  • 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.

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Well done to DemonDave & Dee Zephyr in gaining 2 points this week - very well earned as they had to tip away from the Chiefs!

Anyway, we're all on the board now with 10 points up for grabs in the last 5 weeks (plus a bonus point available in those 5 weeks)

It's been a real test of patience for all of us in such a weird tipping year but I'm reminded that points are easier to gain at the tail-end of the season - good luck you blokes!

Love looked great today @Macca

He looked as calm in the pocket as a vet. 

I listened to the whole match and the regular Packer commentators were quite impressed with Love's game.  Made a lot of smart decisions from the pocket

The team matched the Chiefs all game too so were worthy winners

But the team is the youngest in the league so hiccups will occur.  Run home isn't tough so we might fill a wild-card spot (vying with half a dozen teams along with your Rams, Gorg!)

49ers super impressive. they are pantsing the Eagles.

Purdy was fantastic and the 49ers are going to be hard to stop

Going into Philadelphia's home field and winning that way was mighty impressive

Of course, in this sport anything can happen and TD's can be scored from fumbles, interceptions or run backs so you never know

Your Cowboys aren't far off leading the NFC East now

Might be decided next Monday night - Eagles @ Dallas!

Dak playing well. He has options now other than Lamb. Ferguson at TE is playing very well and is developing into a reliable outlet.

Coughing up a lot of points though. Conceding 30-35 points a game won't cut it.

We've been here before with the Cowboys. Look the part but fold when playing quality opposition. Let's see how they go against the Eagles. 

Your boys showing a bit.

Blacked out everything and was prepared to lay the smackdown on any spoilers but made it to 5:30 yesterday.

The Eagles came out flexing their muscles while we couldn't generate any offense at all. Could have easily been another whitewash but in one of the first times on record known to man, Kyle made adjustments and went to a more pass first approach with screens. The classic example of the West Coast offense and using pass plays as if they're running plays.

Purdy utilised the weapons around him but I thought he played a fantastic game after what happened last time. 

The NFC is livened up now and I can't wait to see Eagles and Boys. December will be good viewing peeps. Sit back and enjoy.

    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,
