    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.

We're going to absolutely demolish them. Norm Smith is back. The G is ours. Every other club can G&GF.

Playing port round 1 is not good. If we win which we should I will drink too much and start running my mouth stating we are a top 8 certainty. If we lose I will drink too much and claim the year is ov

I'd be pretty disappointed if we lost this game - PA have never beaten us at the MCG - lets keep that tradition!!

Go DEES

Theoretically they did in 2007 but I recall that game was rigged with some farcical umpiring denying us victory, after which I completely lost the plot (forgot now what it feels like to get worked up at the footy). Good to see you've corrected this shambles in the record books.

Hopefully in the top 8 for the first time in a while!

When we drew with Sydney in round 1 last year, we were alphabetically in the 8.

Easter Sunday - mmm...

Will definitely go to church that morning and say a few prayers on the side for the Dees. Gobble down a quick lunch and head off to the G.

Easy.

Sounded like good news.

Until I found it it's on Easter Sunday. In the early time slot. Right when many people are sitting down to lunch.

Gutted. I love going to Round 1. It's typically one of the few games of the year where we're not behind in the win-loss ratio, we have new players/recruits/list/strategies, and there's genuine optimism. I'd have loved for us to open 2013 with Viney, Dawes, Byrnes et al to a sizeable group of our fans.

Meh, so we miss a few thousand extra against Port. Only the hardcore supporters generally turn up to a game against them at the best of timeslots, so save the 'good times' for a team where it will make a difference.

I hope this doesn't mean the majority of our home games against interstate sides again.

RM I do not care who we play, where we play them, what day or at whatever time of the Day or night.

If we win then it is a great time and place.

Just win games in 2013.

Agreed. We're not going to start getting a good fixture with Friday night blockbusters until we are good enough to have earned it. The fixture is designed to maximize revenue for the AFL, and currently we are not a team that will do that. As a result we'll get a lot of Sunday afternoon and twilight home games against interstate sides.

So does this mean the darwin games are now off? It isnt a bad thing. Id rather play port on the G.

I was thinking the same thing.

We always host Port in Darwin.

Would be surprised if we don't sell a game next year considering we're not exactly a financial powerhouse.

Maybe we host someone like Gold Coast or GWS up in Darwin next year?

That would be an unmitigated disaster. We'd jeopardise the 4 points and a healthy percentage boost. If we have any brains, we'll strongly request a game against one of the Perth teams up there since we do the AFL a favour by sacrificing a home game to play there, albeit for cash. I'll be livid if we play an expansion team there.

I wouldn't mind GWS up there. They'll still be easy beats anywhere.

It's the Gold Coast that will start to be a tough side to play against.

We play Port Adelaide first up next year at MCG - good news!!!

shouldn't it be "good news" we play PA at the MCG round one.??

couldn't give a rat's [censored] who we play round one. Brinng on Hawkers I say! HST A home game is preferable and V a club that DRAWS.... PA ISN'T going to draw is IMO is a wasted MCG clash. In a nutshell a Blues, Bombers , Swans or Hawkers type clash would of been the medicine.

    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,
