  • 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.

No Bode, no Buckley...

I'm all for making sure the kids aren't doing it on their own, but jeeeeeeezus....

As a club we really only have ourselves to blame. And the thing is that if we want Sheedy, we can't get him NOW to take over.

Why would you elevate bode if your not going to play him?

Sounds like some more money wasting to me.

I'm sure he'll get his chance, still another 4 rounds to go, but fark me just wake me up when this season ends! Excuse the pun, but it's a living hell! No backup ruck either, wtf are the selection panel on!?

y the fark dont they play the kidz.

even if the arent as big contributers than holland, ward, brown and co., they should not be ahead of buckley, dunn, garland, bode.

playing young players in the firsts fast-tracks their development. our season is over and riley wont take advantage. he is shite

Didnt you know, we are employing a youth policy...

Oh wait, that would mean youth would actually need to be playing... <_<

As i tried to explain the team to my daughter I realised I was getting more and more upset.

There is absolutely no logic to what they are doing.

One ruckman. And the one ruckman they don't need to practice any further with this year. Dumb.

Robbo at CHF. Its never worked and it never will. Dumb.

Don't play the kids. Dumb.

Newton starting on the bench. Yeah that makes sense. Dumb.

The first thing Sheedy will do will sack everyone involved in these selections.

Connolly would probably promote them.

How long till the cricket season?

Carna bloods for the rest of this season.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy, completely forgot about that one! :rolleyes:

Looking forward to some more Haydos magic (if he makes the team that is)

Brown, Ward, Holland, Godfrey, Carroll, Ferguson and Pickett.

Would any of these guys get a game right now for any other team?

I think not.

This is the worst Melbourne forward line I have ever seen, Neitz is virtually useless (injuries) and Robo is just as bad (probably injuries as well), so we have to rely on a kid who's played 4 games....ffs, no wonder we're 2nd last. If we're goint to suck then we might as well get some game time into some of our kids, instead of giving games to has beens who sould be delisted at the end of the year.

Very harsh on Carroll, but otherwise, spot on.

Not a clue what Riley and his men are doing. Surely we already know what these players give us, so why are we flogging a dead horse?

if were developing for next year then we would be playing all our youngsters.

reality is, the only real unestablished youngsters in the team are newton and Frawley!

other young players like bate, moloney, davey, bell, mclean and jones are in our best 18 players anyway so playing them is a given.

if riley was serious about developing our list as he claims, then he would be playing buckley, dunn, garland, CJ, PJ and even bode.

until these players are in the seniors, then riley is not putting the MFC club first. instead he is putting himself first by giving ward and brown games.

HE IS SELFISH!

I guess with Carroll he is the best we have to play FB.

    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
