    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.

I'm going to have to cut the questions off here. Putting all the notes together and I can tell it's going to be another long one.

One day you'll need a 12 hour special.. let's hope it's after and before this year's GF 😁.

Sorry boys I know it’s too late but I can’t resist asking if you’re now onboard with my thoughts re pulling trigger late vs Lions and the power of it — do you now see it? Do you now blv? Loved Hoyne (who’s the best in business) also agreeing Lions played some of best footy seen Ala kicking in that Qtr 2-3 being supported statistically & we just had to ride through it.
 

Proud of our coaching group, let’s hope it’s wasn’t pulled too early, the Petty move is one I’ve always been HUGE on & couldn’t be happier to see come to fruition, it’s been staring us in face since Lions game last year, and it’s been clear as day it’s what we needed with HP hands & movement, it not only makes him dangerous but brings our smalls in and most of all his VOICE & Comms is essential and when Fritta comes back boy are we gonna be dangerous. They made the necessary adjustments & Grundy was a HIGE call no matter how you slice it, took BALLS of steel and it’s not necessarily over for him but it is now a 4-1 shot he returns in the scheme of it but things change often & thus it’s not mute by any stretch & I expect him to give Max a rest soon & then maybe be a potential decoy/double bluff option come finals where big bodies with skill MATTER & as a resting big Taking 4th defender for 2-3m a qtr, my WORD he could be handy & that’s how it was meant to work Ala preseason,  it personnel changed & meant resting ruck was taking 2nd/3rd best defender instead, entirely diff proposition.  Final thought on that — Grundy coming back when Fritta does so he’s resting as 4th tall is now 💯 on, even if 4-1 it’s 4-1 each week for 8wks meaning it’s likely at some stage remember that!!! But the real masterstroke is having a FRESH Max thanks to Brodie being there (never forget that should he not ever play again this year, but he will play next year this is Max’s swan song if he plays solo ruck, he WONT be doing it next year no way in hell) and a fresh CLARRY thanks to circumstance and mgmt! Our balk movement was 💯 put away post r4/5 & was always coming back — strap in fellas it’s gonna be a much tighter ride than 2021 but as a result the potential reward will mean it might feel even better (cus in shootouts, we’re not gonna see blowouts, we’re gonna need to come from behind a lot & have others come to us Ala crows but we might just end up 1-16pts in front & that’s the key. Suddenly ppl outside of Demonland realise Max is so far the best player and immovable object in comp it’s not even close let alone best Ruck, but they have forgotten that a fit Clarry might just be his equal!
 

CANNOT wait — love your work this podcast is building and mainstream media muppets are just starting to cotton on despite what we have to still come back, so pumped!

Great show this week guys. The two and half hours flew by on my commute from London to Frankfurt and back for work. 

A big thank you on behalf of those half a world away with no other source of Demon-centric analysis. 

Love the new logo too. 

Thank you.

If you ever want a way to listen to the pod in one sitting, decide one night to drive home through Swan St past AAMI Park and Rod Laver. I reckon I was in that precinct alone for 45 mins bumper to bumper. 

That will still take you 3 days of that. 🤣

Took a nice chunk out of it though! The whole trip took nearly an hour and a half and finished it up at home making dinner. Usually I end up with an hour of rope left and roll over to the next day!

Fine pod again, boys. Excuse me if I missed something, but are the three (obviously handsome) caricatures on the web page header ‘actual’ representations of you three?

George and I are representations of us. Although my wife says I look better as a caricature. Binman might be mistaken for his Demonland avatar.

I’ll just take it Andy that you do resemble a youthful reverse-eyebrowed Mr. Spock, and George a wiser version of Harry Beitzel? Presuming also that binman’s Garry Baker-alike, all shimmering hair and beard, is just wishful thinking?

Caricatures do take 10 years off so I'll take that. I also submitted a photo from 2021 when I was quite a few KGs lighter so I actually fit into that guernsey I'm wearing.

Another outstanding podcast from the Demonland Podcast crew. Thank you.

It is very evident that a lot of time and hard work goes in to the preparation of the show each week and I just want you to know that all that effort is greatly appreciated by this Dees fan.

I have left a 5 Star Review for you boys on APPLE. It's the least I can do for a podcast that is now a staple of my footy week. Go Demons.

Great show. One knock on effect of Goodies innovation and squad mentality this year (plus the inclusion of listener questions) is that there’s more to discuss and thus the podcast is now regularly 2+ hours - I’m happy with that, keeping me distracted for either two workouts or three dish washing assignments. Thanks for all your efforts and insights 👍

    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,
