  • 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.

If we only can win one more

Doesn't matter...

But if I could dream, our 4th win of the year would be a round 22 victory over St Kilda against all odds. And after losing to Richmond, Nth, Freo and Carlton in the lead-up, i'll have the fortunate foresight to put $1000 on the Dee's at the very healthy odds of $15 to beat the Saints, who'd be 21-0 at that stage.. Not gonna happen :(

Most likely to beat Freo, but to be honest i really couldn't care less, as long as it's not 5 wins...

I would gladly lose the Freo game if it means we beat Rapetank and destroy their finals hopes.

It's tipped as being Fremantle, however I would hope for all our sake that it would be round 22 against the Saints so we can feel relief before a game and play to win knowing we have secured two early picks.

A draw in each of the final two rounds.

But seriously, it's gotta be the Saints. I can't wait until this season is over to barrack for my team again, but I'd love it if we were on 3 wins and were actually able to have a sneak preview of what it's like to barrack for your team again, if only for one week. Plus, it's one thing to snatch one by a couple of goals against a club who has nothing to play for. It's another entirely to ruin the Saints perfect season, and beat the best team in the league to make people raise their eyebrows.

And as a side note, in that scenario if Freo beat us and no-one else, they'll be on 4 wins too. Which would mean that we might be fighting our way off the bottom of the ladder if our percentage was good enough. 15th, no wooden spoon and picks 1 and 3. Scully and Trengrove with a WC midfielder staying at home to play for Freo.

Athankew.

I would like to beat Carlton - but if we win another game it will most likely be Freo

Much as I'd like to thrash Carlton, I think I'd prefer to not win any of the remaining games and get the best possible picks. It would ensure us bottom spot, putting us ahead of Freo and should WC somehow slip up and win another one it would guarantee us the top two picks. Winning is simply not worth it at this point.

That's the first time i have seen that written in all these last few weeks.

Would really stuff up Worsfolds plans if we got home winless from here.

Good post. Bigus

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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,
