  • 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 offer my sincere condolences for my error, thought this was a footy forum, not an English course by correspondence

Don't take me too seriously! Just thought you might like to know for future reference. I certainly understand that this is a footy forum.

I wasn't taking it seriously, hence my out of context reply......I had a good laugh..first reply I typed was 'what are you implying'.......just annoyed me that somebody was possibly s*** stirring about a function on the board...... lot's of posters going to support the team in Darwin and don't want it spoilt.....

Couldn't resist. Booked my ticket this afternoon and off to Darwin TONIGHT!!! Actually about to go to the airport for my red eye special. 1st interstate game ever for me. I'll be trying to get to training at 19:30 Friday evening if I can. I'll be wearing a Demons guernsey (as I'm sure all the others will as well). Anyone going for post match bevvies? Maybe post a venue if you know a good one and some of us demonlanders can meet up.

Not many pubs near the ground so your best bet will be getting back into the city and head down Mitchell Street there are lots of pubs down the street. Monsoons, Shenanigans and The Tap are a few good ones.

I'm at Monsoon's on Mitchell St. They do a good pizza...

We just had a bit of rain just before... Nothing too heavy, but pretty refreshing with the humidity!

It's been pretty random this week though and they dont' reckon it'll be gne until about Monday or Tuesday so it looks like it will make for pretty tough conditions come Saturday night...

I also rang AFL NT before and have been told that training is at 19:15-20:00 (pretty short session!) at TIO Stadium Friday night, so once again, if anyone's keen, I'll be there, drop me a line on D.L.

So pumped for the game, my mate works up here for a local radio station (Mad dees supporter) and is doing the MC ing for the game!

PS where is everyone sitting? I'm in 'Green 2' in the stand...

Does anyone know if TIO has a electronic scoreboard..ie: for replays??

lol...sorry im a local...that made me laugh.

Sadly we do not...

Though if you do have questions about Darwin ask away.

This rain is not normal for this time of the year. There is usually less humidity and the weather is perfect.

Great to see a few Melbourne lads making the trip up here to support. The last time the Deez came up was for a NAB cup game and to be a Darwin Dee and see a crowd full of Melbourne supporters was quite a spectacle. And just a quick heads up. The boys will be picking up their afternoon snacks from Nando's Chicken on Smith St in Darwin City at 4.30pm for anyone wanting to catch the lads. The weather up here was actually quite cool a few days ago but when Aussie was selected the rain came back. He is 'Da Rainmaker!!!'

There has been a bit of precipitation about, but it generally only lasts for a short period. Kakadu was sensational. Back in Darwin and pumped. For those who aren't aware, there are free buses to the ground from Cavenagh Street outside Woolworths. I found this out from the lady at the Darwin Entertainment Center where I picked up my tickets. You just line up with the other fans and get on the buses that will be running regularly up to gametime. Also, there were heaps of dees fans on my plane up here Thursday night. Looks like the ground will be a sea of red and blue. Shame Liam Jurrah isn't playing. The locals would LOVE to see him in the red and blue and would flock to the ground.

Well that was a good bit of fun, albeit a very short training session,

Big emphasis on the slippery conditions tonight with the players practicing a lot of ground level kicks and drills.

The boys then headed straight to the freezer room next to ground for about ten minutes straight after and were nowhere to be seen after that...

As for the ground, a lot different to anything you'll see down south, rather a very spongy 'couch' turf up here (most pitches in melbourne are rye) but very slippery and wet from the rain we had earlier today... Looks like it'll be more or less the same for tomorrow night, should be a cracker.

had a good chat to Scotty West too and said the gloves helped him when he played the last few years so expect a few to be wearing them tomoro night.

Interesting to note that Spencer at the shops today when I spoke to him told me that he was an emergency... Possibly Nev Jetta will take his place , when I asked Dean Bailey tonight he was pretty coy and said that Spencer "is every chance to play".

He also said that Wona "has played two games in the VFL and we could have waited another week, but he needs to play some senior football"

lol straight from the horses mouth, hopefully Jetta gets the nod.

    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,
