    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.

Tips, opinions, game day analysis.

NTNewsFrontPageBIG.jpg

I think it'll be a very hard game to win. Needs to be low scoring for the Demons to get up, and we need to see a return to the hard tackling, high pressure side we saw against the likes of Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs.

My tip: Port by 24.

Grey clouds rolling in.

Might benefit us. Thought we played pretty well in the wet against the dogs. The Power are not even close to the dogs in terms of class. That's what cost us in the end... a lack of class against the ogs. Would be happy to see slippery conditions.

Having said that, been up here in Darwin for a few days and the rain has been in short sharp stints. 5-10 mins at a time. I think it will be greasy regardless of what happens (due to humidity). Rain shouldn't affect the game much unless it occurs during the game for a prolonged period, which seems unlikely considering the pattern of the last few days.

I will be at the Bentleigh club for the game-hope to see a few demonlanders there in full voice.

Shall see you there in that case. I love screaming at that hopeless rear-projection TV they have up in the Members' Bar.

I really should invest in a Foxtel subscription, but I hate the idea of having to pay for television WITH advertising! Plus, the atmosphere at the social club is always better than on the couch at home.

i think the conditions will favour the team with the more mature bodies tonight, as it did with the doggies game, that was the only difference that night we were clearly the beater team against the doggies

Yeah, we are usually up in the Members' Bar (ie. away from the plebs) with 100% Demons. Last few times there have probably been 20 or 30 there, but I would expect maybe a few more tonight!? Apparently they will be serving fingerfood and other nibbles at half time, which is pretty good as no entry is charged.

I really hope we get off to a good start. If we do, we could definitely win this.

This year we've generally come out and played well the week after a poor loss, and Bate being out is not going to be so crucial given the conditions. If ever a forwardline of Jetta, Bennell and Aussie were going to win us a game, this is the week.

I'll try and post updates as I've got Foxtel.

Aussie, Nev, Miller and Morton to Play

Before you Jump down my throat.

You will find Warnock was a very very very late call. Bit sore, long flight and PA have a very short forward line. This one was late decision

And dont be surprised if Spencer doesnt play and Jetta does!!!!

*From a different thread*

Good work Bails.

Bailey said on Fox Sports that Jurrah is another 4-5 weeks away, and he again mentioned Gysberts. I reckon the kid would have played if the game was in Melbourne, and will probably play next week.

I can understand why they would want to debut him in Victoria, so he can have family and friends coming to watch him.

Oh and I laughed at the excuse Bailey was trying to come up with in regards to the late change. Spencer's back didn't come up after the long flight. LMAO. Good lies Bailey, good lies.

Yeah, I noticed all of that too. Are we the side with the most indigenous players in it this round? We have 4.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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
