  • 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.

Might be the red wine speaking or perhaps the rose coloured glasses(perhaps they're also one and the same), but just did the season on the ladder predictor (no real thought process just immediate first thought as to a winner & this is what i got;

Collingwood 17 1 4

Hawthorn 16 0 6

Melbourne 14 2 6

Adelaide 13 0 9

Fremantle 13 0 9

St Kilda 13 0 9

Sydney 12 1 9

Geelong 12 0 10

Carlton 11 0 11

Essendon 10 0 12

Nth Melbourne 10 0 12

West Coast 10 0 12

Footscray 9 0 13

Port Adelaide 9 0 13

Brisbane 8 0 14

Ricmond 5 0 17

Gold Coast 3 0 19

obviously the only other draw is us and Collin@%^&d again, like i said no real thought to it. just helps in predicting where everyone will end up due to match ups, will obviously be nowhere near the final ladder but i'd love it if it was....

anyone else done it yet? post your end of year 'Bailey Ladder'

Unfortunately there will be a lot of games that we should probably win that we wont.

The West Coast game last year comes to mind. We are still young and will be up and down.

dont get me started! I flew over from perth with a heap of mates who are eagles supporters. I was sure we were going to win that game :(

Matt Rosa played the only game of note in his whole carrier

I've just done the same exercise and have melbourne finishing with 9-1-12...which doesn't quite add up I think. I'm sure that in rnd 15 or 16 the dees didn't feature and weren't listed as having the bye...

Anyway, we finish 11th and Hawthorn and Adelaide play off the for the flag.

All done, now. Almost no point turning up!

Am in a pick the season in advance tipping comp and had the following:

Collingwood - 21 Wins

Saints - 18

Bullies - 17

Dorks - 16

Deeeessss- 15

Swanies - 14

Crows - 14

Cats - 13

Carlton - 11

kangas - 10

Tullarmine - 7

Lions - 6

Tiges - 4

Port - 4

Eagles - 3

Suns - 2

After round one I certainly would have changed some of my tips - Tullamarine and the Tiges to win more games and the 'Aints and Doggies less wins but that's the way it is............

14 Brisbane 6

15 W_Coast 6

16 Richmond 5

17 GC Suns 1

Tipped us to lose a couple to the likes of Kangaroos and WCE again as I think we'll still be a bit up and down. Won't be anything like the final ladder but I wouldn't be too disappointed if we finished on 10 wins. Just hope we can start to win the "shoulds" and pinch a couple of "maybes".

Surprised myself with how high I have the Swans finishing - don't really rate them that high on paper but I guess they have some good games at home.

Crystal ball or Crystal Meth??

Very funny Wrathchild - didn't see it coming and a good description of a person in front of a computer with Rose coloured glasses.

    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,
