  • 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.

Bate misses through injury and Sylvia through suspension.

Whelan gets another week or two to get match fitness up - no point risking a guy with his injury history first up

Perhaps Jamar gets a run first up ahead of Meesen, but I'd like to see him get first crack.

Runners on the bench to counter Hawthorn's runners.

Going on who you say is available. Although I'd be surprised if Rivers was available.

FB: Bell Carroll Bartram

HB: Frawley Rivers Petterd

C: Moloney Jones Wheatley

HF: Bruce Newton Green

FF: Robertson Neitz Davey

Foll: White McDonald McLean

Int: P Johnson Morton Dunn Buckley

A few notes on my side.

- Assuming (hoping) that Rivers is fit.

- Green and Bruce to strengthen forward line.

- Wheatley in a more attacking position on the wing.

- PJ as second ruck.

- Not the strongest defence, but one with talent (i.e. no Miller).

- Strong body midfield (i.e. Jones, Moloney and McLean)

- Give the kid Morton a run as a bit of a smokey.

R: White McDonald Jones

IC: P Johnson Moloney Morton Bruce

IMO....

- Miller to provide a solid target at CHF and take responsibilty for kicking it into the forward line himself.

- Buckley not ready just yet (needs more poise).

- Yze to surpise the football public by showing he still has much to offer.

- P Johnston the pick of the bunch to play second fiddle to White currently.

- Rivers, Bartram ready to play the full game.

- Bruce to good to get match fit at Sandy - bring him in now.

- Morton should be locked into play the first 3 rounds in the seniors. As a natural outside player, he will be fine.

Whelan and Bartram both named in the starting 18 for Round 1 (just shown on The Footy Show).

Maric, Dunn and Petterd named on a VERY extended bench, but no Morton or Rivers.

A bit of a worry that Bartram and Wheels both came up but Rivers is still with Sandy. Hopefully that is not a sign that he pulled up sore or anything.

However, absolutely brilliant news for Wheels and Bartram. After the depressing reports we've been getting about their progress, it's great to have both named in the side.

Unfortunately, because of the number of players they had up on the team sheet, I didn't catch who our second ruckman is going to be, or whether Bruce was named.

CHF was Robbo, and CHB Miller. Not that it means much.

Yep just saw the other thread and apperantly he was.

Please ignore everything I just said. Rivers was named on extended bench, and I must have missed it because I was jumping for joy when I saw Bartram's name up there.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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
