  • 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.

There are so many Johnsons /Johnstons at Sandy and Melbourne. It would be mighty confusing if you were the coach. :wacko:

Another strong showing from Newton might see him get a game next week. Go Juice!

How often do they line up as named these days? Newton was selected on a hbf last week but started up forward and kicked 6 goals. Do yo want to go figure?

If Jamar performs this week i would still force him to play another game to get his confidence up.

Jamar has been a MAJOR bust for us this year. I would go as far as saying that if he cannot recapture some of the talent he has displayed on a regular basis, the dees will be looking to spend on a ruckman come seasons end.

Pressure is on him. I hope he does well.

Jamar's a dominant ruckmen in the VFL. He was already smoking them 2 or 3 years ago but hasn't developed that to the AFL standard. Maybe VFL grounds are smaller and he can use his bulk better or maybe his just a big fish in a small pond. Whatever the case, it's disappointing to see promising talent not develop.

Frawley is playing for Sandy 2's against Coburg at Frankston on Sunday. He is lining up up at CHB for probably a half or so.

Great news.

If all goes well, he'll be playing seniors in no time.

He'll probably debut in Round 9.

yes, great news to hear about frawley, but guys don't forget about neville. He was injured last season and has been in the best the last two weeks, hopefully he can make his way to the sandy seniors. It looks like he is showing some promise and he deserves a spot more than some fringe players.

Also hope that newton can kick another big bag like last week and keep his name in the best through out the season and then hopefully make his debut later on in the year if our season keeps up the way it is at the moment.

I reakon if the Dees lose this week, Daniher should ask if he can scrap his team and input the Sandringham line up....

We got nothing to lose :lol:

The Sandringham Reserves play Coburg Reserves today at Frankston (game starts in a few minutes' time) in what can only be described as a sheer farce. This is the second time this year that Sandringham reserves have played a team whose seniors have had the bye. Last time the Box Hill Hawks played Roughhead, Osborne and Thurgood. For today's game, the VFL has given Coburg permission to play the following Richmond listed players:-

Riewoldt, Kingsley, Meyer, Pattison, White, Thursfield, Moore, Howat, Polo, Krakouer, Tivendale, Edwards.

I believe the decision was brought about by the fact that Coburg seniors last played on Anzac Day and next play on Sunday 13 May. Still, pathetic programming by the VFL and it makes a joke out of its reserves competition.

I wonder how the regular Coburg reserves players feel about being treated so shabbily?

    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.

    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
