  • 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.

OMG How does Neil Bullen get a game? What an idiot. Hasn't hit a target all night & brain fades continually.

The 6 tackles - leading the side yet again - have something to do with it.  He's also had it 14 times and not all of those were woeful.

But as usual, all we can remember is the last kick.

ANB should never play again.

We should be 20 points up but thats life. Big effort needed in the 2nd half specially being a player down plus a proppy Spencer.

ANB gives Richmond all the momentum when they come out for the 3rd quarter. I hope this isn't going to be Freo all over again.

Didn't we do it against the Cats also?

Poor: Jkh (2 stats, 4 fumbles/drop marks), Gartlett, Hogan 

Tell Clayton Oliver to KICK IN. 16 posessions. 13 handballs. 4 effective handballs.

Only Watts and Hibberd have any decent  kicking skills.

Scarey.

Loved Hibs goal.

He owned it. I like that

JKH has looked a mile off. One good mark but the rest has been poo.

ANB has done a couple of good things but just lacks composure. That last kick was as bad as Fitzy's tunnel ball.

Oh, and Melksham has been good. I questioned his retention but have liked his game so far.

His skills are below par for sure, but "huge liability" is ridiculously over the top.  We're winning this game because of midfield and half forward pressure, and he is a key ingredient to that.  

Unless you're arguing in favour of One Tackle Kent, it's not really that much of a wonder he's in the side.

Watch Richmond closely. All of their entries come from transition. They are quick and direct, and confident in their scoring ability. We look to chain together 2-3 handballs before a kick. We still don't use the first option, which was an issue that persisted in the Roos years. Richmond have looked similarly average as Freo was in the first half last week, but look at what happened. Geelong killed us in transition and scored every time they went forward. 

Something very weird about Goodwin's attacking structure here. We are losing games rather than the opposition winning them. This game has the same makings of the Geelong and Freo game.

We are in a world of hurt. All Hardwick has to say is how [censored] have we been,  make work of them next half. This half will let us know if we are demons or not

Yeah, I'd back him. He made a blue but let's see how he responds.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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

    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,
