  • 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.

How great is this ... and how incompetent is the AFL not to have managed to put a stream up somewhere.

Hopeless, just hopeless. They're still back in the dark ages when it comes to media/internet etc. No TV, no problem with that, but hell, what a missed opportunity.

Hahahaaaaaaaaaa JURRAHCANE you little RIPSNORTER!!!! :)

Yes it's JUST an exhibition match where both sides were missing QUALITY players but a win overseas in Shanghai will do wonders for our pre-season training etc.

It has capped off what has been a wonderful week for the Demons.

I certainly hope there will be some highlights on Ch 7 or Fox like was mentioned earlier in this thread.

Love ya Melbourne. :)

You make a good point about the AFL being in the "dark ages" when it comes to anything much happening outside Australia, but to be fair, there was an exclusive broadcast deal with a Chinese channel, who I would imagine could have asked for an unrealistic amount of money to broadcast elsewhere.

Evene the Australia Network (ABC's Satellite channel) didn't have it and they are normally very good with AFL - more games and better time spots, than Rugby League.

My beef is with Big Pond rather than the TV channels.

Although they manage the MFC website (unfortuately) they don;t seem to be able to show us singing when we win - if one lives outside Australia. Similarly DB's post match interview or any other interviews.

I can understand them not showing the game, unless one pays, but not club events and news items etc.

I wouldn't even mind if they made it members only.

Bah humbug to Big Pond !

Go Dees !!

Hahahaha jcb, are you in some way trying to take credit or do you think this match somehow proves your point..?

No-Enforcer- not saying I am right for ONCE- mainly reposted as to say- this is a very important point in our future history.To put on an exhibition like they must have-in my opinion and I would think your as well- will or may assist us with possible increase in sponsorship, membership etc.. at least it will not hurt- don't you agree?

Well said.

Although it may appear as JUST an exhibition game with minimal "star players" playing... the fact it was played overseas and broadcast to an audience the AFL are trying to tap into means wins are quite beneficial to draw attention!!!

Exciting. Cheers Jurrah.

NO, Nature is a force of Jurrah

Jurrah doesn't kick goals he wills them

Could he be australia's first indigenous saint?

We need a thread filled with these.

*ahem*

Alright then... celebrations are great, but did we gain any injuries during the match? It's important we keep injuries to a minimum due to it being pre-season! The lead-up to the 2011season is critical for our boys.

- Jamar: minor injury perhaps?? Went off and then came back on to kick a goal and set up another.

- Garland: biggest concern. What happened to him after BT said (and I quote). "Garland goes down and looks hurt..."?

Apologies for the rubbish ICS feed on smgbb.cn - no idea what was going on with the bushland backdrop.

The broadcast looked great on TV over here, aside from the fact that we couldn't get audio from the staduim until half way through the first, meaning we had to commentate from the studio.

Jurrah had a field day, 5 goals, half a dozen more chances and he made it all look easy.

Really impressed with Col today, broke the lines and kicked long. Always dangerous.

They were the standout players.

Newton was tried in defense, got a bit of it. Most of the other players drifted in and out of the game.

At WJ's request I'm going to try to get a DVD of the game from the studio that we can distribute to you all.

Cloning is still a long way off, better to find a harem of brides and produce little Jurrahs ASAP. Father/sons in 18yrs. Just play him for every game 4 the next 4 yrs so he gets to 100 games regardless of form, would hate for him not to reach the qualification for any reason, I'd rather rush it through. A Essendon friend who was at the game was very big Kev "excited" about the Jurrahcane.

Yes please Wise! My twitter and facebook pages were in overdrive this afternoon - I did my bit to get it out there to the world!

Nice work in the studio btw - you present well.

Hate to be the one to bring it up but where there any injuries? I read something about being short on the bench.

the one short they were talking about is stemming from Tommy Scully flying home to be with family.

    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,
