  • 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.


Hurry up and finish this season!!!!!

It's clear to see the path the club is taking to maximise draft picks this year, but today just sucked!

Sitting in the crowd surrounded by those arrogant, moronic, pathetic human beings that are Carlton supporters, I wanted nothing more than for us to [censored] their joke of a team, but I knew before even turning up to the game we were never serious about winning.

Every time Judd came to the bench, it was almost a standing ovation by the morons around me.

I know the path we are taking, and the need to land the top 2 picks in the draft, but I would have given that extra pick up today to see us beat those clowns.

Very, very tough to sit through and watch, and little wonder so few of us actually turned up to cheer us on!

Um, they are a sh!tload better than us.

We didn't need any incentive to lose.

We're crap.

Agreed they are at present a better team, but we weren't without a chance of winning that game under normal circumstances.

We go in with 3 ruckman, McLean plays forward for most of the game, Frawley comes off for a break to give McNamara experience on Fev..........all fine for development, but not going to win us the game.

One of those ruckmen, and it was 4 ruckmen if you count PJ, kicked 5 goals and Martin and Spencer weren't given a bath.

And McLean couldn't have been a huge loss - we won the clearances.

McNamara on Fevola is an interesting one as I only saw a couple of Fev goals that were kicked on him.

What I am saying is that some of these supposed 'experiments' actually worked in our favour and we still lost by 10 goals.

We are awful. We let in 64 Inside 50s!

This tanking/experiemental/list management debate ended after the NM loss. The PP has been ours since then.

If you thought we had a chance against Carlton because we beat Freo last week you are setting yourself up for a fall.

Yeah, we might do them over next year but we will need a summer in the gym, a suitable amount of skill work, and Scully, Trengove, Watts, Blease, Bennell, Maric, Grimes, Wonaeamirri, Garland, Warnock, Green, and Bruce.

Amen to that! This season has been most unenjoyable and needs to finish! Plenty of good signs - grimes, jurrah, frawley etc etc, and a nice new set of draft picks - but i hate losing

I thought we played alright for the first 2 and half quarters we didnt have our best side in and we nearly went goal for goal. Frawley was great on Fev early, but i think Morton was on Garlett and he tore us apart.

We were never going to win but was great to see Nev Jetta run around the middle, and any game with Jurrah playing always gets me excited

The experiment is worth pursuing. Good for today and next week as well. The season is well and truly munted so why not see who can do what? Even if we had our best cattle on the park it would have been a stretch to believe we could beat Carltons mids. I don't like the tanking stuff (aka the Richmond game) but against teams we will lose against why not see who can do what - and more importantly who can't - so we can delist those that have obvious flaws or are too one dimentional for this ever changing game. I hope we give people a good chance to show they can play different positions next week for that reason. Imagine uncovering a kid that can tag a Del Santo or spoil a Riewolt? Worth the pain I think.

    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
