  • 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.

Hold your head high boys

Mate I hope so

Saw some real commitment all over the ground in the last qtr from all the boys

Hopefully the boys can take some confidence from this

Terrible first 3 quarters, but I loved seeing the heart in the last quarter... it shows what we're capable of.

Even if it is GWS its great to be on the winning end of 12 goals in 1 qtr for once

Still a lot of hard work to do - I hope for some at the club it confirms that hard work will pay off

Yeah congratulations boys, you played 1 quarter of football.

FFS Stuie, they are going to be few and far between, just allow yourself a few hours of enjoying the win. Tomorrow we can conduct the post mortem of what occurred in the middle two quarters

I'm enjoying the win, and I hope we get some much needed confidence from it, but it just feels a little bit like wallpapering over the cracks you know? I hope it's a turning point, but the first 3 quarters tempered my hopes somewhat.

Mate spot on

No one thinks our problems are over now we won 1 game - just a relief and some pressure of the club and no embarrassment for us supporters

Lack of run and fading in the middle of the games are still big issures for whoever is coach

We can all hold our heads high tonight though after that last qtr (for a week at least)

Some would say sacking the coach was doing the same thing

Enjoy a win mate - next week I am sure we will be arguing again

I know what you say but we can address the bad tomorrow. Wins will be rare this year but living in Perth I go to work tomorrow after a Dees win and both WA sides losing, that will be even rarer!

Like WC last weekend against us?

FFS. No, we weren't perfect. But we still had a very good win.

WC had more than 1 good quarter against us, look at the stats, specifically the uncontested possessions in the first half.

Sure ... If you want to disregard the first 3 quarters then we might even make the finals.

Fair call mate

But enjoy that the boys could pull that out of the bag

People here are willing to bag the coach and the playing group for the losses - How about a little acknowledgement when they preform well?

No one thinks we are back - but [censored] me the boys and coaching staff showed some guts at 3 qtr time

We all know our spread sucks, and that's why we NEVER win the uncontested possession. To point to that as a sign that West Coast played great last week is pretty disingenuous.

Doesn't matter who they played today it was still the highest scoring quarter in the History of the football club. Conference is a weird thing, all of a sudden you believe. Take that to QLD next week and who knows we might just be 2 and 3

Confidence is everything in footy and these blokes have copped it from everyone over the past 3 weeks

It's easy to drop your head - it's a lot harder to come out and fight...

As i've said we are not out of the woods - 1 great qtr agains equally poor opposition is not proven success - but let's hope the boys can build 2 qtrs out of what they acheived out of the last qtr today

I didn't say they played great, I said they played well for more than 1 quarter.

Can't even enjoy it for 5 mins... Knobs.

Great effort to keep pushing and working, a long way to go but kept it up running out the game and smashed the last qtr.

Please be the start of some sort of turn around. I will not get my hopes up.

    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,

    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.
