  • 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.

My mental highlight reel is replaying my sitting behind the goals in the rain during the 1960 grand final and watching us keep collingwood to 2 goals for the day.

Just watched the 2000 QF highlights.

Good God I needed that.

That was great - thank you.

I remember that game against Freemantle. Cannot believe it was 5 years ago....

Was sitting about 15 rows back at the Punt rd. end.

Wet arse no fish and a memory that still warms me 53 years later.

I pity our current younger supporters - the few that are there- in 50 years what will their football going memories be?

They'll have the inept one's memorable after match pressers to look back on. Worst coach I've seen since Denis Jones.

Sticking it to Essendon... nek minit....

Green, Jurrah, Moloney would be great in this side right now. Watts showing he is actually a forward and Trengove having a blinder.

I can tell you what our memories are, losing, losing, losing. We haven't won a GF in my lifetime and if we continue to play like this I don't think I will ever see a flag. Still I will continue to go - that is why footy fans are crazy!

Was there that day the comeback v Freo....we couldnt believe it. One of the greatest games I was ever at.

Oh yeah, that was a great day. It was just a no-consequence game, but it felt like it mattered! That game was gone, then it was as if that team that played in the first half didn't come out of the rooms after the break, but a different team came out instead. Can they play this week?

...and one of those would have made for an interesting video review. It was I think Len Mann who looked as if he had marked it just inside the goal line.

Cold and wet but loved every minute of it.

Innocently, naïvely, I thought such things as MFC playing not just finals (every year 1954-1964) but GFs (1954-1960&1964) would go on forever. What a rude shock!

- this was the second of those three games we needed to win.

There was one other game win that stuffed us right up, Western Bulldogs 2007, Jeff White's 200 or 250 the only game that he had a kick and talk about tanking this is the game we needed to lose, the old sliding door what if, we lose we get Watts and Nic Nat in the 2008 draft, one memorable win that cost us so much.

Remember back it must have been in 2006 and im pretty sure we just beat hawthorn and the ground announcer said after the game melbourne fans you are on top of the ladder and they showed it up on the score board.

I should have really savoured that moment more.

2nd highlight, Watts with beautiful body work to take the grab 20 metres out and kick the goal

He has done that many times in his short career, yet Neeld wasted 18 months of his career playing him down back

Those who think its too soon to sack Neeld MUST WATCH THIS TAPE! YES YOU MUST.

It's Enough to make one sick. Look at Trengove taking huge marks, Watts outstanding, Stef Martin perhaps best on ground,Moloney terrific, Gysberts ok. So many of the present players performing as they did then, but can't now. Just watch it and realize we have some very good players, despite what the coach has done to the list. Watch the gameplan.

Urge EVERYONE TO WATCH IT! PLEASE!!!

I remember being out collecting firewood in 1993 and listening to the radio to the Dees thrash the tigers by 20 goals.

Still sticks in my mind as I remember the battle between the flashy gun full forward Allen Jakovich and my fav player at the time ruck rover Andy Lovell for the most goals of the day. All day they went goal for goal and finished with 8 apiece.

Would love to find footage of that one.

Here's the stats of the game, few names in that list that invoke some good memories

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
