  • 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.

Absolutely. More bums on seats. If 30,000 Demon members and 10,000+ Victorian AFL supporters don't turn up for this one i will be suprised.

You've gotta be kidding me.

If I wasn't a Melbourne supporter there's no way I'd consider going to this game.

Spot on, we're actually going to be lucky to get 15 K to this game I reckon. There were 2 matches in Melbourne the whole weekend just gone and Dogs v Port drew 16 K.

Unbelievably the AFL have managed to schedule 4 of 6 matches in Melbourne this weekend and the NM v Adelaide game is on at the same time. On top of this the weather forecast is ordinary and we are following on from Queens Birthady where some of our 'supporters' would have already shown up for their only game of the year.

Whilst it's not quite like Carey/Crows vs Archer/Roos, for an avid footy fan that likes the potential for a bit of spite and vitriol, I consider it rather appealing.

I expect these people to make up at least 10% of the crowd.

Not kidding.

As far as stereotypes go, the snow's a pretty good one. I'm a rubbish snowboarder but I'm there most winters with the thousands of other people loving life. How can you not dig the snow? The snow is amazing.

Won't be seeing me in a landrover though. You bunch of soccer mums.

MItch Clark is way ahead of Scully and with the compo picks it has turned out rather well for us

Scully will probably be a gun all the same though, few more pre-seasons and he could be something else entirely. But then I'd put Jack Viney in the same basket as well, I'd love to see those two play on each other come to think of it.

I want to see Melbourne trade for players with more hardness and See You Next Tuesday in them as opposed to yet another fancy twinkle-toes player like Scully or in the past those like Cam Bruce. Magner has been a revelation, Tapscott is a brute and Mitch is not the shy and retiring type either - these guys win you finals.

Ha! Sheedy! you old bastard! You have to admit he is great for the game!

He is egotistical and full of BS but don't let that fool you. He and Choco have done a fantastic job at GWS. They have instilled something in the players already that we and Mark Neeld realise is desperately short at the Dees. They play with real desperation and belief. As much as we may rail against the formation of this club and their aggressive recruiting, they will flourish. Yes, they got Scully, but his loss was the least of our problems. Due to draft concessions they will also have a list which far outstrips us for talent. Whether we like it or nor we are going to have to get used to playing against a very talented and hard-at-it side. I pray that we beat them on Sunday.

The MFC should release a statement after a survey of members.

MFC dispels rumours of snow going activities amongst supporters.

After surveying its members , the Melbourne football club has found that less than 15% of its members go to the snow on a regular basis.

Only 29% had been to the snow at all, in any capacity.

This should put an end to anyone associating us with the snow ever again.

We can now point to the survey results of our member base to once and for all dispel the myth.

I think you are very close to the mark BB

The thing about this tread that surprises me is the number of people who have taken the bait.

Sheedy throws out a line to bait us and wham in we come calling him all the names under the sun.

He is doing his job beautifully.

This will be IMO a close run thing.

GWS is a better side in their first year than many thought.

On the other hand the Dees are very ordinary.

Richmond easily accounted for us and they struggled with GWS

I expect we will win but not by much, 5 points is my prediction.

God help us if we lose.

Sheedy will not be able to stop laughing for a week

    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

    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
