  • 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.


Who thinks we can beat WC?

either 2 things will happen.

1. Melbourne will put in a good effort and it will be a VERY tight game, maybe even Melbourne could snatch it. But they will put in a good hard bodied effort, showing some fight.

2. We will get smacked around and possibly lose by another 100.

There will be noinbetween 6 goal loss, it'll be clear cut.

Also WCE eagles havent won at the MCG since 2010.

How many did the swans have in the gf? You dont need to have football skills to tackle.

What has schwab got to do with the number of tacklers we have

This will add to the current and past number of record scores against the dees

Not only a win for west coast but a record score if we play like last week

That's a surprising stat.

If we had 22 blokes who gave a [censored] and worked hard going both ways, we'd be in with a chance.

WC getting Kerr and LeCras back is going to hurt. I am only seeing one outcome.

Just please, please, EFFORT. Do NOT lose the tackle count.

It's no longer matter of judging how much worse we are than our opposition by goals per game, but by goals per quarter.

I guessed before the game we were a 5 goal per quarter worse team than Essendon, and thus undervalued the Bombers!

Considering the Eagles aren't in the greatest form, I reckon 4 goals a quarter, so a 16 goal loss.

We're gonna set SOOOOO many records this year......

Beating the eagles at the G possible

Reasons Why

Hopefully Kerr and Lecras play - under done and returning too quickly from injury

New players in team such as Jetta & Evans have pace and will have a serious crack at playing well and staying in the team

Eagles are not getting many forward entries at present.

Jamar can compete against a non spring heeled ruckman in Cox

Tappy to kick 4 in breakout game.

Clark and Trengrove to keep getting better each week after long layoffs

Go Dees we can win this game

I'm heading there with the optimism that fills me every weekend, no matter the result the week before.

I am dreaming of a tight fought win and the turning of the tide but really who knows what will happen, tis football!

All I know is even if we get hammered I'd be much happier there watching the game than working or doing God knows what else.

In 2010 no one gave us any chance agianst the pies and we did much better than expected.

We wont win a qtr if we play like last week.

Hopefully the Dees win some balls in the centre and not let opposition players run riot on their own.

we are dead set no chance

who's got $400,000 to place on a sure thing?

Remember Geelong were a sure thing against the pies not long ago and they got beaten by 50+ points on a Friday night

Django, your first two lines equal mine every week.

But when we get hammered I turn into a raging nutter. I hate it. I become abusive and a road rager. I need to stop going for a while.

    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,

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
