    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.

No offense mate, but if you are having Miller, Petterd, and Bizzell in a rep side then questions have to be asked. Perhaps if Queensland allied with NT and NSW with Tassie.

Just a thought.

'Allies' team was the worst thing about SOO football. Why would blokes from those states want to play?

Would be better with each state going it alone, and perhaps having divisions like u/18 championships to make sure games are competitive.

vic vs SA

qland/tas vs wa/NT/nsw

play them the weekend before the season starts. vic vs sa at the g. the other game either in syd or qland, depends where the afl wants to develop most (although tas deserves it the most because they actually like footy).

the nab cup finishes a week before the season any way...

the games could be played satruday arvo at the g then sat night in syd. vic fans will turn up no matter what, nsw fans will like the night spectacle. do a delayed start ie 240 so it finishes 515-530 then start the other one early, 640 and have an hour off in between. tv ratings would be awesome. the fans would love it.

give the fans something they want for a change afl!

Pretty weak team. Petterd in the middle after three games? I rate him, but :blink:

Miller on a flank isn't terrible - if people thought about him in that way instead of expecting him to be a CHF he might not get as much criticism. Still shows the (lack of) depth in a QLD side.

Interesting to see Lillico named.

That team wouldn't even beat Melbourne!

If SOO is gonna take off it has to be popular straight away.

The AFL won't go for it but next year it should be SA v Victoria and Tasmania v WA.

Start with the traditional football states. The AFL could then look to introducing NSW and Queensland teams in later years.

Deanox, why would a proud state like WA go for playing in a mixed team with NSW?

Just a question.. We have state of origin being proposed for the mid-season break or as a pre-season comp, but why can't it be played at the end of the season? I know people would like to finish the year with the cilmax of the grand final, but who's to say the state of origin couldn't become soemthing similar?

It just seems with the injury concerns it's the most sensible option, it would also reward the representing players for a full season of good form. As for the football public, it would give people who's team wasn't in the finals something to look forward to.

Agree roulette.

I've posted it before but I'd like to see the season like this...

4 weeks NAB Cup, Premiership season and finals, week off, state of origin, week off, 2 weeks international rules.

It's off the topic but I think the AFL needs to take the initiative with International rules. The Irish will not be keen if things continue like last year.

The AFL should pay for the Irish team to come tour. They should play two games in Melbourne (the new rectangular stadium would be a great venue) every year. Forget this tour of Ireland junk. Its just Aussie players on the [censored]. Keep it as professional as possible.

How about three divisions with promotion/relegation.

Div 1. Vic v SA

Div 2. WA v Tas

Div 3: Qld/NT v Nsw/ACT

winner of each game goes up a division and the loser down one for the match the next season

Would give 3 games a year over a carnival weekend. Friday night Sat night and Sunday arvo games.

Surley the coaches would prefer just the one game a year rather then two.

Like the relegation promotion idea, I think the AFL should listen to the players in regards to when it's played as it is them that play, After week 7 seems most appropriate IMO

The funniest thing about that side is the players that missed out. How would you feel if you were a Queenslander who couldn't even make the 22?! Getting beaten on the ground by Petterd and Armitage, on the bench by Merrett and Renouf who hasn't played a game, and Bizzell in emergencies. What did poor old Brett Voss do wrong?!

That's what I was thinking DD. Brett Voss should be a walk up start to that 22.

I like kieranbj's idea of the divisions, it's a good one. The Allies idea was the biggest crock I'd ever seen. I certainly didn't feel represented by that side.

    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

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

    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
