  • 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.

I'm sick of people just saying haphazardly "play the kids." I dont care if we are 0-21 I never want to see up stoop to the level of Carlton and Richmond and play kids for the sake of it. You pick the best team available. Richmond decided to throw in the towel last week and load up on kids, and the rest is history! :lol: Petterd has been a magnificent debutant, he is obviously up to it but others (see Garland) might not be.

I'll tell you why you pick Ward ahead of CJ. Because CJ can't get a kick in a street fight at the moment and yes, Ward provides dash, something we need against the Dogs and he played well against them last year. As for Newton, we don't need him when we have Neitz in the square, and possibly Bate and Dunn as alternative forwards. If he was a big a gun as everyone claims he's get a senior crack, and his time will come. I don't think Daniher has his favourites, he picks the best side available. I like Warnock to get another shot too, he has pace and as a defender that means he's halfway there.

The bench should be Johnson, Jones, Warnock, Pickett. Another bad performance out of Pickett and back to Sandy. Colin Sylvia would want to step up soon.

IC: Johnson, Jones, Pickett, Frawley

I think frawleys height and speed would be a plus against the doggies, and they dont have a monster forward to destroy his first game (maybe make rivers play the man, and let frawley play loose for his first game)

None of the talls on the bench will play, Rivers will get Darcy and Carroll on Johnson, the dogs don't have a third tall option up forward. Newton must of upset the coaching staff if Garland and now chip with only one quarter of Vfl reserves under his belt get considered before him. Maybe ND is hiding him to take him to his next coaching job.

yeah he provides dash, he gets the ball, runs 20-30 meters, kicks the ball straight to an opponent then DASH's back as the ball sails over his head and his direct opponent kicks an easy goal, it happens all too often, at least cj will improve if given a chance and atleast he plays tight on his opponent

ward really should only ever play if we have no one else, and i mean no one else

im praying he doesnt get a game

    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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
