  • 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.

I like Hunt, last few weeks have been a bit poor but he's not alone there. Couple of brain-fades last week seemingly cost him.

Think he is still capable of playing good footy when everyone fit and firing, just last few weeks the backline been impacted by injuries and Lever being a bit out of sort. 


 

A 2 disposal game doesn’t warrant selection

that was bloody unreal.  after the week we've had this is exactly what we all need.

The group is so pumped for him.  Great to see guys like Weed and Majak being so happy for him when they are out of the side. No sooking it up

I have been shocked at the development of this kid, don't be surprised if he really makes this spot his own. 

He's a very capable one on one defender but his reading of the play is very good and knows when to peel off. 

if he's come in for Adam Tommlinson it could really suggest it's going to be harder and harder for Tommo to gain a spot as a defender in this team

I suspect that Petty will be given until Monday to prove his fitness. If fit, poor old Tommo comes out. If not fit, Tommo will keep his place in the side.

Hunt was the scapegoat.  But others have been underperforming. 
BBB is lucky that Tmcd is injured and Weid is “too nice a boy”. 
Mitch Brown remains to provide some target. 

Tomlinson stays in until May is back.
Spargo lucky to stay in imv. I’d give Bedford the chance.

Good luck to disco. I hope he's replacing Tommo and not Petty.

Good selection

Would have preferred that we had debuted one or two new players in the Eagles/North weeks. Looking back I think that's where we started the slump we are now in. A bit of a "squad"mentality may have averted the unfortunate events of last weekend as well.

Big game in the context of the season

In full agreement. ☝️

Yeah. We know.

FFS.

It's more about Petty possibly being injured than the lack of form from Tommo.

Please please please don’t let this mean Petty is injured. We are holding it together by some duct tape as it is down back. 

I’m taking it as a positive that Petty was kind of jumping around in the group and getting amongst it after Turner’s debut announcement.

Turner in. Petty must be listed as highly doubtful 

Presumably it means that Turner is in for Tomlinson, who then becomes emergency in case Petty doesn't get up.

Hibberd takes Hunt's place.

Turner is listed at 192 and 194cm on his profile, any ideas what it is?

The article posted on MFC announcing his debut mentioned that he is 194cm, so I'm presuming that's his current height.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
