  • 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.

No 45 is No 27 Aaron Neitschke 0 games and 0 goals. Done his knee at the start of the year, this is the 3rd time he's done it. Highly unlikely that he will be on the list next year.

No 43 is No 46 Austin Bradtke 0 Games and 0 Goals. Unfortunately couldn't cut as a ruckman in the VFL so was moved to CHB where he had limited success against Hogan and Buzza at VFL level. It will be touch and go whether or not he will get a contract for next season.

No 42 is No 42 Daniel Turner 0 games and 0 goals. He was a mid season rookie looked good at full back until covid hit ruining the last half of the VFL season.

No 41 is No 40 Kye Declase 0 games and 0 goals. Another mid season rookie who showed promising signs on the wing until covid hit.

No 40 is No 16 Bailey Laurie 0 games 0 goals. Injured with a fractured eye socket and then a shoulder injury which ruined his VFL season before it could get going.

No 39 is No 19 Fraser Rosman. 0 games and 0 goals. Very raw prospect who spent most of his time at VFL level on the wing.

No 38 is No 34 Deakyn Smith. 0 games 0 goals. Progressed nicely at half back and in the back pocket. A big pre season awaits.

No 34 is No 38 Mitch Brown 1 game 2 goals. Injured his ankle at VFL level a handy back up for Fritsch at AFL level. Hard to see him getting another contract due to his age.

No 30 is No 39 Neville Jetta 5 games 0 goals. Heart and soul of the club. Couldn't break into a strong backline and spent most of the time in the VFL in a position he's made his own the back pocket.

No 29 is No 26 Sam Weideman 5 games 3 goals. Really disappointing season from the Weid. Broke his leg in the pre season and never really recovered Ben Brown has taken his place. Must be on the trade table.

No 28 is No 20 Adam Tomlinson 7 games 0 goals. Switched to CHB after under performing on the wing and it paid dividends as he was a rock down back but unfortunately done his knee which ruined his season.

No 27 is No 2 Nathan Jones 8 games 2 goals. Heat and soul of the club. Got carried to 300 games but it was well deserved. Unfortunately he won't be getting a fairy tale premiership medal but he will always be in our hearts as a fan favorite.

I'll do the rest after the Grand Final. The 22 will be the 22 out on grand final day and 23 will be the medi sub 24 to 26 will be the emergencies which will more likely be Hunt, J.Smith and Melksham.

Rather than carried I would have preferred escorted, supported, or path cleared to 300 games

So out of this list, Jones retires; Weid possibly traded and question marks over Neita, Bradtke, M Brown, Baker, AVB and Chandler.

That would be 8 changes in all. I don't think we've got the trade/draft currency for that many changes. Maybe 4-5 in all I'd reckon. Jones now retired, Jetta may retire as well.  So I'd think that there may be three from the list above to leave the club. Maybe Neita, Bradtke and one of AVB or M Brown (assuming Weid stays). I think Baker and Chandler will have belting pre-seasons coming up,  having experienced this finals series and wanting to be a part of the next one, I can't see we'd trade either.

    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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
