  • 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.

Inspirational Cats!!

No, not a troll, I have had the same admiration over the pies for the last 3-4 years.

Just don't really feel the need to express my feelings (like some of the posters) for another club on a public MFC forum.

They beat us by 186 points and laughed.

The players are losing the soft label this year, so maybe it's rubbing off onto the supporters?

It's not the game plan. We need their heart, determination and sheer will power...

Bartell is the best player in the comp IMO. When the game is to be won for the cats have a look who stands up. 9 outta 10 its Bartell.

And do you think we wouldn't be laughing if we beat the Cats by 186 point?

The fact is that much of this discussion relates to the fact that what was seen in the Cats performance is what many of us would love to see in the Dees... a bit of fight and a never-say-die attitude. It is hardly soft to discuss their superb effort and how we could take a leaf out of their book (your "handbag loving" comment was very odd when you consider how hard they went into each contest)... and many on these forums appreciate good footy, not just the MFC.

A friend told me this morning that G. Ablett flew to the U.S during last year's grand final because he couldn't bear to watch Geelong playing. Does anyone else have any memories of this?

It was in the newspaper today, but I had no knowledge of it at the time.

Not sure if it's still there, but this inspirational cat was randomly featured in the official Dees vs West coast gallery on the afl website.

The caption reads:

But this is a very difficult point for some around here to understand. The "names" are largely irrelevant its how good your structures & development is ..

Yeah, imagine how much they would have won by if Bartel and Selwood had played good games.

Every time Geelong and Hawthorn used the centre corridor I cried.

Problem is you have to have the footskills to pull off the Geelong gameplan. The reason Neeld is forced to start with kick it long to a contest, force it out of bounds and hopefully win the next clearance gameplan is exactly that reason, we have poor skills. Every team would like to emulate Geelong or the Hawks, but few have the skills.

Are you sure about that? I don't think his footy philosophy is a centre-corridor attacking plan.

Caroline Wilson said this on Footy Classified on Monday when she was talking of Ablett having made a big mistake by going to Gold Coast .

Yes , she said , he can sit and count his money , but he now has regrets , particularly watching Geelong play without being there himself .

I love watching this team. Stevie J, Selwood, Menzel last year just amazing players.

I admire them more than anything. They gave us what we deserved last year.

If we can be half as good as them one day, we'll be ok.

Yip - I love watching Stevie J & Bartel - Selwood is a dead-set inspiration and I enjoy watching a few of the "lesser lights" Corey, Enright & Kelly.

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

    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
