  • 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.

They looked like Demon players and officiated like they were Bulldogs.

I have two dreadful turnovers burned in my brain from tonight, where Melb players gave off quick handballs straight to the umpires (one out of the centre in the last). I'm sure I'm going to have nightmares over them.

According to a caller to radio, we complained to the AFL during the week about the umpires' uniform only to be told it was bad luck and had already been decided. Hardly surprising when you have muppets running the joint.

What a joke. Leave the awareness raising to the clubs, there was no need for those prancing prima-donnas to be put in pink. I'm sure they all already wear pink shirts during the week when they are out and about on commercial rd, surely they could have spent their Friday night in yellow.

Complete and utter garbage. I spent the whole game watching those 'extra demons players' being considered by our team as potential targets, and that one in the last with 2-3 minutes to go where it was clearly handballed to the umpire - turnover - bang goal, i apologise to the people around me... i saw RED. That was the problem - so did Bartram!

Gutted. The boys worked so bloody hard. Very proud of their effort.

Devils advocate here, but the bloody umpires would have also looked like extra Demons bearing down when the doggies had the ball - so they should have been annoyed as well!

Just watch the delayed telecast here in the west. A game we should have won. I wont talk about the umpire overruling goal umpires and shocking decisions for out on the full.

But I have to ask why did the umpires where red on their tops. More than once we handball directly to them obviously when catching a glimpse of red out of a pack. The club should make an official complaint.

Aren't they meant to wear their clash jumpers, maybe yellow...

Why not dress the umpires in Melbourne jumpers next week... maybe it'll help them pay a decision in our favour for once! :rolleyes:

Oh honey, I doubt it ;) !!!

And the umpire colouring didn't make viewing any easier on TV either, especially in the wet.

And this is something you would think that the AFL in all their self righteous wisdom would take into account.

What a disgraceful headline for that article. If anyone has been left red-faced it is surely the AFL. I encourage Demonland posters to flood footy talkback with complaints and rants this weekend. If nothing it will show the football world that, contrary to popular opinion, we do have lots of passionate fans.

best thing i have ever read, they would replay the match 200 times till the pies won, they would make it a public holiday and they would send the umpires would be shot.

Interesting to hear Gia on gameday say that at times the doggies players thought there was an extra opponent closing or filling space.

I guess it works both ways.

Just don't let it happen again.

    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,

    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.
