  • 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.

    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

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
