  • 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.


Breakfast with Simon Goodwin in Perth

Doesn't look it. Company page link doesn't work. Picture of Goodwin is v old. Same day is the Freo game in Perth so maybe but surely if there was a breakfast it would be organised by the club to benefit the club and its supporters in Perth not some random FB company.

It's legit.

Players, coaches and admin do these types of events all the time. It's a good extra earner for them and good marketing for the club.

So looks like this has gathered a fair crowd so far. 
For those WA ‘landers, I’ll be there and you won’t know me. 

What would you ask Goodwin if you have the chance?

Anyone wherever can pose a question. What might it be?

Very good question. 

Ask him about a correlation between training loads and our form, then call into the demonland podcast to reveal the answer to @Demonland and @binman live on air 😅

Have you ever heard a team positional/structure suggestion from a supporter/media nong that actually made sense (part 1) and you wanted to try (part 2).

 

Tipping answer is no

I'm pretty sure one of the players (Petty?) did this late in 3rd when we had the ball deep as well. Brought back good memories.

To fully replicate the 2021 GF experience, will Goody be required to get food poisoning (which is initially speculated to be COVID) which in turn could put the entire thing in doubt?

Snorbz (St Albans) Sports Club need to update the pics, especially of Rhys-Jones and McGuane. Nobody will recognise them when they walk in. 😁

Ask why he doesn’t just give the players a good ‘ol rocket. That’s the answer to all our issues according to some..

So a quick round up of last Friday mornings Brekky. 
Jackson will go in my opinion. Goodwin stated “Fremantle will pay a lot for Jacko.” Wasn’t a definite he’s going but I can’t recall Goodwin saying ‘if’. 
spoke glowingly about the group when Karl Langdon who was MC asked about. 
Goodwin spoke about the conversations he has with certain players. The below is paraphrased but accurate. 
Petracca - he has a father son relationship with where CP needs varying levels of feedback at times to suit his personality. 
Gus needs cuddles. 
Viney just wants to be hit between the eyes with any feedback regardless of praise or criticism. 
Max - “you just can’t have a sensible conversation with Max”. 😂

His first slide of his 2021 pre season ppt presentation was “Grand Final Day, how are we going to play” 

He wouldn’t disclose what this years is but reading between the lines I think it aligns to the ‘dynasty’ chain of thought and what the team can sustain and achieve if they stay together.

Hes really happy with the development of the young blokes and mentioned that they could all play in the team atm if injuries dictated it. 
Bluntly admitted his relationship with Bartlett was poor. 
Addressed Fritsch over the last couple weeks incidents. 
Lots of other things reviewed that we’ve already seen in the media such as his own revival and his mentors etc that he connected with. 
But the thing that made me the most pleased was his utmost confidence that the team issues had been addressed and that we would see that tonight (Friday).

Also picked myself up a WEG framed premiership poster signed by Goody for $225 in the auction.

Thanks for this. What did he say about the Fritsch incidents in particular?

BTW… $225 is a bargain!!

Confirmed that he was spoken to about not playing selfless team first footy. 
Did say that the last incident (think it was where he handballed to Spargo) and it didn’t result in a goal was in fact the correct thing to do which Bayley was praised for.

    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

    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.

    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
