    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.

Congratulations to all those that turned up today... I'll be taping the second half. In what has been a truly crappy season so far, this is worth remembering.

il be up late watching the replay for sure

small crowd there though , said only 19,000

3,000 up on last year will help the club - and we were going worse this year in terms of magnitude of defeats and hopelessness.

I hope all those that went had an amazing second half and celebrated in a decent manner.

Nah i actually Garland did okay today. He needs to get bigger but he knew what his job was and, he did a decent job on farmer. farmer had little impact.

man pavllich is terrible at winning the game in the death

couldnt do it last week

same this week

from where i sat, he was single handedly keeping them in the match. and came relatively close to winning it for them....

brad miller you star.....loved the tough stuff! more importantly love your game. stood up today and played like a man

wonna you star!

bruce....absolutely fantastic....vocal....lead by example...could captain my club permanently if this is how he consistently goes about his footy

and plenty of others i cant be bothered mentioning.

one of my big philisophies in footy is that you need to make each individual player from the opposition feel like they are playing directly against 18 blokes, not just his own opponent. i saw this for half the day today.

Nah. She's right. Garland looked like a bloke who thinks he's good enough at this level, sometimes that's half the battle.

As for Miller, it's frustration station i'm afraid. He was fantastic today, really good, does beg the question...

But who gives a sh!t, we won a game of football!!!!!

Miller still can't kick though. There is no excuse for a guy of his size to not be able to make the distance from inside 50.

He was very good on goal and that's what counted today. Delivered lace out to Wonna in last quarter. He can't be targeted much after today's game.

FFS, he kicked 2 goals in a minute in the third quarter which should have won them the game. But the other 21 shockers in the team coughed up the game.

Bizarre post.

Agree Rhino. Pavlich kept them alive single handedly in the second half. He is a genuine superstar, and I'd give my left nut to have him in our side.

Graz, it may not have been a premiership, but it sure felt like it to me. I'm still buzzing now.

Pavlich is a gun of the highest order being wasted away in a team that has done nothing but humiliate itself since coming into this competition. I would give my left arm to have him in our team.

Garland was great yesterday. He had a huge job on Farmer, and apart from one silly defensive punch which sort of gave Farmer a free goal, he played with purpose and dash. Some of his kicking was surprisingly great.

As for Miller, how can anyone say he can't kick?? He kicked 3 goals, 2 from set-shots, one from a snap around the body and hit numerous players on the chest, including Aussie in the dying minutes of the match.

No he isn't, nor will he ever be Matthew Pavlich, but with some self-belief and confidence he can be a very important part of our side. He just needs to back himself a little more.

Good call Jaded. At times he looked out of depth, everyone will remember that maniacal punch of the football to nowhere but I thought he has vastly improved since his last outing.

I wonder how many people will bring up Junior's horrific decision to punch the ball to a Freo player, instead of taking the mark?

Didn't think so.

Garland was terrific, and is coming along nicely. Sometimes all a young player needs is some belief from his coach.... <_<

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
