  • 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.

Carlton to get on the 'selfless' bandwagon

I loved Voss as a player but still a few questions marks as a coach. Seems a high risk situation as the Blues have some decent top end talent but there bottom end is ordinary. I would still have the Bombers, Saints and Freo ahead of them

Some here over rating Carlton’s list. Remember they can’t defend for toffee. Makes a welcome change from the “Carlton have overtaken us” posts though

Agree 100%.  Their list is very average.  Finals next year?  No way.  IF Essendon and GWS fall out I'd still have all of WCE, Richmond, and StKilda above them, maybe even Hawthorn.

I love reading about clubs supposedly copying the current Premier. When was the last time a Premier was lauded for having adopted someone else's gameplan and just executing it better? My recollection is that every Premier appears to have introduced something unique. It might be the gameplan; or it could be supreme fitness levels. What doesn't happen, though, is that one team successfully adopts another team's modus operandi.

And so it begins.

Our players will be lauded as Superstars. We will become the hunted. Everyone will want what we have and try to replicate our game plan.

A simple one two hand pass between Petracca and Oliver will be called incredible by commentators.

Salem will be lauded as the best kick in the league every time he gets the ball. Even when he missed one it will be a rare miss.

We're going to get A LOT more free kicks!

It's natural evolution that the current premier becomes the blueprint for others to copy.

As Neale Daniher says "When all is said and done, more is said than done"

Its one thing to say youre going to do it, its another to do it.

Melbourne has had a top to bottom transformation, Its bloody hard to achieve.

And another buzzword has been born. Now sit back and enjoy hearing it every second sentence for 12 months. 

Surreal that OUR team was the catalyst for the footy world's latest catch cry ... 

Love it, although you just feel the term itself will become nauseating at the behest of the Channel 7 commentary team real quick

The other word Goody threw out their towards the end of last season for the team to adopt as an ethos was 'ruthless'.  Towards the end of the home and away and as the finals series progressed, I think the team became the embodiment of ruthless, in the way we won games which will be even harder for others to emulate.

I'd be quite happy for the ruthless buzz word to be associated with the MFC.

We've gone from hopeless to selfless and ruthless. Hell yeah

Certainly is!

Wait till they do the player profiles for this year's draft prospects. We'll probably start seeing the "plays like.... " line, and it'll be one of our guys!

Jye Amiss is a tall forward who has been compared to a tall Bailey Fritsch from a few Bigfooty draft watchers!

    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.

    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. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
