  • 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.

Yes, there was a lot of the inevitable about the way we lost... but we didn't just curl up and roll over! I agree with the tactical stuff up with Gawn off early last qtr... but if you ever get the cou

I know others have responded already, but this post really hit me. Mate trust me, even those of us with lives jam packed full of other stuff feel the sting. Being able to rationalise it away with

The 'whingers' actually care about the club and long for success.  Losses hurt. You are the fakest supporter I have ever seen.  And you are by far the worst poster here.

Did we put an extra behind the ball when that expletive Hawkins tore us a new arse hole in the last?

Nup.

Goodwin fail.

For as bad as I feel, this is a silly comment.  We're still in sixth.  While the loss was shattering, we played out of our skin for three quarters at one of the hardest away grounds to play on in the competition. 

Finals is still well and truly alive.

Mate, our season is on life support and being sixth is a mirage. At this stage will go into one game for the remainder of the season as favourites. That would leave us on eleven wins and missing finals.

worse than that, if we’d just taken care of business tonight and against the saints, we’d be a lock.

Arrrrgggghhhhhhgghggggghhhhhhhh?!?!?!I just... like how the [censored] does that happen?! I mean like..... what, we were up by how much and kicked 3.5 in last and still lost by a kick AFTER THE [censored] N SIREN?!?!

How does this club and the players keep doing it to us. All week, we need to win these big games etc etc.

I get sick of seeing the players get all up and about during the game, how about you win it before going nuts after a goal and stop the sledging during a game and just focus on your task and win the game.

The home ground advantage was enomous for them, the further we got up, the more the cats willed themselves and and went for broke. Thats what shots me.

Seriously unlucky that they kicked 16 and only 4 pts. Thats f_@#.

We deserved to win that. She have one Rd one too. Deserved to beat port too. Just real hard to break the spirit at away games like that. I (censored) hate that we have the MCG and get out-supported at our home games!

We're in it until we're not in it.  We have the ability to beat any team in front of us, with the exception of the Eagles in Perth, which is a huge ask of any side these days.

It might be a mirage to you, but it's pretty clear to me.  This loss cuts very, very deep, but we aren't done just yet.

But you said we’d lose by ten goals before the game so what are you upset about?

It's funny you spent time noting the quantum of the loss I expected /quoted then when we lose by less you challenge me that I should be happy we lost by less. Allow me to disabuse you of the notion that your logic is based on a sound axiom

shoulda, woulda, coulda we are [censored] weak when the heat is on. 5 goals up and just gave it away.

why didnt we posses the footy in the last 1.30 minutes? Petracca kicks a barrel wtf? we could have chipped it around and knocked off a minute, we just melt in these situations. 

Goodwin has alot to answer for in that last quarter absolutely diabolical coach FMD and FML.

Bye

We blew it tonight, disappointed, still in the 8, move onto next week

In what way is it acceptable to lose with a 5 goal lead going into the last quarter. We have every right to vent.

Those that are screaming out for a chop out for O McDonald seem to have forgotten about Lever and Hibberd... Players of that ilk don't grow on trees... The team did everything possible to get the win... We just weren't good enough tonight! Who thought a MFC team with the likes of JKH, Frost, J Smith, Spargo etc would win away at the Cattery when the season began?  However, we will improve in coming rounds and in 2019 with Viney, Hibberd, Lever, Hunt, Stretch, and AVB available.

    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
