  • 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.

Melksham's versatility actually hindered him at Essendon and we couldn't decide either, kudos to whichever coach decided forward

No, he was unable to lock down a position consistently and was switched around because of this, not the other way around. He has admitted this in press conferences in the past so lets not rewrite history.

The progressive expressions on Rodan's face throughout the third quarter onslaught are priceless: can't believe I had to play for this same mob in 2013.

I thought he was smiling from the third onwards. Think he was enjoying it

Lever was brilliant today 

He was, but as soon as Curnow was out I knew he'd be in for a massive day.

Basically played by himself and we set up beautifully down the line and Carlton weren't ambitious or courageous enough to switch the ball, so it meant he just played anchor all day.

It'll be interesting to see how he goes against better opposition.

What a great first game to have the family there together for the first time , 2 and 4 year old and my partner until she had to bail for an event after half time . 

The 2 carlton blokes behind us where loud that was ok and had been involved in some junior footy earlier that day which is a worry . 

I’ll say they were watching a different game and although bad decisions were made by the umpires it wasnt every kick paid as they would have you believe. 

Anyways they shut up eventually before turning on their own .

Too funny and well played demons .

Raining goals and im wondering how good this can be .

I wasn't around for the Robbie Flower royal blue days but felt there was something familiar about our new away colour scheme. It wasn't until the final quarter on the weekend when it finally clicked:

 Agree on losing Kreuzer cup

(loved watching Travis Johnston’s 42 perfect disposals)

Kreuzer never impressive to me

most of his disposals are terrible hospital handballs and kicks

Think he has a very low IQ

 

Who said we would have taken Kreuzer?

 

Cotchin would have been more the need for us back then.

Also great to see Hannan and  Fritter contribute 

Tackles links and goal assists

We have a lot of Talent forward this year

These two are a little unsung but I love watching them

They will have very good seasons

Agreed, we are starting to grow in the talent stakes, slowly but surely.

Charlie Spargo - 4 games for 4 wins. What a great start to a footy career! 

I don't think that is coincidence.

When has he said this, Ive never heard it, he was frozen out by Hird, perhaps he is 'player speaking' as I am told they do

Besides which I have had a few chats to people in the Club and was told what I said, we were looking as a midfielder originally, but with an oversupply, the fwd option was taken, except nobody can remember whose idea it wad

I was having a beer with Ronald Dale when Lethal came in we all got chatting about Melksham, then Carey turns up and we were all on the same page you know.   

Then Elvis came to me in my dreams and let me know that I was on the right track. 

Good times.

Also in reference to people being disappointed that we are going to play in Alice and the Blues get a friday night game.... the twisted side of me says thats a great outcome. Put the spotlight VERY firmly on the blues, I can guarantee that they will not get many if any Friday night matches next year, should not have received the number that they have this year, we on the other hand just need to get on with the next game! Next years fixture will look after itself based on the teams performances this year!

A little over those in the media who are still trying to justify how we are playing by pointing to 'an incredibly soft run over the last four weeks' and that the club cannot be 'trusted' yet. You can only play who the schedule puts

$20 says they get least the same, if not more Friday games than us next year.

What a win, we have craved that type of win for years and years, makes it all worthwhile, great to sit with two of my daughters in the Ponsford stand and celebrate goal after goal, we all felt intoxicated as we walked back to the car and drove home to Doreen. Yay, Yay and Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Dee's....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a positive, we need more of this to excite young fans and hopefully bring back some of the lost younger generations, we lost a heap of kid fans over the last 10 years.

Judd is on Footy Classified and asked plenty of hard questions, really struggled to answer them about his club.

Judd then went on to say how disappointed he would be if Murphy wasn’t a 1 club player.

Hutchinson is a pig of a human. 

They also brought up Tmac and his value compared to old mate from Suns.

    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

    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,
