    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.

The last month of football for MFC has not been good.

Coming away with no victories and rather having 4 beltings has lead to wide abuse of the club and i keep hearing from opposition, friends and even supporters here that we are rubbish and miles away from being decent.

I honestly dont think the reality is as bad as everyone is making out. Yes we have lost a few but that reality with a developing list against some good teams.

For this reason iv had a look back at this years performances of all teams against the 4 teams we have played in WC, Geel, Hawth, Carlt.

These are the results:

Melb - 0 wins 7 loses

Coll - 4 wins 1 loss

Ess - 2 wins 1 draw 2 losses

Syd - 1 win 4 losses

Adel - 1 win 4 losses

Rich - 0 win 5 losses

Stk - 1 win 4 losses

Free - 0 win 6 losses

North Melb - 0 win 4 losses

Brisb - 0 win 3 losses

West Bull - 1 win 4 losses

Port - 0 win 6 losses

Gold Coast - 0 win 5 losses

Youl see that gold coast, melbourne, brisbane, port, north, freo, richmond (also carlton) have all gone winless against these teams.

Sydney, adel, saints and dogs all had 1 win.

Also over the past month no team has beaten these four in form teams

Obviously we have been well beaten rather than competitive but based on results, half the teams in the afl would have had a similar month (possibly even more accounting for those with 1 win four losses) if coupled with the inevitable loss of confidence that such a month would bring.

Just an observation, doesnt really count for so much but i dont think we are as far behind as everyone seems to think and lets hope to break the streak come Sunday.

C'mon really... There's optimism then there's psychosis

Feel free to continually beat on a bunch of kids who lost 4 games in a row to 4 of the top 5 teams

4 teams who have been unbeaten for the past month no matter who they played.

4 teams that have been beaten 10 times all year (other than by each other) and 4 of those were Collingwood.

Cheer up a bit

C'mon really... There's denial then there's psychosis

when will the denial and acceptance of mediocrity end

Your expectations are so low it's disturbing

We're beyond bad we are abhorrent on every level except for 3

Watts, Trengove and McKenzie

I take it you are saying we are terrible except these 3?

Do we take into account players who haven't been in best form but have shown in the past they can match it with the best. Those players were key last year and if they recaptured their form the team really would be quite competitive. So if we are up and going no we are not that bad.

Those players are: Frawley, Jamar, Davey, Grimes, Green, Sylvia.

Of those Green looks done and Sylvia may go. But the others still will bounce back and have plenty to give. You dont win AA for no reason.

Also think you are harsh on Tapscott in what has been his first real year of senior footy after injury.

Yes we are that bad as a team right now...The results do the talking.

Will the team improve?? I sure hope so with a lot of hard work.

That is the reality.

We may have improved in certain areas from last year, but the AFL competition has improved further.

As of now, we are that bad.

The results are on the board.

Imagine if we go down tomorrow!

It is not the loss but the size of them.

Those stats do tend to debunk the theory about us having such a great fixture. We have played seven games against the top five which is more than anybody else to date this season. Imagine if the number was three or four as it is with some of the others. True, they've been been bad losses but we've been under pressure.

Incidentally, Carlton hasn't beaten any of the other top five teams either. Their record is 0-5.

    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,

    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
