  • 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.

In good news Salem and Fritsch completed the whole session.  They both moved and trained very well.

Viney off to the side with mainly agility and lap running at a good pace.

It was a light craft session.

Mids/rucks doing centre bounce stoppage work.

Inside 50 delivery was extensively practised with defenders v forwards.  There's an emphasis on either hitting up one of multiple leading targets OR taking a longer option with a deeper kick where the forward has got themself in good position behind the defender.

There was some 3/4 ground match simulation that wasn't too intense or too long.

I didn't notice Woewodin, but I might have missed him.

May did not train.

I didn’t notice any smiles on the training gallery on 27th March did anyone get to Gosh’s on Monday or intend attending todays session so we know who is in rehab. This weeks list came as a bit of a surprise as it appears Will Verral and to a lesser degree Christian Salem won’t see to much action this year.!!

Didn't get to Gosch's Monday or today. 

I heard on some type of media that they trained on Tuesday and intend to have the main training Thursday. Whether it is at Casey or Gosch's anyone's guess.

Nothing on the website about open trainings.

Looks like an in club easter party for players, down at Gosch's. 

It may start at 12. Easter eggs all over half the paddock, with plenty of the players family around.

A light session makes sense, I think they caught 'the red eye' back from WA on Sunday night.

Four players at the Easter party. 

Lever, walking around without any limp or restrictions. 

BBB and Viney, and then Melksham, whose kid led the rest to those chocky's. Sign him up, has competitiveness written all over him. A kid, with number 5 on his back came a close second.

Good atmosphere, 30 kids, some admin, trainers, partners, and a table of nibbles.

The players left fairly quickly, probably to get into the days footy preparation and routine.

Noticed the media, who were at the Dee's training today, carried stories about us tonight.

They won't get over to Casey at the main training (too far to travel), and will cover other clubs.

The sports news stories about us later in the week, have used some stock video this season. A good chance they will use today's footage when/if presenting a story about us, later.

Means we have less outside scrutiny, keep 'em (and us) guessing

If demonlander's hear of training sessions, could you please post about it.

I know today was about the club celebrating those with 10+ years of continual membership, but!

School holidays and stuff, others wouldn't have interfered. 

Given how many attended today, maybe >200, and nothing about it on this social network site, I am disappointed. 

Did the email suggest you shouldn't inform others, or do those with the email feel special?  Good to develop division amongst the supporters. 

Covid interfered with my sequence of membership (trapped outside of Oz). I have supported the club since I was 12, making 50 years of loyal support (though not always a member). I am sure there are plenty on here who feel the same way.

Why not be informative?

@Tim, @DemonWheels, @old dee, @old55, @layzie, @pitmaster, @Bimbo, @sisso, @tiers, @Demons1858, @Demonland, @Hawk the Demon.

Does anyone have an answer to why you didn't nform this site and myself about the training today?

At the moment, I feel taken for granted. I need support, otherwise I will not post and you can get reports from another.

I turned up today with guess work and uncertainty. That could have been totally different, a little heads up would be appreciated.

Its a shame you missed out 'kev'.

We love your work and that you tirelessly turn up at Gosch's just in case there is a session.  I suspect most of DL's feel the same

Your training reports are one of my favourite parts of DL.

Thank you.

First I heard about an invite to training for long term members was just now. And I have 25 plus,   Maybe it was selective !

The email came on April 6 along with other MFC emails.

I missed it at first as Inbox was inundated with various other emails.

My gut feel is it was for 10+ years 'consecutive" members only.

If so that would be pretty sad i reckon

I have at least 35+ years of memberships (plus all the other side gigs like sponsoring a win / raffles / merch etc) in total so far outside of barracking time of 50+

I'd have at least 6 to 8 years of DA memberships now as well (no mention of this day in their emails either).

No doubt others would have even more than that (non-consecutive).

Hope this doesn't stop you from attending and reporting Kevie. 

Your training reports are hugely appreciate from interstate supports such as myself.

    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

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
