  • 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.

I remember a few years ago, when we were a Finals team, we were playing a Lions side at the Gabba that were bereft of their best players due to injury. We became quite warm favourites due to their 'outs'.

Naturally, we were thumped.

They interviewed our mate Trav Johnstone, and TJ indicated that there are plenty of players that can take Browny's spot if he doesn't get up.

Sounds like something that moron would say

They have plenty of other game-smashing super champion goalkickers down at Brissy that can come in

I think we were beaten before we took the field against Brisbane for a few years, in fact even when they were the whipping boys of the competition we used to struggle against them.

Disappointing.

I was looking at this week showing us where we are at as a team against a quality side, and I was really wanting to see how Chipper, Warnock and our backline would perform up against two massive units.

I'm not complaining about it at all, it should make the job a little easier for the guys, but i do love watching our up and comers and how they approach playing on a superstar.

Don't Worry, we will have many more opportunities to play the Twin Towers-Right now Game Time & Cohesion is what our backline needs

Playing against Brown & co with another 15 odd games under the Belt can only help.

Bailey has got to make sure they ALL stay focused. It's still going to be one hell of a game.

Will they wear the "Paddle Pop" jumper????

anyone reckon we should have chip and warnock on fev?

one of them try to block his lead?

just a suggestion haha :)

If Brown is out play Chip on Fev & get him to run off him all night. Fevola won't be able to go with him up the ground.

Hmm.. possible merit in trying to cut out Fev completely by focusing on him, and rotating the freshest possible opponent on Brown. He may be hit for every attacking thrust and kick eight in three quarters, but he'll be buggered for the last. It'll be like Nathan Thompson's big day out which ended because Carroll kept running him onto the wing.

Other than that, we'd have to be trying to lay a tackles record. No tactic in defence is going to work if those two are getting good delivery.

In the meantime, we've also got to just keep on attacking like crazy people. There's going to be a bunch kicked against us, we just gotta get one more.

There's my plan - cut out Fev so Brown has to do all the work/leads, tackle like mad, and keep pouring on the attack.

Not impossible.

Good news for us. Also their pinch hitting forwards (Clark, Luey) won't be suited to the conditions at all. Our small, quick forward line will work in our favour.

Lets smash em and get in the 8.

God some people on this site are so anal retentive and smart arses. We can't all be Phd's in spelling (who would want to be, you must have such a happy and interesting life). I thought this site was all about the celebration of the wonderful MFC to which anyone could contribute no matter what their education and income. Unfortunately there are some melb supporters who think membership of the MCC and the ownership of an Old Melburnians tie (both of which I have but you are welcome to them) is more important than contributing to the progress of the team of the red and the blue.

Some of our fellow supporters are so far up themselves it is not funny.

You see, the thing about Melbourne supporters is they take pride in edumacation.

It stops them from doing dumb stuff like comparing Jack Watts to Luke Molan, then mouthing off about 'contributing to the progress of the team of the red and the blue'.

Most of the time.

Shattering news. I was truly looking forward to watching him live at the G on a saturday night. Any chance you get to watch one the greatest forwards of our time take on melbourne is one worth watching.

I remember watching Carey destroy us one friday night, kicked 10 I think from memory. I was pretty young but I will never forget it. Not saying I like watching my team being torn to bits but its something you cant help but admire.

No excuses now, Brisbane are not ST Kilda and will struggle without Brown. There are a few little things beginning to go are way. Big chance if we can bring the intensity of the past weeks

    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

    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,
