  • 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.

Would be great to discuss how many B&F Clarry will win when he is done playing footy... 😲 I am continuously gobsmacked and in awe when I see him play. 

Top 5 MFC players all time?

We'll be talking about him tonight.

Probably #1. Definitely will be once his career is over.

He's special.  Leading the AFLCA MVP again too, despite Gawn and Trac also getting plenty of votes.

He's just like a big kid playing at his local footy club, you can see how he enjoys every single time he is out there hurting people and grabbing the pill.

Has there ever been any back to back champion player of the year?

Gary Ablett won 3 years running 2007-09.  That's it.

Goody won in 2006 😀

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the Demonland podcast is the best, most measured analysis anywhere.

Thank you very kind of you to say. We do put a lot of preparation into it so it's nice to hear some positive feedback like this.

If you can we'd really appreciate a positive review on Apple Podcasts. Positive reviews and feedback will help us grow the audience particularly because it is a niche subject.

More than happy to do this Andy, but as my user name suggests, I'm old (verging on ancient!).  You are talking different language to me, but if you send me a link, I can probably find the right place to leave feedback.

Do you own and iPhone? If so all you need to do is download the Apple Podcast app from the App Store. It looks like this.

Apple Podcasts Continues to Be Plagued by Technical Issues

Once in  the App search for Demonland Podcast. You will see our red logo with the Demon head inside the Premiership Cup. Click on it and then proceed to scroll until you see the section for Ratings and Review. Tap the 5 Stars (or what ever rating you want to give but give us 5 stars please 😜) . Also leave a written review in the space provided if possible.

If you don't have an iPhone then I'm sure there is an Android phone equivalent but I have no idea what you do on that platform or even if the Android podcasting app has that ability.

I am Android Andy and never had a problem tuning in either live or after the event. Apple too expensive for me, strange isn't it I bought my GD a phone just recently and it is apple. My wife now says she has a phone that is dearer than both our phones put together.

Thanks guys. With my ongoing issues of insomnia (not related to my MFCSS, I promise), I really appreciate these podcasts - more than ever! Appreciate the general positivity of the Dees outlook too. Although, having said that, if our decline continues, I hold you all responsible.

Any positivity detected from me is a symptom of the first stage of MFCSS which is denial.

Great podcast fellas. Some fantastic insights and while I don’t always agree with everything, I can always see the reasoning as it’s well explained. 
 

Measured, considered and articulate. Really appreciate the effort and makes my drive home much more interesting. Thanks for the pod.

Rivers to the wing. That's an interesting one @binman. All depends on his tank. I'd like to see him roll through the centre square too.

As for lack of pressure, would love to know what our post clearance pressure numbers are like, because this would explain why we're so high for intercepts and how our defensive system still strangled teams in the first 10 rounds.

And gee whiz. Oliver runs our midfield, @binman. Petracca wouldn't get it half the time if Oliver wasn't giving it to him. Petracca has dynamic moments and could turn a GF as we've seen, but over the four quarters I'd have Oliver, but love Trac too. 😜

My thoughts exactly.

Oliver is the quiet hard worker, Petracca the flash and dash.

You rarely see Oliver MIA in a game, even in his "worst" performances.

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    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
