  • 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.

The question im asking is if it where up to you would you decide to win or lose? Giving whats at stake pic One and two and the possibility of wce tanking out the rest of the season.

Remember the question is if you were to decide the outcome what would you choose, not will you be barracking for the dees or anything like that.

Personally i will be cheering on the dees as i do every week.

If we win i hope we thrash them havent seen that in agesssss.

Not saying this applies to you CD but...

"I'm a MFC supporter that regularly posts on Demonology and Demonland and I love my club so much that I want to see them win a flag so I think we should lose 18 games this year so we can get two good kids in the draft.

But if Bailey thinks that getting 18 losses involves patience for bad losses, he has got another thing coming. I believe it not only possible, but downright easy, to lose 18 times and not get blown out of the water in games."

This contradiction is dominating the minds of approx. a third of the people on this forum and I'm getting sick and tired of it.

And I am going to go on record here and say that the last 9 weeks have been against teams not comparable to where we are this year (against the top 8 teams in the league and WC at Subi), and we will come out this week and beat the Coasters on our turf.

A big, fat W this week.

I want us to win 4 or less, but each and every week, I want us to win. I know that makes no sense and is a massive contradiction, but the thing is, I don't really care.

WC winning last week also makes beating them a lot more palatable for me. Also hoping for a win here.

Im in the same boat every week i get all angry and into the game wanting to win. In the end i still want no more than 4 wins.

Also i might chuk on a bet here.

So true. If posters want to Lose 18 games in a season, we will envitable get big blowouts.

The faster we can click off the losses, the better.

A win against Weagles and then I'll like MFC to take 4 weeks off.

In the context of the grand scheme of things we must lose this week and ensure the first 2 picks. A loss this week will be forgotten in a short time but if we miss picking up a player that will help shape our future then this will be a no brainer win.

I think we will win because WCE would also be dumb to miss out on a priority pick for the sake of a pointless win. If nothing else the game should be an intriguing one.

Yes. I am so sick of losing. I just need a win, because I can't see us winning any other games this year.

We could easily beat the Tigers and Freo at the G.

Perhaps even North, although they seem to be our bogey side.

Lets win this one and go back to losing streak after. Win only for the young boys in the side to gain back some of the optimism, self-respect and self belief that they had three games ago!

we need to win... for moral building. It's a win win whether we lose or win. If West Coast win they are on 5 wins and no draft pics. if we win , we are only on 2 wins and moral buster . GO DEES

Jack Bauer is a moral buster.

I think you meant morale booster.

For those that see this game as a win-win regardless of the result, you CAN NOT criticise Bailey for winning only 3 or 4 games this season.

If you want picks, and you want to win games - you are a hypocrite who should abstain from discussion of the coach on his win-loss ratio. Because it is that very ratio that will deliver your precious picks.

We'll win against West Coast. We accounted for them easily last year, and I do think we've improved since then.

Wins against Freo, Port and Richmond are also on the table. If we lose one of them, the Priority Pick will be sewn up.

I have to say I am busting for a win. The losing is taking its toll. I'm sick of it. I want something to get excited about. We need a win badly, as a club, as a playing group and as supporters. We can win 4, so why not take one this week?

I'd hate to think what this place will be like next week if we put in another stinker and lose to West Coast. It just can't happen.

We need a win now.

If we go much longer without a win, I'm going to start to think that when we finally do win and the boys sing the club song, there might be more players in the middle of the circle celebrating their first win for the club, than there will be players actually making up the circle.

Ok, that's exaggerating. But still, we need to win.

Just a note, Centrebet has us as $2.16 underdogs to West Coasts $1.70. I might just take a dip at that $2.16.

I doubt we'l beat port or kangas as you've left out, so i think 4 wins is the maximum if all goes well anyway.

We have a very good record against Port in Melbourne. They've only beaten us once. I think we're more likely to beat them, than the Eagles.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
