  • 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.

Who does Dunn have to root to get a game?

Would really like some transparency from the MFC as to why they make certain selections, atleast then we wouldn't have to speculate about the conspiracy that we are buffing the Zebra's with players to help qualify for finals and win another VFL premiership. Still can't understand why dunn struggles to get a game and how PJ is running around for Sandringham at the moment. :rolleyes:

Dunn is already qualified so there goes that theory.

If you actually looked at his game for Sandy last week you would be far from impressed.

I agree Dunn was ordinary last week but his MFC form was fairly good before being dropped.

Was it any worse than the tripe served up by most the MFC players last week against Port?

Ferguson, Brown, Ward will get the chop

They will play Bode. NO point elevating him otherwise.

They will definately not cut any shining youngsters like Newton, Buckley or Frawley.

Wish Dunn would get a game somehow, playing him up forward. I like him as a 3rd tall up forward. Maybe take Robbo off for the year to get him right, Dunn move into a similar role.

i reckon you might be wrong. i reckon Jamar, Buckley, Bode and Ward will get the chop from the bench named.

i think you have hit the nail on the head about why dunn isnt getting a game.

with neitz, robbo, newton, bate all playing forward dunn would be the 5th tall forward in the side, and thats not gonna happen. he is better being left at sandy where he can try and dominate (which is obviously isnt doing) and apply what he has learnt at AFL level. with miller, holland, carrol, ferguson and frawley in the side as tall backs we are looking pretty top heavy already. add jamar as a possible backup ruckman, there isnt relaly a spot for dunn...

imo he needs to take robbos spot...

I don't understand why anyone would question Buckley.

They love him. They think he is going to be great. Riley thinks he is amazing. The reason he only got named after Neale left.

Riley really rates Bucks and has spoke in the media about how important Buckley and Newton are to the end of 2007, developing two terrific kids for next year. He will not miss another game.

I have no idea why Ferguson's still in the 18. Boggles the mind.

I can understand with Miller, Jamar cause if they play well, ppl may be swayed to keep them or have trade value.

Ferguson's got no trade value whats so ever. At 25, his got the same strength as a 17 y.o solid built KPP. Not too many 17 y.o to match up on every week.

I reckon from the named team Bode will not play and there will be a couple of late withdrawals due to injury; Robbo and Frawley looked a bit proppy last week and i am not sure whether they will play. This will leave Jamar to come in and Ferg, Bucks, Ward and the rest to retain their spot.

    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.
