    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've come across some info suggesting there will be an open training session at Bellerive Oval 330pm.

I haven't been able to confirm through any of the normal sources. Anyone know anything about it?

There definitely is a Captain’s Run at Bellerive today. It’s an open session and it begins at either 3pm or 3:30pm. The North cheer squad told us this but aren’t sure about the starting time, so getting there at 3pm is probs wisest.

Didn't make it to training, but did bump into a few Dees supporters at a wine tasting on the Derwent.  Our supporters also seemed in force at Salamanca markets this morning!  I can report on general good spirits!

Now that's just asking for a hangover.

So we did adventure around to Bellerive at 330 and watched the boys run around for about an hour. When we arrived the Nort side were just finishing up. They would have had 20 supporters vs our 400.

It was a bit of the standard drills with emphasis on the turnover, contest and transition parts of the game. Goody was very vocal and driving a lot of the drills. At one stage he was shouting at the backs regarding their positioning and I really noticed how May is really pressing high and Lever is patrolling across the last line. I think this use to be Petty's role but Lever is the obvious choice now as he reads the play so well. In a one hour session I was pleasantly surprised about the emphasis placed on goal kicking. For those who have suggested Bowey should be used more forward I can say he is  certainly practicing that part of his game. I can see it being something we will develop and it might be a plan C at some stage that will surprise many.

The best thing I can say about this one hour is; they looked sharp, focused and relaxed, all at the same time. That might not seem to make sense but they looked super confident and the laughter and fun they showed at the end said more to me than anything.

    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.
