  • 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.

Great win, great comeback, perfect second half...BUT

You can't be saying this if you were actually at the game.

Best feeling ever.

These are the games you remember for a long time and why you stick with a club through little thick and much thin

It was only Fremantle ;)

Fifty points down at the half way mark after six successive heavy losses; come on, don't be so mean spirited - we just got King Kong off our back. Even if Fremantle's scapl dangling from our belt doesn't excite you much, we did turn things around in the second half and play some direct, exhilarating footy. Enjoy the win.

It's funny though, against any other club other than the Shockers, Melbourne wouldn't have won the game after that deplorable first half. That includes West Coast, Essendon or anyone at the moment. Fremantle is the only team that can produce a result like that.

Having said that, considering the circumstances, it was one of the all time great wins.

Great Comeback YES

Great Win NO although it sure was good timing before the break

Some people on this forum simply look at one half of football

Great WINS come from playing 4 quarters of football not one half and that actually winning playing that way is VERY RARE

I dont consider playing a poor half of football irrespective of the result GREAT

Was it positive ? ABSOLUTLEY and will build confidence in future games but we will acheive greater forward progression playing 4 quarters competivley even if we LOSE the game

for all those MFC followers not supporters who could have been there and wernt,,,,, TUFF..... it was the greatest fealing after the game.

some positives came out of it, garland showing positive signs, straight at the ball, a bit of run off the back line. aussie no more needs to be said. but i will, great and dont you love the little frog dance after the goals. millar guess what hes a forward who would have guessed?

after the game i heard this crazy old woman going [censored] yelling,screaming and singing the GOF for the umteenth time, suprise it was my wife and i was carrying on like a bit of a loose arab myself.

friends you had to be there, you could feel the pride and pure joy deep down and you just had to let it out.

Cartainly was a fantastic win! I was wondering why i hadn't gone to the pub instead of going to the football at half time, but was very pleased after the siren. It really was an amazing game. There were older women ringing up the radio statiopns afterwards saying that they had been crying, i haven't heard of this since Buckanara broke every melbourne supporters hearts in '87.

    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.

    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
