  • 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.

Indeed it was EO!

It's another cricket reference.  A long hop is a delivery that is short, slow and doesn't rise very high and which is easy pickings for the batsman - fruit for the sideboard, as the saying goes.

I’m putting my 20 cent piece on the edge of the billiard table, so to speak. I have a team lined up. 
Watch this space!

I could clearly see that it was divisible by 11 or 3 but was stuck on looking at it as a singular team reference to cricket...

All current players. What links them?

Backs:

Jake Lever   Stephen May   Zach Tuohy 

Christian Salem  Jarryn Geary   Caleb Daniel

Mids:

James Harmes   Max Gawn    Bailey Dale

Quinton Narkle    Dion Prestia   Jack Viney

Forwards:

Majak Daw   Jeremy Cameron   Rory Lobb

Joe Daniher   Tim English    Toby Greene

Interchange:

(from) Paddy Ryder   Dom Sheed   Shaun Higgins   Brandon Ellis   Sydney Stack  Taylor Garner   Ollie Wines

Coach: Brett Ratten 

Incidentally, this team has two things in common with this year’s AA team: (1) there’s AT LEAST seven Dees ?  and (2) it’s an on-paper team only. Ie, they’re never gonna play as a team. 
This is NOT a clue. I only mentioned it as I suspect there’ll be some posters, not mentioning names, who will be only too happy to get all up in my grill about positioning.

It's nice to have others putting up their puzzles as it gives me a chance to play.

You should be warned that I still have another ten or so of my mindbenders in the bank!

Demonstone's positioning was masterful. I copped out by just listing. Brave play WCW.

Your one is good 'un, WCW.  Quality over quantity I reckon!

There's a hint of PM-ed success there, 'stone!?

I like the PM-ing approach, as Mazer took with mine. Corollary house rule, then: the puzzler will notify us when they have correct weight/s (also means the agonising hinting ain't far away, too!?)

Is there any footy on this weekend?...

Seeing as I was wrong, I can share my incorrect answer and prevent anybody else falling for the same trap.

I thought all the players had at some stage suffered either a knee reco, a broken leg or a serious leg injury.

Looks like I haven't got a leg to stand on!

Not for the rest of us it ain't!?

I feel like a request for a clue is in the offing. I do hope it’s @Demonstone who makes the request because I am looking forward to giving him the answer he once gave me when I requested a clue. Cbf searching for his response, but I don’t need to as it’s permanently etched in my memory. Just as one always involuntarily commits to memory  anything that makes one want to throttle the person who said it. 
His answer:

“Short answer: No!

Long answer: Noooooooooo!”

Get where I’m coming from? ?

I'll save you, demonstone!

WCW - Can you confirm it's nothing to do with a) the individuals' football careers or b) football in general (I guess that's a request for 2 clues...) i.e. it's of the drummer/wicketkeeper - or some other? - category.

Yes, it has nothing to do with football. 
Or wicketkeepers. Or drummers. ?

I clued in my opening sentence. Have you clued anywhere yet?

Meanwhile, 'on-purpose' footy reference: In the absence of Demon Army and MCC members, Dees by only 4 goals tomorrow.

They are linked by the fact that none of them have anything in common… at all… in any way… nada… nothing

My opener was “all current players. What links them?”

If you can get a clue outta that you’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din. 
The above isn’t a clue. But this is…

Rory Laird was a late withdrawal; although he technically warrants a place in this squad, he was deemed too obscure. He was replaced by Quinton Narkle who fits into this side, albeit to a lesser degree than his teammates.

    It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

    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.

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

    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
