  • 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.

Where would the Melbourne Football Club be without Brad Green.

The guy is a star!!

Gets knocked out in the first qtr, and is taken off the field in a neck brace

Comes back on the the third qtr, kicks 2 goals, is our only effective foward, and would be close to BOG for the Dees!

That's what leadership is all about!

Where is that leadership from the rest of our senior blokes???

Apologies to James Mac who gave 110% as per usual

couldn't agree more. Also after being knocked out, 3rd Q runs back into a contest! star

Bruce played in the backline, sometimes as our loose man and had no influence. Hawks loose man and defensive line cut us apart while our extra man did squat.

He was useless back there so why not play Bruce forward. Let our 2 most experience players play in an area where we are hurting. It's not like Bruce has exquisite skills rebounding.

Green, Bruce, Bate, Petterd, Jamar, resting mid. And for the love of god stop playing so close to each other. Stop running to the same spots and going for the same ball. Spread out a little bit and give yourself or team mate a chance.

When he did that, it convinced me he should be the next captain of our football club.

This from a bloke who has had multiple facial injuries in the past and was carried off on a stretcher the quarter prior.

Unbelievable courage.

I would like to point out also the assist he gave to (I think) Miller. Rubbish kick to his lead, the moment he realised he couldn't mark it he was looking around and assessing. He spotted Miller, took the ball turned and kicked blind right to him for an uncontested mark and goal. How many of our players could have done that?

AGREED. And this is for a guy who chose to stay with us instead of go to the Pies. He'd have every right to be bitter that he's given up the chance to play in a premiership contender but you'd never know it the way he goes 100% in everything he does.

Legend. Enough of this rubbish trying to attach the "next captain" tag to every new young player that comes through the system, this guy is it.

100% agree. I'd argue he's our only A-grade player at present

No doubting he's the best player on our list at the moment. I said the same thing last year. I'm just hoping he's able to enjoy some better times before the curtains close on his career. He'd be a fantastic second fiddle midfielder in an elite midfield.

    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,

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
