  • 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.

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.

I agree I think we will make the minimum of changes. Jetta and Jones to retire and Weid traded. The rookies Mitch Brown will retire and Neitschke will get the chop and Declase and Turner will take their place. I think that's how it works otherwise they would be getting 2 new rookies every season. Bradtke to also get the chop.

No 26 is controversially No 44 Joel Smith 3 games 0 goals thought he would be emergency but he's not so he is probably No 32 and the rest go up 1. Injury prone all year doing his medial but broke into the team late in the year only to hurt his hamstring forcing him out of the last 2 finals.

No 25 is No 18 Jake Melksham 12 games 8 goals. Found it really hard to get a game once Viney came back from injury.

No 24 is No 29 Jayden Hunt 20 games 2 goals. The hard luck story of the team. Injured late in the year and couldn't regain his spot in the team due to Hibberd's form.

No 23 is No 23 James Jordon 25 games 6 goals. Had an impressive season but eventually lost his spot to Sparrow.

No 22 is No 32 Tom Sparrow 21 games 7 goals. In and out of the side until near the end of the season where he finally cemented his spot.

No 19 is No 6 Luke Jackson 24 games 16 goals. Rising Star winner and I think the second best ruck going around.

No 18 is No 14 Michael Hibberd 17 games 0 goals Struggled for form at the end of the year but due to Joel Smith's injury got a reprieve and held his spot for the grand final.

13 is No 30 Alex Neal-Bullen 25 games 15 goals. Was on the trade table at the start of the year and turned it around to become one of the best half forwards in the game.

12 is No 36 Kysaiah Pickett 25 games 40 goals Electrifying all year unlucky not to get goal of the year. Poor grand final but he can't play well every game.

11 is No 25 Tom McDonald 23 games 33 goals. On the scrap heap at the start of the year but a new diet and fitness regime turn his season around.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
