Slight murmur about it apparently. I don’t know more than that.

Was just watching the 2018 replay when we crushed em by 109 points.
I noticed how much our list has improved since then and noted the changes from the 22

Melbourne
IN: May, Petty, Rivers, Langdon, Jordon, Ben Brown, Pickett, Weideman, Hunt and Chandler

Out of the side: Jetta, Jones, Melksham, Viney
Out of the club: Hogan, OMac, Hannan, Lewis, Tim Smith, Vince

Carlton:
Only have Harry McKay, Patrick Cripps, Liam Jones, Lachie Plowman and Marc Murphy playing from that game in 2018

They have improved some positions by adding Walsh, Stocker, Weitering, Saad, Williams and Betts to the team

The rest, meh

Tipping Weed to have a monster game. They have to put all their energy into stopping brown and tmac and koz. 
 

this will leave weed almost free. A very different prospect to being the only guy in the fwd line and being triple teamed

Yep, I'm nervous!

Would love to see Max, Kozzie, Fritta and Trac back to their best today.

Love Clarry to show the Blues what they're missing out on.

Salem and Lever to continue their AA form.

BBB to kick six.

Chandler to show signs.

Angus to play a blinder!

Surely not.  Trac would be 'fine to play next week' according to Goody!

(Using my best sarcastic voice for the above statement).

Feeling a very solid win coming on   FWIW, the club have generally been very cautious with injuries and if there were any doubts on Petracca i think we would have rested him given we're 8-0. i'm very confident he'll play

Amazing how we never play well against them yet have won the last 5 games with them. 
 

Carlton are overrated. Predicting a fairly clinical win today.

I was thinking the same way Re a Port win, but as it's panned out, I think it was better them loosing as it could put us 3 games clear inside the top 2, which is really more important.  No real difference between finishing 1 or 2 come finals time, but 2 or 3 could mean a home Vs away final.

The closeness of the end result last night has also helped bring the dogs % back down to earth a little.

This!

I’d say Melbourne by three points as I’m not sure any team can remain ‘up’ for this long.

I'm expecting a comfortable win today - but historical trauma means I would not be surprised if we lost.

Just on your quote above @Colin B. Flaubert - I would argue that even if you win matches - it doesn't mean you're 'up' all the time. Be that the team as a whole, or individuals. 

I feel we've had 3 out of 8 wins thus far where we have been far from our best, thus not being consistently 'up' but still getting the points (it's what all very good teams do).

An 'up' win would be capitalising and kicking 70%+ of our scoring opportunities, and demolishing a team.

We haven't done that yet in 2021

Let's hope that begins today.

 

Go Dees!

Melbourne by 42. 

Kozzie to kick 5. 

Max Gawn to return to his best form and give Carlton a beard bath. 

arm wrestle in the first half, then Dees run away with it. 

Zac Williams to earn his money and get 10 touches today.

    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,

    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
