  • 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’m in two minds as to whether my son and daughter and I watch it at home or go to federation square.

Although it would be fantastic watching it with all those supporters I hope we can get a good spot and be able to see it clearly.

Id hate to make the journey in , only to get a poor view of the game.

Good call, would hope there is no TV lag either. Very picky with that stuff!

After making the trek from Adelaide for both finals so far (been amazing!) I'll be at Bernie's Hackney Hotel sinking a few quiet/nervous ales from about 1pm ?❤️?

Uncle @Bitter but optimistic should be able to hook you up with one of the fine drinking establishments in the Macedon region?  Heck, you might even get an invite to the Manor if you ask nicely...

I can tell you that the Romsey pub is no longer operational. The pub in Gisborne was ok a few years ago.

As to The Manor - private function.

At home by myself - can yell & scream as much as I like, tape it and watch it again (if we win) - getting texts from daughter who is likely to be at Fed Square! Coming down and will be at the GF. Hope the Dees are there too?

usually take a radio to the footy and tune in now and then for play highlights (after goals) or where there is controversy etc.

Last week thought I would reduce the weight of the backpack, go high tech and listen on the phone. Didn't count on the delay of around 30 seconds where the ball would be at one end and they were still commenting on the play from the other end of the ground !!

Went and bought a $7 mini transistor at the $2 shop for my next trip to the MCG

tip. i bought a portable inexpensive DAB+ radio. it works great inside the mcg and on the train, where the typical am/fm radio wouldn't. highly recommend - all the footy stations also broadcast in digital (dab+)

Haha we've all been there! Only to get the rude surprise of the delay. I quite often like listening to the radio coverage at games if I'm there by myself. The trade-off is having bursting pockets consisting of wallet, phone and some clunky transistor unit.

Really need a smaller solution, might try and get to a $2 shop before heading to Fed Square tomorrow!

After being at the G for the last 2 games, i'll be watching from home.

Plenty of cold beer and a comfy chair.

However, I have been relegated to the back room on the smaller TV. Probably not a bad suggestion by the Mrs.

Are you wearing a skirt for the Grand Final if we make it?

And no doubt nothing noted at the MCG gates by the “metal detectors”.

Idoubt if they have batteries in them .... maybe they are mock ups from the $2 shop too?

Watching on from Cocos pub in Rembrandt Square, Amsterdam with Skuit. I just witnessed a Richmond supporter go feral there and swear constantly at anyone near him in the 2nd half. Classy effort. (They really are everywhere).

    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
