  • 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.

Anyone know where, and at what time the intraclub match is? I think I read somewhere a few weeks ago that it was scheduled for friday week, but I have not heard anything since.

Did the club announce something, and it has just flown under my radar, or is it still TBA?

Still TBA.or TBC.

I find it very annoying that they are having it on a Friday. If you are retired, unemployed or someone who has felxibility with their hours then it is fine, but the vast majority of us just have to miss out. Why not Saturday?

well hopefully they make it a twilight hit out. i'm flying in to Melbourne on friday afternoon, so it'd be awesome if it's say 6.00pm, olympic park, with a bbq for the families.

I loved going to last year's match in Casey. Such a positive vibe. I hope we lose our nab cup games so we can have another nab challenge down there.

Yeah I love Casey too, the ground and facilities always look a million bucks, you are surrounded by demons only, and it retains that intimate suburban feel where you just stand there with a can haveing a look, its a great atmosphere. Why on Earth the club would decide to NOT provide this again this year is beyond me, they would have made a bit of coin last year on those matches too

The only thing I can think of is that they don't want to interrupt their regular regime by having a session on Sat instead of Fri.. but that's not a good enough reason for mine

There is a club poster up in the Centro shopping centre in Cranbourne stating Casey Fields on the 4th of Feb. Family Day activities commence 4.30 and the intraclub at 6 pm. My kids actually appear on the poster with Ronald Deeman (the photo was taken at last years family day). I didn't actually know they were in it until I saw it today, so there you go!

There goes that plan.

But it isn't about us - its about the team. We have our trip to Adelaide the following Friday, so playing a Friday night intraclub would not have been the best preparation. Looks like they were not happy with Casey turf as I had heard.

Hopefully those without work commitments can venture down to save the sanity of the rest of us.

Read the thread - the answer is very clear.

yes your personal opinion is always 'the answer' isn't it?

has it occurred to you that some people might be of the opinion that one day of extra prep - in fact 3 quarters of a day if you compare 6pm to say midday the next day - for a NAB CUP match is not exactly a hugely important consideration compared to having a proper supporters day, generating both financial revenue and morale amongst the supporter base? Attendance would be triple on a Saturday, poor decision from the club IMO.

Yes. It is.

I also don't let my understanding of the situation be clouded by emotion.

You're obviously upset you can't attend. It's unfortunate that you can't, but the club comes first.

You're right, 6.5 days is simply not enough time for a professional athlete to recover for a practice match and the outcome of the match is so very important

    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,

    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
