  • 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.

Of course we can bloody win it weren't you guys watching yesterday

If the machine can stay in that gear and the boys can keep their confidence up they can give anyone a shake

You don't kick 9 goals to 2 in a quarter if you're rubbish

not being pessimistic but rarely do you lose consecutively by 100 points, or lose 6 in a row if your any good...

Guys i got a strange feeling that we might upset the crows at AAMI stadium.

Does anyone besides me feel this feeling?

I do.

Just a little, but I do.

Hmm.... reasons for feeling positive.

PJ listed to play for Sandy this week.

Ditto Whelan.

Cale Morton to get a week to rest his bones.

Bailey will understand AAMI and have a better than average familiarity with the Crows, too.

And who knows what a two-week break to think about the fact that we really can win games will do to our playing group. They might just be ready to go hard.

And unrelated but still positive - people are signing up as members. The club said "sign up, you're needed" and people are bloody well signing up.

Demons fans are legends. We sign up even when it's hell.

Edit: Here's something else that is interesting. Adelaide wins this season have been -

West Coast. (before anyone realised just how much they suck)

Port Adelaide. (at the time, they sucked)

Fremantle. (ahem)

Carlton. (whatever)

North Melbourne. (who really seemed inept last week)

I'm getting the feeling a little more, now.

Earlier on the week, Dean bailey says If the other teams aren’t training and we are, then that’s our chance to sneak up on them.

If we start off well we will get beaten by 10 goals and I would take that anything under that margin will be a miracle and they usually don't happen 2 games in a row. If we don't start off well it will be another 100 point hiding.

bailey also said he was studing their defence and thought he could break it down.. to be honest the crows were never a powerhouse at kicking goals just a damn mean defence .. i think we break even in the middle, their forwards and our backs should be about even too, so long as rivers is in charge, as for our forwards aussie is a gun by the looks of things at reading the ball off a pack.. miller is good at making packs fall over..so play him deepthen its up to ourr boys to run run and keep running..so the main difference will be the crowd and their supporters.. everyone heard the speil about how our supporters really lifted the guys in the last quarter..lets just hope we jump them early then its like a ghost town there lol..

Go Dees- 4 point winners

    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

    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.
