    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.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

G'day guys,

I think we have a strong chance to win come Saturday night.

Neitz, Robbo, & Davey a due a big game. With saying that, I think we can match the Bulldogs, I think we're a good fit.

GO DEES!!! :lol:

I gave up hope after the Roos game in round 16, Robbo's 200th, were I thought we were a strong chance.

Ordinarily, I'd say we're a huge chance with White playing his 250th. We had big wins when Neitz and Yze both played their 250th.

However there is a distinct lack of passion and motivation among the group circa late 2007. There is only about 2 or 3 players that will be prepared to get their hands dirty and crave a win for the big milestone.

I do have high hopes of a closer match than the previous 4 weeks, but a win is out of the question. Too many injuries.

If Brad Johnson doesn't come up I'd say the boys would be some chance if they really wanted to win. An even better chance if they play him and the soreness turns into a full-blown hammy; that'd be "end-of-season and heads down" for them. Even so, any side who can limit the output of Cross and West is always a chance agin the Bullies.

The doggies have struggled a fair bit this year considering their hype. I really do believe they are beatable, provided some spirit gets in the boys or maybe I just beat to red & blue to see the big picture. Lots of talented players in the fold. Hoping for a good contest.

Well said. I agree with you 110% fellow demon fan.

I like what you have to say. Looking forward to reading more of your posts shortly.

You just never know what our team is going to do - we can mix it with the best when we have a decent team out there.....this is one we could sneak home in.

I would be more worried if I was a Doggies supporter. We don't really have anything to loose....they are still trying to convince everyone they are worthy finals contenders - if they can't win this they are in trouble.

Would love to see the boys win it for Whitey but I would sooner see us win the following week for David Neitz - if we only have one more victory coming our way, please make it against the maggies. Imagine beating them twice in a season when we have had such a bad year - pure gold!

That's all I want for my Birthday & Christmas combined!

A win against those pricks!!!

Really don't like him do you demons32?

Just think the day they changed the centre circle is the day White lost it.

He can barely mark over head these days either.

He gets alot of possies but they are kicks to a wing or marks behind play. Love Whitey, was my fav player for YEARS but upsets me how much development we loose because of him. Congrats on 250 White.

Yes. Please elaborate.

Jeff White has been a great contributer to the Melbourne FC for a decade.

Who are you to judge him? I can't see you out there!

250 games is a big effort so he has obviously done something right!

Still is one of the leaders in the AFL for hitouts - It's not his fault he has players such as Godfrey to make the clearances.

Give him a break Demons 32 or Log Out of Demonland.

Who's with me???

Please elborate.

Well we got rid of Simmonds because we were playing White to often, we tarded Jolly because he wanted out for never getting a chance to play because of White and PJ and Jamar are barely played and when the are spend far to much time on bench. I don't know if either are good enough but it just seems mfc is to quick on the play hite scenario, and weve got white, we'll be alright.

For example, we went to Adelaide against Brogan and Lade with just White, that was stupid. Should have brought PJ or Jamar. But I do like White.

You clearly don't like White.

Show some respect. White is better than those two players put together. I can't see them still playing full game time. Give Johnson & Jamar a break too!

They can play. Have you seen Jamar in Sandi???

The kid can play!!!

Very true,

Think about it bwell.

No. It's not different. There still kicking an oval shaped ball around. The class perhaps lacks but it's still Football.

Jamar is still extremely young & will be a great attribute of the Melbourne FC for many years to come. You will see.

Furthermore, just be quite both of you - Jeff White deserves this time & shouldn't be bagged by his so called supporters.

I have an idea - Bag the opposition, not Melbourne players! :angry:

I didn't bag him, I started this thread!

VFL IS a very different game BECAUSE of the difference in class. AFL has a much larger and hugely different kind of intensity that takes a player many games to get used to. Think about it, you have maybe 1000 people at a VFL match compared to 11000-100000 people at an AFL match, not to mention all the people watching at home. Yes, he is still doing the same thing, kicking marking etc. but on a much bigger stage with a much larger audience. Think of it this way. Your a small time actor performing a play at your local high school, then all of a sudden the directors tells you your next show will be done in Broadway.

Back to the topic for me

The TAB rate our chances at $4 (vs Bulldogs @ $1.22)

I think (depending on team selected) it will be a very close game and we do have a good chance of pulling the win especially if there is no B.Johnson :)

    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

    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
