  • 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.

NOT HAPPY, JAN!!!

Stinkin' Channel 7 have stolen the early game to televise today (Foxtel's coverage), instead of the 2pm game which they are supposed to show. Usually when this garbage happens, Foxtel shows the 2pm game on Main Event. Not today, folks!!!!

I am NOT impressed! Will have to content myself with audio feed of the game from one of the radio stations, via internet. Replay not until 7:30pm on Foxtel.

Did I happen to say I hate Channel 7 and their arrogant approach to their broadcast rights??!!!!!!

We deserve better!

Same rubbish in Canberra & Southern NSW. We get the Sydney game on free to air AND Foxtel at the same time.

What local game? It's Sydney vs North Melbourne.

Agree, it's pathetic. When similar nonsence occurred last year and the year before, I wrote to the AFL and the fta TV station expressing my frustration at this lunacy. Guess what? ...... no replies on either occasion! Hopeless!

That's disgraceful.

I can understand them putting the local game on FTA, but surely the dees would get a foxtel spot. What a joke

The Foxtel games are all allocated before the season starts. Ch.7 is at fault, and they couldn't care less!

Its a disgrace......

Channel 7 you have your schedules games to cover and should only been changed when you have to cover Lions games. Having foxtel is imperative in NSW & QLD to support your team but not even showing the game on main event is a shambles.

I'm in the same boat and sadly saw this coming. The sunday double-up has happened quite regularly throughout the season. The coverage to the northern states has definitely worsened since the last deal. It's pretty hard to justify maintaining foxtel when my wife wants to have her monthly 'budget chats' and I pull out the, "it's all about the Melbourne games" retort.

I can understand the problem when a Brisbane game is on Foxtel, and they double it up on Free-to-Air as well. It creates interest in the "local" team, which gives the game more coverage in a Rugby League dominated state. I don't see the problem showing the game that "misses out" on the main event/518 channel on Austar/Foxtel.

Today's games are Syd v Nth (1pm), Melb v Ess (2pm), Carl v WB (4pm). Channel 7 and Fox are sharing the 1st game, then Fox showing the twilight game. Channel 7 will be showing the V8's during our game, which is what they have to do because of the rights for that. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for our game not to be on Channel 7, and if, because of TV rights for other sports, this clashes with something else, it should be on either Channel 7two, or Main Event.

Again, the AFL need to be held responsible for this.

It also didn't happen when Channel 9 had the rights.......

Basically the networks swapped the broadcast when a Sydney game was scheduled on Foxtel so it would be seen on free to air in the host city.

This hasn't happened in the last four years or so, to any game on a Sunday that happens to clash with a Swans game.

Now we just get the same game twice :rolleyes: !!!

Not as bad, but why is the game on at 330 today on 7?

V8's.

Why do stations commit to two different sporting contracts, when they know that both events are on at the same time?!? At least when 10 had the V8's, they were smart enough to take the saturday games, so that they could put a good effort into both sports. The way 7 do it just means that the fans get a raw deal either way.

I couldn't believe it when I saw this in the paper. Watched 5 minutes of the Sydney match and fell asleep. Outrageous that ours is the only match not to be carried by any station live.

Well, I am in Thailand and the Australia Network (ABC Satellite)for most of this year,have shown the MCG Sunday game starting at 11:30am - 30min delay. But for some reason today, they have a bum sniffers Rugby League game on at 1:00pm - not even a major game like ours (Penrith Panstyers v Auckland Worriers)! Then at 3:00pm is the Carlton v Scraggers.

My only guess is, the programmers are from Sydeny or New Zollen???

Just had a look at the AFL website, all of our games until round 20 against Hawthorn will be shown live in Brisbane....

Unfortunately on that Sunday, the lions are playing as well....

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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

    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,
