  • 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.

I am sick of people bagging Cameron Bruce on hear. I understand and appreciate that people are entitled to their opinion but he gives his all. As he gets more game time he will regain fitness and he showed today how dangerous he is. His kicking has deteriorated but you could see today that is improving again. He clearly beat Steve Johnson and kicked goals. He is our next captain and he has my full support.

Lets not get carried away. He is not a captain's bootlace, but he is at his best when given a defensive job, and I hope that Bailey continues down that path. God knows our backline needs all the help it can get.

His job on Johnson was excellent, and it was great that he managed to push forward and kick goals as well.

I think he is a good player who's perhaps been overrated. He's got good versatility but his disposal is terrible, an inexcusable given he is a senior player of almost 10 years experience. Furthermore, there is no way he should be captain. He hasn't played good football for three years now really, his career is on the wane. Although I can't think of a candidate to take over once Neitz retires

Wow, the soft players all put in today. Fantastic, the first cobblestone on the road to respect, not of the opposition but the respect of the club!

i'm first to have a go if he had a bad game so only fair i praise him on a good game. he was very good today. thinking he's very good as a tagger because he seems to set himself for the target very well and we all know can run all day. further more he may be able to use the ball better if his mind is focused on the opposition as he is pressed more to do so. will be intrigued by his next 3 weeks

Cam Bruce can be bloody awesome at times, and he was great against the cats today. He will not captain the side, but I am sure he will retire in red and blue. He is worth a roster spot any day of the week, even if he cannot string games together all the time.

Cam Bruce is still a great player for the club....but he will not be our captain (MACCA!!!!!!!!!!! Why not J-MAC??)

I must confess I have always be critical of Bruce. Maybe because a lot of people made him out to be an elite AFL footballer which he isn't that. I accept him for what he is a hard running a little above average AFL footballer. I think sometimes we all search for elite players with in our club and when you don't have any we try to make someone who is not, one.

Let's get this straight . . . Cameron Bruce is a smart footballer and is absolutely fantastic with his hands, always been silky, it's when he uses his feet in the last few years he has been poor. He's given too many good games to this club to say that he's just a little above average.

There's a few other midfield captains that are receiving players.

They don't have to be Michael Voss

Spot on. And I think that if you watch Cam Bruce for a full game, you'll notice that when its his turn to go, he goes and he goes hard. Last year he was in our top 3 for tacklers which indicates that he does put in. He had a sensational game today and I would throw my support behind him as our next captain.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
