    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.

Forget these suggestions of Clark for captain... should be Jones... if anyone leads by example, he's the man.

Our passengers are weighing us down.

Can't wait for that broom..

Well passengers tonight were

Watts, Trengove, Sellar and at times Grimes decision making and execution cost is dearly.

Happy for the broom to sweep them out?

I try to care about everyone's opinion. Morton's soft, there's no denying that. But he played well tonight, which was better than last week, which was better than the week before. As long as I can say that about him every week, I'll be happy.

I actually really loved his last quarter last week, and was hoping that was the penny dropping. Guess it may be a slower process. Definitely played better than what I would normally expect, just waiting for the day when he knows when to go in hard and when to hang outside.

I get your point, maybe I am marking him harder, or maybe other people are forgetting we took him with pick 4? We've just been so beaten down as supporters that our expectations are really low I think.

I hear you but reality is we need to continue to put everything we have into supporting him. If we don't we effectively let that pick 4 go for nothing. I personally think we are seen Morton progress under Neeld.

I can forgive developing players my ire is usually set on one or two. I think people know who I think needs to go. I actually think Morton was ok tonight and that's big for me.

We NEED another small forward BAAAAD!

How good was Jonesy and McKenzie! Tommy Mac.. I see a lot of positives tonight, not all doom and gloom. But I'm always upset after a loss, weekend ruined!

The fact that our worst players tonight are our three most promising young players (plus Sellar), is either very worrying or extremely good for us, depending on the way you look at it. It could be a sign that they're not developing properly, or it could simply be the worst night of the careers of three fantastic young players (plus Sellar) to come.

Couldn't agree more..we share the same view...

My point to sloonie was relax we actually stood up tonight. Take heart...

I thought Morton was ok in conditions that don't suit him, he gave us a bit of run that has been missing and he did get involved with some good tackles.

Tommy Mc did the job tonight, I thought he probably should and would have been dropped but by playing him the selectors showed some faith that we here often don't. Get more games into him and Morton and the like and these guys may reach their potential and become the players we want them to be.

Would serve him right. Hopefully he's banned cause we don't need that kind of rubbish here. There's enough angst floating about.

I think Morton did enough to deserve a recall. Watts however needs to have a hard look at himself cause frankly he was [censored] poor tonight.

Really missed Clark tonight. Good effort but still no chocs

Disagree. Was not a night for the big guys so he would have been a liability.

Subbing Dunn off instead of Sellar was a bad move. Happy with Morton's effort.

I was [censored] off with Tom Mac's really lazy efforts. Got sucked in at times when St Kilda got the overlap, left Roo on his own close to goal.

I had a knot in my gut all night. We won the footy, had more possessions, covered Goddard and Riewodt, and ran out of the backline with gut running but we made some unpressured turnovers or mistakes that tore the heart out of the game and must have taken a toll eventually:

Moloney's open goal miss

Howe's set shot miss

Jordie's running free kick straight to the Saints = goal

Trengove playing on so stupidly

Rivers and Bate booming kicks into our forward line to three-on-one

But I loved the effort, the discipline, and the sense of mongrel.

Sorry I'm not coming out to waste my time to meet a fat guy who sits behind a phone posting slander to other supporters. You are a no one. Just a pea hearted sook who is an ungracious loser. I feel sorry for you. Good luck having a tea party with your new best friend Joffa.

Bit harsh on Tom Mac? He is playing his 6th game on a match winner? Yes he was a liability early but after first qtr he was excellent.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
