  • 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.

sparrow needs to be a lot more of a workhorse thru midfield to feature in our top 10 i'd wager

nibbler i think is a chance, but i can't see sparrow getting a spot in our top 10 ahead of may, petracca, viney, lever, brayshaw, gawn, oliver, hunter, rivers, or pickett

pickett will be so far outside our top 10 itll be alarming imo he had a pretty sub par season. and i wouldn't have hunter or oliver near it either for form and games missed reasons respectively

How far off is the Roo? IMO has not improved this year

 Cannot   mark in a contested group and has a habit of getting where the ball ain't. As a ruckman He is a good forward

 

No idea why the above is there!

You sure you're not confusing him with young Yze? Kalani was named in the U16 All Australian team. No gaurentees to make it obviously but a pretty impressive starting point.

Perhaps you are right. Need to check!

I'd say never.

Strange call. He was All Australian this year for his age group under 16s playing key defender and ruck. He’s a giant too. Looks a serious prospect with a few years in the gym to fill out. Already taller than his old man at age 15!

Are you getting him confused with another potential father son like Yze or Brown?

We need someone who can read the chaos ball we send forward.

Naughton fits this perfectly.

Petty looks like he knows how to be a forward

+1

Our current default style of bombing it to a pack would be perfect for AN, as he'd likely come down with it half the time.

Then the rest of the time when we get it in fast and with more purpose, step up Petty/JVR/Fritsch.

Is Petty's foot ever going to heal?

Not a conspiracy theory, but doesn't his injury type need a very long rehab?

Some do, some don’t ever.  I am sure he is being closely monitored.  🤞🙏

White needs to become a CHF for us.

No pressure on the guy who isn’t eligible for drafting, and if and when he does you are asking him to play the hardest position on the ground. Yes, it would be nice.  Thanks.

Jon Ralph said if the Suns get Doggies pick 10 it will be between the Crows and Dees.

Crows have picks 21 and 24 and he says we will have picks 25 and 33. He does not mention we also will have picks Grundy and Jordan.

We could use our future 1st round and a pick or two in this draft.

The Suns will also get picks for players they trade out such as Chol and Holland so will be very interested in collecting some future picks.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    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,
