  • 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 see this as the third season defining game for us so far this season. I hope this is the game in which we define. 

Can you define 'define'?

Somewhere out in the red heart of the country there a 22 men searching for the meaning of the term "season defining".

I wish them well.

That was last week.

Defined as not good enough

I've had a good read on them the last month but I have absolutely no idea what to expect today, I wouldn't be surprised by a 10 goal win or a loss. 

Neither would Nostradamus.

Possibly ,for mine  , the most perplexing frustrating aspect about today is i have absolutely no idea what to really expect. What I should be expecting is a 'stung' Demons going out before a pseudo home crowd and thoroughly trounce the coasters as a statement.

What will happen ? Anyone's guess. 

MFC...we really ought to be past this by now !!

Every season defining game this year we have failed miserably, no expectation today as usually ends in disappointment. Sad I know, but that's Melbourne.

Even work colleagues still bag our side as flakey, which is true.

Lets see which Melbourne decide to show up today!!!

Really worried about Lynch and or Wright today. No doubt the suns will target Oscar's match up and exploit that as much as possible. Hoping our mids can be applying relentless pressure on their mid's so the delivery inside 50 can be shocking and get the ball to hit the ground and effectivly take their talls out of the game.

Also noticed Weed is an emergency and Watts is listed as on the bench... could we see a late change? Jack seemed a bit off last week might be carrying something?

I won't be able to watch today because I'm kindly doing some gardening for my dear old grandma...so if we somehow put 4 quarters together you'll all know it was my fault all along.

Having said that, I didn't watch the Freo game either and that didn't help much.

Well, the first 9 chapters of "The Journey" have been intriguing to say the least. I will read chapter 10 later on this afternoon.

Even if the reading is positive, do I return  the book in the fiction or non fiction section of the library? 

I love this club but I must admit my head is messed up to the point where I can't feel the slightest bit of confidence sometimes.

Usual game day discomfort deep in my gut. Glad I have a fence to fix if I can't stand watching the game. This season is really starting to get to me.

    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,

    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
