  • 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.

Well beaten by several mollydee. Good research too on the Biffenator.

He's probably right about them not racing one another. Sepoy will have to step up to face the BC. Oakleigh Plate form suggests there's better opposition anyway after having the sit of the race.

"The sit " is not out in front mate .Au contraire

Seems it’s gone the way of the Joel Smith tests positive thread aka the Demonland Bermuda Triangle.

It was not that long ago people were saying the Dees would fall apart without Hogan. Glad to see they were wrong. I tend not to follow ex players as I lose interest once they leave the club. I mu

In the running it had the sit behind the horse in front, in second. Last time I looked that wasn't out in front. It may have spent some petrol tickets getting to that position early, as instructed maybe, but it was certainly swamped over the final 200m in a 1100m race.

And yes, they still haven't met, but that's beside the point. Sepoy has 10 wins from 12 starts now.

Couldn't agree more . He was pushed very hard out of the barrier to be in the front mix . Can't expect a young horse carrying 58 kg to turn it on at both ends of the race

Apologies guys, I arrived in Brisbane just as the rain hit up there and returned to Melbourne as the storms hit last night, I think it's following me again.

Did you go to Wang last night?

How did Briefed go the other day, Redleg?

Better than the jockey. Damien Oliver got off and told the trainer it was one of his poorer rides and the horse was never given a chance. Finally got him out when last with 100m to go and he flew home for 6th. Hope he can win next time.

Shows how dangerous it is when Oliver had a bad fall last night. Hopefully he is ok.

Noble Game at 3.58 at Bendigo sunday and Man of Awe monday 1.35 Warnambool.

Went to Etihad and enjoyed our first win there in years. Liked the look of Davis. Big strong boy who goes hard and can play. Think Joel Mac has been terrible and his turnovers unbelievable. Watts struggling a bit, but will come good. Loved the aggression from our players. We are a new side.

Good to see he was ok, it looked a terrible fall.

Apparently he was discharged from hospital about 1am. After a few hours sleep he did some usual fitness stuff, felt ok and thought he saw no reason why he couldn't ride . Lucky guy .

Just so . Gerard Whateley said on Offsiders this morning " You need astounding courage and coconuts to be a jockey like that"

I sometimes get scared when I am in a paddock with a few yearlings that get a bit playful. Imagine riding a racehorse in a tight field at full gallop, just frightening.

There have been some strange selections in the NAB cup so far with some guys getting very little ground time, who I would have thought need it and others a lot. Howe was subbed off in 2nd quarter after palying well. Tom Mc got hardly any time at all. Gysberts got 1 quarter. Tynan got hardly any time.

It might be something to do with loads but I can't work it out.

Don't worry too much about the jocks-they are like cats .

I worry more about my cash-Olly being about the only exception.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
