  • 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.

From today's Age -

Ben Holland (Melbourne) shoulder

Dislocated shoulder means the Demon veteran’s season is over.

Daniel Bell (Melbourne) concussion

Took a solid blow to the head while over the ball. Will be assessed this week but likely to be OK for Saturday’s game against Fremantle.

Aaron Davey (Melbourne) hamstring

Hamstring tear will keep the Demon speedster out for the rest of the year.

Despite the injury toll I believe it would be in the best interests of the club and the longevity of the players involved that Neita and Robbo are either placed out to pasture for the remainder of the season. Matthew Bate also truggled with a corkie on Friday night and should not go West unless he's 100%.

Davey also going in for knee surgery.

Given that 5 Demon listed players pulled out of yesterday's Sandy game, and that CJ was named in the best, it would not surprise me in the slightest to see a lot of changes, with many older players taking an early holiday.

Robbo I can understand, but why Neita?

He was in our top 3 best players V Collingwood, and looked as fit as he's been all year.

He is only on 1 leg thats the reason why his kicks are dropping short and are all over the shop. He was in the best cause even a injured neita is better than fully fit midfielders and he always plays up on big occasions. Rest him up for next year!

I think alot of the older players were trying to get up for neitz. Time to put them to pasture for year. CJ will come in for sure. They always throw him in for the subiaco trip, free trip home haha.

The last 2 games of 2007 are of absolutely no importance for MFC & now the 2 milestone games have been achieved make no sense at all keeping not fully fit playesr in the side. Especially Davey with a hammy doing the trip to Subi would be very stupid!

At least Davey, Robbo and Wheatley must be put away for next year.(Last 2 need surgery & the extra 2 weeks between seasons is best value added to their preseason.). MFC should look at anyone else in same situation.

Would be wise to rest Belly for at least 1 week.

Only other considerations are whether any MFC players can qualify to play for Sandy in the finals by playing for Sandy in next week or 2 and whether anyone will play a farewell game at AFL level (Byron, Bizz??). Otherwise give all the kids 2 games!

    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.
