  • 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.

ohhh yeah!!

I thought he played well today too. But I wouldn't go as far as saying he's a 'very good footballer'. Average at best. Can't see what you've based that comment on.

can't speak for rollo2, but we are related and I think he knows what I know...

bartram and dunn had the very best coaching/training from their junior years...

they are team, team, team players and we need them if we are going to win that elusive premiership...

I doubt the rest of our team are not team players.

I also doubt these two will be there when we lift the cup.

Calling someone a 'very good player' based on one game is a bit rich. Especially considering a lot of his other games have been mediocre.

Like I said, a good game, and he keeps his spot no question. But I wouldn't go calling him anything more than an average player.

Well for some here who say he is a butcher he shut them up.

And he hasn't played one good game, he's actually played a good season - his first one before he did his ankle against the Crows.

This win is great! It is great for confidence, 4 points, and good memories.. However, if we keep making basic skill errors under pressure we will NEVER beat a top 4 team.

Bigger picture people. 4 points great but bigger picture... hopefuly we will have the confidence of gods for next week and the week after... Go Dees!!

I'm sick of this attitude.

There you are in your comfortable self-righteousness looking down at the rest of us - the easily pleased unwashed - and saying that we don't see the "bigger picture" and that we will never beat a top 4 team when we make basic skill errors. 'No sh!t' to that last part but come on, we are talking about beating top 4 teams now? We are talking about making a semi(which is the reward for being 'top 4')?

We have won the last two wooden spoons and won one game in 2010 with a team that is younger than Rd 22, 2009. Enjoy the up and down year (mainly the last one) where these kids develop and fail, and start to fail less, and start on their way.

Fans looking at the "bigger picture" just want to sound like the sane one in the asylum with the foresight to know what areas need to be improved and what problems we are facing.

Hey! I know that stuff, but I am going to enjoy the sh!tty win against the Crows and the gallant loss against Collingwood.

This season is all about seeing the team try and fail (they just are not good enough yet) and I am going to enjoy the ride.

Who is with me?!

I have to say, we very nearly did beat a top 4 team. Had a couple of umpiring calls gone the right way we would have taken the Pies. Nobody can say they don't qualify as a top side.

So yes, I am very much with you and happy with what we saw on the weekend.

Not me! I propose to start a thread every other week saying we should sack Yoda, and on alternate weeks saying we will win the flag.

I hate being bi-polar. It's fantastic.

I'm with you totally. These guys are incredible, the instant, the exact moment we stop being the league's whipping boys and looking a team that might emerge from the bottom 4, they start being critical and underwhelmed that we are not premiership contenders. There will be occasions this year where we put in a shocker and get done badly, you watch these heroes come straight out and tell us how right there were. ONE STEP AT A TIME BOYS. OUT OF THE BOTTOM 4, MAKE THE FINALS, PUSH DEEP IN THE FINALS, GRAND FINAL DAY. We are on a long road and ahead of where we should be right now and when you look at our games per player stat combined with the players we have out combined with the young talent that hasn't even got started yet and the picture is very, very good. You hear me talking Rhino?

Melbourne Best: A Davey J Bennell L Dunn M Warnock R Bail M Bate J Frawley

To be honest i think they have got that wrong

Seems a bit churlish of them to have left out Junior. And the Russian played well too.

I'll take it as comes. One win at a time. I've been a supporter for 46 years and every time we've been rated as something we've always come down with a thud. The year that eats my craw the most is 1990 when Collingwood won the flag. The Dee's were widely regarded as favourites before the finals. The draw between Collingwood and West Coast gave us another week off to high five and congratulate each other before the Dee's blew it in a shocker against West Coast. The only reason Collingwood won was because Melbourne wasn't in the GF.

    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,
