  • 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.

Ok I know not everyones into betting odds but what is the shortest a team has started in a game, we are now $1.04 

I’m not sure how this works but someone must have put money on the Eagles. We’re now at $1.30.ECB53519-AEE9-4975-B632-6D167BA85CA5.thumb.jpeg.7592510b53bb1fc5313125c24df2662e.jpeg

There is ZERO chance Spargo and Nibbler won't be in the starting 22 (unless injured of course). I'm not having a shot at you, but i honestly don't get how any dees fan who is passionate enough ab

I think that’s an error WJ, can’t find anything more than $1.06 for us.

It’s the AFL App with Sportsbet odds. Surely they can’t get such important things wrong?

If that’s from today I’d say the $1.30 would’ve been snapped up in a heartbeat.

I'd keep JJ in, what he doesn't have in burst leg speed is made up with Kossie in the midfield. 

Sparrow as sub (unlucky) and if well on top look to bring him in end of the 3rd qrt for Clarry or Trac. Or look to bring Sparrow in a way to reduce mins for Trac and Clarrie.

It wouldn’t be a real time connection which means it would be manually updated by someone.

Can’t se Hibberd getting up with a sore Achilles. I reckon Tomlinson is a chance to replace him as tall defenders will be needed to cover Oscar Allen and Darling. 

I assume he must have been able to complete full training Thursday, and Tuesday training was just a recovery stretch and walk. I also guess, any imaging of the injury must have not shown any hot spots.

If that training pattern is repeated, how will Hibbo keep fitness without a full workload?

Achilles problems are a fluctuating injury and he has been managing it for a few years now.

Could also be the selectors are playing games, but why, when West are forced to choose from the underdeveloped players.

Remember how they said they were doing Thursday teams? Has that been thrown in the trash again?

As they've done for decades, all teams are announced on Thursday but for Sunday games extended squads are named. The final 22 is trimmed on Friday, and the sub named on game-day as usual.

Tomlinson or Turner me thinks.

Turner isn't named in the squad. If Hibberd is going to be withdrawn, it will be Tomlinson.

Other than COVID, I think the only change has been the drop time, which used to be 5pm but was moved to 6.20pm to allow Channel 7 to announce the teams "first" during their news bulletin.

During COVID teams were announced the day prior, which was in part at least because we were playing games mid-week to make sure we had a complete season.

That's right. 

The Thurs games have confused things a bit for me in recent years. Seemed like yesterday's extended team was announced at 3:30-4 around the time of the presser. It's hard to tell if posts in the pre game on Thurs are actual teams or people still making predictions.

It really hasn't?

During covid it was always announced the day before. Things went back to normal last year.

It could be that the one time it changed was enough to throw me off into an alternate universe that is actually the same.

Have the times of release on the day changed Daz? With the advent of Thurs night footy at least?

I know we have a different team now however I don't ever remember the MFC winning by a " very large margin" hardtack.

74 points in a grand final will do me fine for a very large margin :D

I don’t get it… 

For me he leaves at the end of the year and I don’t blame him. Definitely deserved his spot this week

I don't blame him either and I hope for his own career sake. 

He'll be better appreciated somewhere else.

    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,

    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. 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.
