    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.

Is there a rule that says the players listed in the published positions on the field must be part of the final squad?   In other words can say Oliver be left out of the final squad and 5 of the so called interchange are then included instead of 4.

i think teams playing on sunday who are forced to nominate a team on thursday have a bit more leeway for changes

our team tonight would have more stringent conditions

Jack Viney is a huge loss. His form has been fantastic and complements Trac and Clarrie perfectly. It will be interesting to see how they adjust.

He is better than that and his Form at Casey has been solid if unspectacular. Sometimes players who can play do not shine in lower levels. I expect Dunstan to be very solid and link up well taking Vin

Bedford ran and went in really hard last week. He should come in if needed.

He's been quiet in all the VFL games he's played this year.

It's a joke that he's even under consideration.

Melksham had a pretty good game actually. These were his numbers (thanks KC):

  • Jake Melksham: 1 behind 12 kicks 9 handballs 21 disposals 8 marks 4 tackles 80 dream team points

They are pretty good numbers, and the coaching staff would be rapt with 4 tackles as the defensive stuff is his big weakness. 

For comparison purposes here are Dunstan's numbers:

  • Luke Dunstan 1 goal 11 kicks 10 handballs 21 disposals 3 marks 3 tackles 81 dream team points

I only really watched the first quarter (and bits an pieces of other qs) and thought he played really well in that quarter. He was our leading possession winner at the end of it, with 8 possessions, his intensity was pretty good, he was very team orientated, and his skills in super windy conditions were sublime. he looked a class above VFL level. 

It's why i predicted, accurately as it turns out, he would be on the extended interchange list this week - though i very much doubt he will be selected.

The fact he has been selected on on the extended interchange list this week should be read as affirmation by Goody that he is well and truly on the right track. I think there is a pretty good chance, if he keeps on that track, he'll get call up to the seniors at some point.

We need a vote from all Demonlanders on whether we should auction or go to private sale for the Weridee Mansion!

Proceeds to Demonland to spend on new servers, then acquire a venue for Demonland social club, that can be loaned to MFC!

TMac obviously picked to play Pickett fast running elusive forward flank role, can just see him zipping in and under picking up all Weids  crumbs, and kicking 8!

Can we hold of coz I now can put four Green Townhouses on it., Wait... no I got enough money to plonk a Red Hotel on it straight away and charge anyone who lands on it TOP DOLLAR. Just one question Werridee, what color street should I designate your house on the DEMONOPOLY BOARD?? I can reveal that Uncle Bitter thinks his Manor the Equivalent of Mayfair, but I remain just a tad skeptical! I am Uh also interested in selling a Magnificent parcel of land right on Casey Feilds. In fact it is the same spot behind the fence that I do my training reports from. It would be designated as Old Kent Rd on the DEEMONOPOLY board but I'll take an offer!?

Maybe he is playing a defined role that he will replicate in the seniors?

No he shouldn’t. He is an established senior player who was a performer in a premiership 6 games ago. I don’t know why you are so obtuse and naive with Brown.

Correct so the inters will be Harmes, Jacko, Sparrow and JJ with DUNSTAN to be medi sub!

If the 18 selected are locks for a game and if Dunstan is in as iterated then this bench plus Sub is viable, although I would have thought that Kossy who was brilliant last week stays, Jacko is a given, J.J Played a blinder game before last and Sparrow solid. I now think that if Dunstan is in Sparrow might revert to super medi Sub!

BBB plays. I have a reliable source.

And so he should. He is an incredibly talented player who North lost their minds and let go.

He has also added contested marking to his game and no longer needs to always lead into space to mark. 

Last year we saw him come close to what made him top the H and A goal scoring 3 years in a row in a bottom team.

I also think he will get better and we may get another six years out of him and perhaps with our great midfield he will win a Coleman in the not too distant future.

7 pages in, different starting 18 on the AFL website and MFC website, and we won't really know till 5PM.

Much as all basketball matches should start at 90 all and 2 minutes to go, I'm starting to think selections threads should start on the day the real team is released with only hours to go.

Having watched those VFL games he's played he's cooked mate.

Fumbles, got caught with the ball at times and lazy with his defensive ability. 

The likes of Chandler, Bedford, Laurie are ahead of him in terms of forms from the VFL games I've seen.

If Dunstan is playing another player is out of the side the bloke said he is playing he will be in the 22 I doubt he will be the sub as most subs don’t play like Bedford who has played 1 out of 5

Agree Bedford is ahead of him, as evidenced by the fact he is the go to medi sub.

But you'd have to think he is ahead of Laurie and Chandler as evidenced by the fact he was in the emergencies two weeks ago and will also be an emergency this week.

As far as I recall neither Laurie or Chandler have been emergencies.

No way goody names him on the extended bench this week if he has been playing as badly as you make out.

    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
