    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 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.

Re Harrison staying or going, what do we make of the last part of Jacob's last response in this?...

What I got from that is that Jacob is a great kid. He's got the right attitude and the raw talent that, with time and development, will see him become one of the best KPF's in the game.

It's great that he'd love to play with Petty, but I have a feeling he will make it work with whoever he partners up forward in the years ahead.

I'm not sure how much we can actually take from it , but I certainly loved hearing it.
It tells me that JVR certainly has the right attitude, and that can only be beneficial in respect to any influence any teammates MAY have on his eventual decision.

I’ll start by saying that I hope Petty stays with us. However, the reality is that he has not been successful as a forward. In the 16 games he’s played since his bag of 6 a year ago he’s booted a total of 5 goals ie an average of one goal every three games. 
Yes, he has been subbed off in two games and has played in defence at least once, 
His best game this year was against the Hawks where he played in defence.

We need another tall forward to support JvR. BBB is not performing and IMO is unlikely to last the season. 
I’d try Disco or Fullerton forward. Not sure whose place Petty takes if he goes back. 

His versatility would make him a good sub. Just sayin’

 

I'm really surprised by those stats. I didn't think he'd played fwd that much. There not flattering performances.

My mistake. Petty played primarily in the backline following the ANZAC game last year.

I thought something was nqr with those.

I think he'll be alright as a fwd. He's certainly showing signs of not having a good pre season.

Hell come good. Pretty sure you don't fluke bags of six . He's got the talent to play fwd and back.

Hi Redleg. Yeah, it's a little further back in this thread. 

Well he has a great record with his info, so I will prepare myself for a Petty departure at seasons’ end.

Given BBB will probably retire, Smith is probably gone too and Jeffo isn’t up to it atm, we will have a desperate need for a couple of experienced key forwards.

A player like Lukosius who is rumoured to be available and a bigger bodied experienced key forward, would have to be targets for us.

I wanted Treacy included in the LJ deal, but it didn’t happen.

I think Turner could be a chance to play forward in the future, if we are desperate.

Verall is another who could play forward, as he has good hands.

I wonder if Fullarton could also be trained up to play a more permanent forward role. A bit more muscle could help him.

I am sure if we know Petty is leaving, we will be preparing for it. It will be an interesting watch.

It was round 20 when he kicked 6. Was subbed out of the following game with two to his name. He has been returning from a tricky injury since.

It's a very impressive feature from the club. That's the sort of content many of us have been crying out for.

Great access, really good coverage from a filmmaking perspective. Be great to get these sort of features regularly. Not once a season type thing.

When was she employed? Because it's clear they started filming it last year.

Could be why Turner now playing forward?

I love this type of close up expose of Harrison being wheeled into the operating theatre, the footage of the Specialist, the administering the anaesthetic, then the long recovery period, etc, like previously mentioned I crave this kind of behind the scenes documentary. Top shelf MFC, Harrison, fitness and coaching staff.💕

I thought it was pretty clear to anyone who read his post that he was giving an opinion. He wrote IMO. He didn't say that he had knowledge that he was out the door and I didn't suggest that he did.

Agreed

What's the fuss

1goal per 3 games isn't going to matter much as well as injury prone

We be lucky to get a second round for him at the moment

Let the play play and maybe Adelaide will make a stupid offer you can only hope

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
