  • 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.

Tmac (running and kicking), K.Turner in boots, must be closer, are only two in rehab.

Plenty of noise as they get into their full field drills. They started with the fundamentals being loose, but have worked well into building up the standards.

Clarry running hard.

I can't see Hibbo, (I've had that problem before).

Two station drills, both start with stoppages and competition.

Two groups in the central bounce area, forcing turnovers, then delivering into the forward set up, after they go the second group then delivers. Makes the forwards look for the second quick entry. Stafford down in with them, and is having discussions of what he wants to see.

The other station is much simpler. Two separate groups near the wings 50 arc, with handball competition then go for goal with a spread after the whistle.

Williams takes the next drill after some instructions, they head to to goal area. Ground ball gets from, up, low, and pressure, snaps. The energy is high as they move to set shots they rotated through the 4 different stations, then back to the snaps again, and then more sets.

The clubs administrators have gathered in numbers. It is a sea of red and blue at the shed.

Pert and Richardson did the talking. Presentations and awards to the admin was the purpose. 

They finish up with some sprints (not extensive) and some laps.

I saw the session. Kev did a great job with his write up. Based on what I saw of Clayton, if he doesn’t play in 6 days time there is something sinister going on. Jack Viney was definitely at trai

Thanks Kev. Always appreciate your efforts...to go, and to report. Cheers.

I am dead curious what this foward drill/setup is.

Now some may think that's a purely dismissive/derogatory enquiry..  But I'm genuinely interested.  Is there something we actually train?..   only to not happen ?

We do actually have pattern drills ?? 

Thanks again Kev 👍

There were 6 players, 3 on 3. At first the delivery was over the back, then they did lateral leads and finished with straight leads. Perhaps the two balls coming in was meant to create repeated movements.

Most of the things they do on the track appear to have some purpose.

Clarry and Bowey last out the track having a kick to kick.

Appears to be carrying his leg a little (Clarry), though lots of them have the funny kind of gait.

Petty was hanging out with the backline men.

Out of further interest... were there particular players delivering to those leads ?

Because of the rotations through the stations, they all had a chance to hit "it". The forward set up remained the same for both sets of groups.

Would that suggest BBB is on his way back in and the Petty up forward experiment is dead in the water?

BBB was training well within the group, did everything. He previously had his own program. 

My guess, Petty would be primarily back, though will be used as a swing man.

Did you see them loading? :)

No obvious signs of loading, when running they were not being pushed too hard or long. The session seemed to be more about clearance at stoppages, and goal kicking.

Thanks Kev and all posters sounds like the troops are in better spirits than the rest of us, injury wise we are now in a great place although JV is a concern. Hopefully training at Casey on Wednesday won’t be to torrid as the trip to and from Alice is a bit of an effort.

Do you mean more than other interstate trips? If so, in what way? For example, is it not a direct flight?

Petty was very good up forward in his last match before injury. We will definitely see him there again at some stage.

    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,

    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
