    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.

Yep, i reckon the undercover seats in the old red seat section we've been "upgrading" ourselves into will be occupied before too long and we'll be in our non weather proof reserved seats (seats i haven't needed to sit in yet this year ;-)

But plenty of parking at the G for more bandwagons, roll up roll up!

Been saying it for years, the Dees fans are some of the loudest going around.

Some of our friends got accussed as being more patriotic that Collingwood supporters- we took that as a huge compliment. Go JD & FAMILY.

The international students will have helped. But 36,000+ is a fantastic result.

Not many other clubs could pull that much vs Brisbane on a coldish, wettish Saturday night.

And it's been said, but I'll say it again. 30,000 Melbourne supporters sound like 60,000 supporters from any other club.

I sit in the MCC and sometimes find myself frustrated with lack of noise, but the MCC always have the loudest cheers at the ground.

With regards to the crowd, it was a fantastic surprise to see the 36,000 number up on the board and about 16,000 more than I expected or thought were there. I must say though, there were a lot of Brisbane people (in fact we were outnumbered where we were) and then there were 6,000 international students. I would have said there was between 8,000 to 10,000 Brisbane people, but still a good turn out on a wet ordinary night. It is good to see all the Melbourne "supporters" back. It was about half full Saturday night in the Kaspersky seating and by the end of the season and next, I hope we have them full. When we're doing well, both wings are quite full too. We can get 40,000 members with Jimmy's board in place next season, providing we reach 8 to 10 wins and hold onto all our young talent.

Agreed. I still remember a game against Port Adelaide a couple of seasons ago, when only 9,000 attended, but that day we sounded like 60,000.

I was thinking god I hope we get 20,000 to the game jsut so we don't have to hand out a cheque. So when 36,000 was posted up on the screen I was rapt. If that game was a year ago we would have got half that, probably less. Trust me I sit in the mcc memebrs (Yes im also a MFC member) and there was a lot of noise going on. Trengove practially got a standing ovation when he came off after kicking his 1st goal. Michael Roberts kept saying on the radip about us supporters and how much noise we are making. I loved the atmosphere last night.

No chance 8-10,000 Brisbane fans. You were at another game I think. There were max 3-5000 Brisbane fans. If 6000 were international students and 10,000 were Brisbane, there would only have been 20,000 Dees fans. We outnumbered them by waaaaaaaaay more than 2:1 last night.

On the train in to the G, I noticed a sea of Melbourne fans flocking to the game. I go on the same train about the same amount of time before every game and there are not usually that many Melbourne fans on the train. Not even close. I reckon next home game will be a massive turn-up if we beat the Roos.

Just watching the replay on afl.com.au now, and I'm not sure if it's Foxtel having their FX-mic turned up to the max, but when that disgusting free-kick was paid against Bennell for the "bump" I could have sworn there were 70,000 there. I know I was one of them going ape shizen in the MCC members, and pretty much everyone around us was going off.

Third week in a row now that I have lost my voice completely.

I sound like somebody slashed my vocal chords.

Good to have big crowds again, but sitting in my reserved seating, I always feel a slight sense of anger towards the people who have suddenly started turning up again. Where were you in the last two years? :unsure:

I only managed to get there at 3/4, but was so impressed with the noise generated by the crowd.

Bring on the Roos! Hopefully we can get a massive crowd for that one as well.

Just because we aren't sitting in our reserved seat doesn't mean we aren't there. I upgraded to a redleg seat this year but haven't used it because people keep wanting to come with us, I've been sitting in GA and hard selling our future to prospective members.

We've promised ourselves we'll use them against the Bullies, friday night, big game, gotta christen our seats. Can't wait to use my upgraded membership for the first time.

The loudest roar was that insanely stupid decision against Bennell, just about everyone around us was standing and screaming! Great crowd, let's hope for many more!

    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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
