  • 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 Tigers might be good enough to beat us even with a few of our better players back. I would save the likes of Bail, Hughes and Zomer for the North and Freo games.

no! THIS WEEK is the real danger game.

North are a decent and competitive team. they will beat us. We will beat Freo they are really that terrible.

Thus we absolutely MUST lose this week!

The big problem is Sylvia. Eligible to play this week, but if we're tanking, he shouldn't.

In: Bail/Buckley

Out: Jurrah (inj)

If we must bring in Sylvia, then we have to drop Davey. Those two in the midfield means we might break even.

Sylvia can't go straight back in!

He's underdone after a few weeks off - he must pay his penance and earn his senior spot with a week or 4 in the VFL.

Tanking or not, there's no way Colin won't come straight back into the team.

In regards to changes, i'd like to see anyone who's under ANY sort of injury cloud or niggle be given the week off.

OUT: Jurrah (ankle), Cheney (calf), Martin (injury)

IN: Sylvia, Hughes, Jetta

Ahhh, he has done his "penance" with been out for 3 weeks.

He would be fitter than most of the side - given he has 3 weeks to get over sore spots & has been doing extra tarining sessions due to not playing.

Richmond looked pretty good today. They will be keen to make amends for earlier in the year.

Richmond are better than Sydney.

We are no chance.

From the small amount of posts I have read it seems as though we played pretty [censored] today, and I saw the Richmond game and they played well. I think we will lose by about 30 points so lets not stress.

Again, the angrier you get the harder it will be.

Disappointment would be a better emotion, it'll help you move on.

Remember we're doing this so you can have two shiny toys to play with instead of one. Toys that will help us win lots of games of footy.

True Believer - "But I want to win games of footy now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ok, big guy.

Can somebody get True Believer 'AFL Premiership 2007' on the PS2?

It'll keep him occupied...

How confident are you? Don't kid yourself, the Toigs are a terrible football side, helped by an out-and-out champion who is still capable of stringing a few games together. My concern is that they'll drop off again having won a good one. Are they good enough to put two together? Will Cousins back it up? Will he get injured?

Only one change for this week.

Colin in, take your pick out.

If the past few weeks are a precedent we'll probably have someone suffering an unexpected injury late in the week.

If Cousins plays like he did against Essendon yesterday, we'll struggle but I don't want to give too much away because I think I'm doing this week's match report.

Sylvia should have 1 run at Casey before returning. Why rush him in? Will play against Freo.

Not sure on how bad Jurrahs injury is but if he is not 100 % dont play him!

Would like not to make any unforced changes.

Need to look at certain players that are on the fringe before the season ends and that includes a few from the team yesterday.

Richmond will get confidence with the win they had, they have played decent for the last three weeks now.

5 weeks of pain to go! Short term pain...Long term gain!

Come on Dees!

Don't get complacent. They've had their win and will be happy with themselves.

Port was great against the Lions and then served up slop against us. Bottom teams do that. Bulldogs 07.

It's a critical 4 weeks.

Have your pick for INS. OUT: Davey

Sylvia will come back in....

I want to see Rohan Bail, Simon Buckley and Danny Hughes get a run.

Especially Hughes. Think he would be quite good in the seniors.

If anyone is injured they should be rested.... any niggles at all.

Perhaps Bruce and Davey could have a bad stitch!!

    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

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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

    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,
