  • 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.

Routine scan. Would’ve been pre-scheduled for this morning regardless of how he got on yesterday. They scanned it to check everything: plates, screws etc.

Does that mean we need a precautionary whisky

FIVE DOGS?

This makes me nervous. Remember that time Petracca broke his toe tripping over his dog while playing basketball?

Or the OTHER time his dog bit him and he nearly lost a finger?

Or that time Stephen Tingay walked through a glass door... Ok that one had nothing to do with dogs. 😂

So no updates today!

Is it a case of no news is good news, or no news is good news?

Which may be interpreted either as the absence of news is good news, or there is no such thing as good news 🙄

Are we playing mind games with Collingwood?

They have been saying that N Daicos is a chance to play next week.

I believe so. I can’t imagine Clint (Stanaway) would tweet something so “secretive” when everyone knows his dad works closely with the players, and expect to go unnoticed. This begs the question… won’t Collingwood know they’re related and therefore know this is subterfuge? Who knows. That’s my take on it, anyways.

This time next week the Fritatta will be looking to kick a hatful again, as @layzie would say. 😁👍🏽❤️💙

Invisible moonboots are the latest technology in recovery from goal poisoning. 

Or are they moonboots of invisibility?

Could be a hand piece of kit on match day.

Are we playing games with the Woodies...  oh i hope so..

Please please please play Daicos.. 

1) shows panic

2) way underdone...still capable..but limited

3) a fitter player wont play as result.

Daicos playing would say to me.... you ( Melb) have us on toast....this is our Hail Mary.

Will they ?.  Doubt it

They play Cox at their peril also.

This is finals baby !!!!!

Bloody hell moon boot not training.   Hopefully just precaution.  Maybe late out next week. Good news if win another weeks test for him.    Hard to see us winning without him.   I hope Grundy is sub. 

If Fritta is a late out next week it will be due to something that happens between now and next Thursday. Other than that, he’s absolutely fine to play.

JUST IN - Expect to see Demon Bayley Fritsch in a moonboot for at least the rest of this week. Scans have revealed no damage to his previously injured foot, but there is bruising, so he won’t train until next week. The club fully expect him to tackle Collingwood
 
I'm assuming he'll join in training next week. Rest it up. That foot needs to kick a lot of goals and hopefully he only needs 3 games to do it in.

Couldn’t think of a worse sub than Grundy 

Really? I don't think KFW is quite ready for the big time yet but give him a few years. But if you'd prefer him on Thursday night then good luck!

“Racing the clock” LOL. Poor old channel 9… got nothing but need to keep their viewers interested.

Nothing has changed… Fritta will play on Thursday. And if his mood has anything to do with it, he’ll play very, very well. Rest assured.

    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
