  • 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.

I'm in Melbourne for work next week. Was planning on flying in mid arvo and meeting some mates at Carlton v Richmond. About a month I decided to brave a 6:05am Saturday flight out of Perth so I'd be

No forward line again, for God's sake you don't just draft a key forward(Cook), and a key forward/ruck (Fitzpatrick) for nothing! WHAT THE HELL!

Leigh Brown said that Fitz and Cook aren't ready for AFL yet due to not being able to run out an entire game (injured during the year etc). Yes no forward line sucks but this year was a write off since round one so there is no point putting the lambs to slaughter for the sake of getting games into them. Maybe against GWS and Gold Coast.

Missed plenty of pre-season and matches through injuries etc. They're not fit enough to be considered.

There fit to play VFL but not AFL and still no Gysberts

Cook has been playing football every week for 6 weeks but is not fit to play in a game were half his team mates are also not fit what a load of SH&*.

If you cant get games with this MFC list your in big trouble.

We used pick 12 in the national draft almost 2 years ago and still has not played a game.

Well done MFC.

Gysberts and Cook might well say let's try another club if Neeld keeps doing this.

Gysberts is in my best 22 at our club even with a leg missing this year.

Cook has been sitting on the side for 2 years training his bum off and still will not get given a go when we have players like Garland playing forward.

We really have not one forward to kick to and this Kid cant get a game.

Give us members something to look forward to FFS we are crap.

I hardly think a rake forward who isn't ready is something to look forward to.

Cook is nowhere near AFL ready,he can't dominate VFL defenders yet.

He'd get mauled against AFL defenders that would run off him all day and he doesn't have the tank to go with them.

He's not a Cameron/Patton that is good enough to play straight away,maybe he'll never be good enough.

Reckon Couch should have stayed in, made a few errors but thats pretty normal in this team.....

All of those crying out for Couch to get a game saw that he was not good enough yet.

We all need to just shut up about our underperforming PLAYERS and get behind the TEAM.

We dont know any better than the paid staff so we should SUPPORT the team on the park.

We may surprise ourselves with a little bit of optomism.

I'm hoping we can snatch this one for Brad Green-a top clubman and stalwart for us over the years.

Negativity is just too easy-lets make some noise.

It would be good to stuff Norths season.

Wankers...

Nice one mate.

No good pointing our frustrations at ourselves.

I'm a big believer in knocking over other peoples sandcastles when you are feeling sh!t about yourself.

Hope we can de-rail a few this year to end the season on a high.

    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

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
