  • 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.

So this may be a bit premature, seeing the big game is still 3 weeks away, but I am getting excited!!!!!

i know we are all hoping for 4 or less wins this year (& we would be stupid not to), but lets make one of them against the filth. the pies are in dire straits, & we are playing like demons (pun intended). i hope we absolutely smash them!!!!!

I have never been to a QB before, as i only moved to melbourne last year, & with watts due to debut around this time, i am predicting an absolute cracker.

is it just me, or are others out there getting this excited already?

if we win, we wont get the priority pick. simple as that. as we play west coast, freo and richmond all at the mcg later on in the season. not to mention port at the g and essendon too. we could easily win 6 or 7 if we are stupid

I agree with you. We are playing decent footy (not great), but our finishing skills are not too far away. If we reach the 4 wins too early, its time to borrow the 2007 Carlton Play Manual & put Davey in the ruck & Robbo at full back. :blink:

If we beat the Pies kiss good bye picks 1 and 2. In saying that I cant help but want to beat them to a pulp! Remember that sign they held up (Get off our ground) Grrrr still makes my blood boil.

As for the priority pick we'll need to be 1 and 13 to have any chance at it.

Does every thread have to turn in to a tanking debate? I grew up in the 70's when a four win season was a good one for us. I was 5 years old before I saw use win a game that I went to (and we went to lots!). I will take every win that we can get rather than be happy that we lose games for a "maybe he will be a star" player. If we finish with 7 wins then that is six more happy days for me this year.

BTW - A 20 goal win against Colling@#$% won't be enough. I'll hope for another one on the siren.

"I would love one of our 4 wins to be against the filth. Oh what a pleasure."

That's what I reckon, too!! I'm prepared to risk that coveted 16th position to bugger up their sesaon!

JJC, it seems you are having trouble quoting replies.

Either press 'quote' or 'reply' icons at the post you are replying to, then type your response underneath the quote. Then Add reply. It should look cleaner than it currently is for you.

The Filth's season is already Buggered. I shall look forward to spotting Eddie's pasty & pale face during the game, as he stated earlier this year that Collingwhatever were a genuine Flag threat" NOT.

I can't wait for it. Always want to win this one! However we do have to make sure it's the first of only three more wins for the year!

Only way we can be sure of this is that once we win our 4th for the year just make sure we play all of Watts, Strauss, Bennell, Jetta, Bail, Jurrah, McNamara, Cheney, Buckley and Spencer for the remaining matches. Getting valuable games into them before next year. hehe.

But seriously I reckon we're a good shot at winning this one. We've improved a lot and hey're on the decline. Lets smash them like we did 04 through to 07!

Walk to the G is going to be great, really enjoyed last year. Except for the middle-aged woman who stole my mates flag...

That is just not on...

But, Collingwood should be back to full strength by then and will have the acid on them.

At least there will be fireworks...

    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

    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
