    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.

MELBOURNE'S horror run of injuries could ease this week, with captain David Neitz "some chance" to return for Saturday's AFL match against Sydney.

Neitz suffered a knee injury during the round-two loss to Hawthorn and is listed as a test for this weekend's away match against Sydney.

Brent Moloney (groin), Travis Johnstone (hamstring), Daniel Bell (concussion), Paul Wheatley (shoulder), Nathan Brown (calf) and Jared Rivers (hamstring) also are rated as tests for the Swans game.

Melbourne

One of the toughest men alive and a real leader of men is our captain. Missing 2 games with a medial strain is unheard of I am sure. He would be desperate to get out there and help out his embattled team mates. But for the sake of his career and the team I hope they give him at least one more week to rest up.

Save Neitz for round 6 V Port.

We should also have Moloney, TJ and Rivers back for Port. Also by that stage Pickett and Sylvia would have had 2 solid games under their belt.

Provided we have a solid crack this week and keep the margin respectable, I really believe we can open our account against Port.

can we make the finals from 0-5? i think we showed last year we were good enough to mix it with the best at full strength. maybe 0-5 and we have the team back on track, we'd need to win 12 from 17...possible with a rich vein of form. probably not with the number of interstate games we have to play.

regarding neitz, i dont think we play him til he's right. i dont think we should be playing any injured players atm. we're not gonna finish high on the ladder, and we have so many players out that playing a payer or two who are carrying injuries isnt going to get us just over the line but could result in longer term injuries. get games into the kids. we're not gonna win anyway so who cares?

So, looking at this list we could be nearing full strength by Round 7.... Of course Robbo and Barts will be a little later....

If we can somehow manage a win in the next 2 weeks we are some chance to shake things up come the latter part of the season!

For some strange reason I think we may have a real chance against the Swans this week.... I know it sounds ridiculous, but we have a decent record at the SCG and maybe the smaller ground will reduce the chance of a blowout! They will play a tight, contested game and I am willing to bet that we lose by no more than 3 goals...

Call me stupid but I have a strange feeling in my guts! Could we possibly open our 2007 account against the Swans?!?!?!

I think we can

We are that type of team

After this week, the cavalry will come rolling in - Neitz, TJ, Beamer, Moloney, RIvers, mclean etc...

They will all be underdone, but we cant win without them

I'll be mighty [censored] off if they risk anyone who is not 110% fit.

One more week will not make any difference in the long run, especially if these players are at risk of re-injuring themselves.

I doubt very much they'll play Neita before Round 7.

    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.

    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
