  • 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.

Suns are now favourites to win

We were favorites before Neeld pre-empted reasons for not winning.

Then the money turned.Todays Age shows the odds I took. $1.82. After punters got wind of his weasel words in hope of keeping his position the Suns became favorites.

If Mark Neeld was bumped off as coach before Sundays game I would expect Melbourne would be about $1.60.

Got to wonder if players look forward to the "Gee up" before the match.

Wow. Great odds for us, I'd say. Isn't it funny that Demonlanders are now using betting odds to slag on the club. Any excuse to be pessimistic, I guess.

according to stuie Neeld was responsible for 9/11

Pessimism is a wonderful human trait Old Dee. May you never be unpleasantly surprised through the coming years.

How long untill we fold????

These statements are utter shite! I am happy so long as the team I support go out and play in the red and blue and give it their best shot! Yes we have been miles from our best and we need to change to achive this, both on and off the field. But these types of sentances make me think of you to be like Marvin the robot from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Is the world realy so bad..... Only if if you don't know where your towel is!

Charlie Dixon is now out of the game. I wonder how that changes the odds given he's been their most damaging forward this year.

So one would assume so are sellar and davis as we won't need three tall defenders?

I hope GCS take all their tall players in. Sunday forecast is 19 with rain. Who knows, Nicholson and McDonald's kicking might look alright if no one else can kick a waterlogged footy!

Alas! I'm afraid that water-logged footballs are no longer part of the game.

Blokes struggling to boot the ball 30m is not an image that is 'AFL-approved'.

These days there might be 8 balls at either end ready for immediate deployment.

Nah, he and benell were the two best players on the ground, bout 6 million touches between them and 3 goals to ablett and 4 to benell or something, either way they were the only two decent players they had.

Didn't they get best on ground and second best on ground between them?

Anyway I don't think we'll win, we have a very ordinary side, but I'm going anyway.

I would have thought them and brad green who kicked 5 goals 2 would have been the best, jones was good as always also

And rightly so they should be favorites. The suns are in fine form and have Gazza. We on the other hand lack fitness and a decent game plan. I've tipped the suns, the only thing that will make us win will be if Chris Dawes can have a good game and convert the I50s into goals.

I thought the exact same thing.

People get it. Melbourne collectively has a lower average games played than its opponents.

But I hope to God the day we play a team with less experience Neeld's team flogs them...

We should still have too many big bodies for them

They are missing Hunt, DIxon and Warnock, three guys that give them any phyiscal presence they may have.

Reckon we will win by about 40.

Last year they had those players and their defence couldn't cope with our ball movement, sellar looked dangerous, and they had trent Mckenzie on Rivers in the forward line in the first quarter which was a recipe for disaster for them

"We'll go in on Sunday with less experience out there than Gold Coast.

"At the moment we're playing with an average experience of 50 games."

    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,

    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
