  • 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.

The first upset has already occurred. I'm upset that Carlton are part of another televised Friday night game. It's an outrage!

That worked well last year.

Crows fans will be really happy.  They've just been tipped out of the eight by a bee's and replaced by .... Port Adelaide.

Freo playing ok seeing as they basically gave up on this game at team selection.

Pies looking pretty good too.

Sets up a massive game next week.

Both teams in good form.

Would've preferred more breathing space between us and the Pies but not unhappy to see the lowly teams continue to lose. Helps to reduce the field of potential finalists. I'd say any team heading into their bye with 4-5 wins is basically out of finals contention, considering the logjam at 7-8 wins.

At least, the Scum winning will ensure 85,000+ next week. Two teams flying.

We should account for them easily, but how will we respond to Lever's injury? That's the big question.

Watching Collingwood, it's likely watching 15 or so ANB's run around. They get a fair bit of it but turn it over under very little pressure. It'll be interesting to see how they go against our pressure if we bring it.

With Nth possibly finishing as high as 6th after this round... how is it that ‘Melbourne hasn’t beaten anyone yet...’??

You don't understand; North weren't good yet when we beat them. How could they have been? I mean, they lost to Melbourne!

 

Everyone we have beaten are below us, and we have only lost once to teams above us. 

It only seems like yesterday that every team was above us :unsure:

Pies didn't play the game out at the end and the Dockers did a nice job of whittling back Pies %.

GWS taking it right up to the Crows.  If GWS win they boot Crows out of the 8.  Even if GWS lose, a small loss helps our cause for finals.

 

So, Huge, Huge game vs Pies next week.

We win and we have 9 wins - 2 wins and good % ahead of next weeks 6th, 7th, 8th and looking good for top 4 (with a double chance and at least one Home final at the G).

Lose and we will be in the pack of 4/5 teams on 8 wins.

We owe the pies for rnd 23, 2017.  Lets hope that still burns deep in our team and they wreak their revenge.  Will be happy with any win!

Geez, I hope GWS don't awaken

I am with you. I am going for the crows in this one.

We play them round 23. It would be great if they were out of finals contention and taking it easy with stars coming back.

OMG the maggots are [censored] scared of letting GW$$ beating Adelaide in front of their crowd.

 

At least it is a close game unlike the boring runaways this afternoon.

GWS winning is not a great an outcome as some might think. Get Greene back into that team and they're dangerous.

I am supporting them, today, in response to the Crows' supporters schadenfreude over OUR Jack Lever's injury!

Giants are up and down. They needed to make a statement. Thats all. They have no consistency at all.

    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

    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,
