    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.

I have 7 questions.

1) Will the new Melbourne Football Club President Kate Roffey be interviewed soon for the Demonland podcast perhaps later this season?

2) Is there a possibility of getting an interview with Head of Development Coach Mark "Choco" Williams on the Demonland podcast maybe during the bye?

3) What is the status on our new Home Ground situation? Are there any further updates?

4) How do we get Sam Weideman to take more marks and kick goals? Perhap this is a new challenge for Mark "Choco" Williams as Head of Development Coach?

5) How do the Demons players remain focused and "not drink their own bath water" for the 2nd half of the season?

6) When do we let Jake "Bluey" Bowey debut for the Demons? Should it be against Collingwood?

7) Is there still a chance of Nathan Jones breaking David Neitz's games record this year?

I’ll get my priorities sorted and listen to the podcast first, and come back to ‘On the Couch’ at a later time.

Apologies. I didn't actually see this post until after the show.

We addressed the Sam Weideman situation and we're planning on doing a Mid Season Wrap Up show during the bye so we'll cover some of your other points there.

I count 10 question marks. I demand a recount!

Just listened to this, which I have now become a fan of each week. I was at the game and my two cents worth is that I don't think you guys fully appreciated how good a win this was for the team. Frankly, I don't recall seeing a better win by the Dees! Brisbane are a very good team who were coming off 7 straight and they were fabulous in the first half. They were first to the ball, their forward line was scary with Hipwood and Daniher firing and Bailey, Cameron and McCarthy always looking like they would score when they went forward. Andrews was dominating and their midfield of Neale, Zorko and Lyons all up and about. 

That we were able to stay with them in that first half was something that no Melbourne team of the past decade or two could have done. To then come out and do what we did in the second half was nothing short of brilliant. Brisbane were gone before the end of the third quarter and by the end of the game looked like a team that simply had no answers. We took their best shot, stayed calm and played them off the park. As an old dee from way back, I have more faith now in this team than I thought was possible.

I believe @binmandid make the point that it was a testament to us to be as close as we were rather than my point of we should have been down by more.

We were all in agreement that we ran all over them in the 2nd half and by the 4th quarter they were dead on their feet.

That's ok. All good!

I listened and thought it was a great podcast as usual!

Halfway through and, as per usual, top class stuff.

I'm nodding contentedly at @binman's adoption of the Captain Jack nickname for Tom Sparrow as well. Nice.?

Imagine if he becomes Captain of the team one day. 

Tom not @binman

He then would have to change his nickname to reflect Captain Tom Moore. ??

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.

    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
