    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.

Got a doggies mate who thinks they’re tanking for the no.4 pick. It would be very Melbourne to lose to a team that’s tanking ?

That is literally the most MFC win contra indicator I've heard of.

We are at least 2 goals better a quarter.  Boyd and Bont out.  McRae rushed back.  48 points, Maxie to own the skies.  JKH to surprise knockers.  Improved (modified) forward 50 approach to be on display.

I have other duties and wont be there today - but perhaps that is a good thing because I have only seen one win at the G this year (Roos), and felt the Geelong, Saints and Pies games were poor give-ups.  Go Dees

I'm actually genuinely excited, given this is the first match I have been able to attend all season. 

Attending with a doggies fan so I hope it's me who get to gloate on the long ride home and not him.

 

Carn the Dees!

Was not planning to go today for fear of extending my 0-5 live record this year. 

But then my boss scored tickets to a sponsored corporate box in the ponsford stand level 1. It actually is important work schmooze.

Who’s been in one before? I’m worried I’ll make a [censored] of myself. I’ll guess I’ll just keep shoving canapés in my mouth and watch quietly..

Good pick up Deemented!

I've had a couple of goes in the corporate boxes both for footy and cricket.

And yes .... I made a [censored] of myself each time. With the wisdom of hindsight though, it is probably best to show a little restraint - you may get invited back!

I believe we are maturing. I expect us not to let the dogs get more than 2 goals in a row and to control the momentum. We should be learning from our past bad games. Four quarters please and hard at it in the time on period. Plenty of marks for us in the 50 meter area on such a beautiful day. Go Dees!

Well done Nibbler. 50th game. Has anyone ran further in their first 50 games?

The club also acknowledges two more milestones. 

1000 disposals for Trac ( needs two more)

1000 disposals for Jesse (needs five more)

Beautiful winter’s day. Go Dees!

After the Hawthorn & Richmond losses I stopped caring so much and we went on a 6 game winning streak... The St.Kilda game crushed me again, so I've gone back to not caring so much. Can't watch tonights game which will be weird, I can't recall ever not watching a game on t.v. atleast. Dees by 23, hoping more than anything!

Early in the week I was very apprehensive about this game (our home ground disadvantage, the doggies outside run, scars from the St Kilda game, MFCSS kicking in, etc), but after more thought, and seeing the respective teams, I'm now more confident of a win.  We are  both more talented and more experienced, and besides, I just can't bring myself to tip against Melbourne when finals are on the line. ?  Dees by 24 points.

Simple formula. Win! No excuses etc. win by 1 point or by 100 points. Prefer 50 plus points but a win is all we need then no travel this week. 

I think we can beat Geelong and Sydney but day is crucial

The Saints game was a huge setback for my confidence this side will just get the job done when it needs to, but last week went some way towards restoring it.  

I think it was @ProDeethat the experience comparison between the two sides, which showed us fielding a vastly more experienced side.  We've got them covered in pretty much every position on the ground. This is an absolute must win and we should do comfortably.

After the St Kilda debacle we need to win this game by a substantial margin to bring back the players’ and the supporters’ belief!  Then we need to continue and win every match between now and the end of the home and way season so as to finish Top Four! Finishing in the Final Eight is not good enough!

I admit to a vested interest as l will be overseas for the first week of the Finals!

    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
