  • 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.

OK so Melbourne does not want to pay out Neeld because we’re broke.

Here’s the solution!

We are on top of the ladder in the VFL (shock, horror) so swap coaches!

Let Casey’s coach be our coach until the end of the year and Neeld can try and coach Casey!

Why not?!

No way in the world would Casey agree with that.

Hell, Welsh would prob laugh if you asked him, ruin his career before it started.

Cut out easy turnovers and improve our skills - and we were right in this game. Again right there - M Jones I think - kick smothered, turnover, goal.

We haven't done too bad.

Neeld will be safe for a few more weeks, PJ sounds busy restructing the place.

Gee, when they mentioned all of our outs, we aren't doing too bad.

Frawley, Grimes and Clark are 3 out of our best 5..

Then throw in Dawes going down, Viney out... We have a bit to work with.

Matt Jones is playing really well.

How many games do Oxley, Sinclair, Seedsman, Martin, Thomas, Williams and Kennedy have between them?

I agree there, but Collingwood have better depth than us, obviously.

I think all those players you mentioned are doing very well, Kennedy, Seedsman and Martin are going to be very good players.

Really like Kennedy.

Lynden Dunn get out of this football club!

This place would be so much more tolerable without comments like this. Dazzle I like your work mate but this is just disrespectful to a loyal Melbourne player. Sure he's had an ordinary day but far from our worst this year.

Geez.... I know they put up a fight in the first.... But the easy goals and basic skill errors are just embarassing and hard to watch....

There must be some inquiry into the umpiring!!!!

Think im done with footy.... Bye

Neeld isn't going anywhere, you people are dreaming.

And this is not his fault.

These guys are playing for him and having a crack. Our problem is not structures, gameplans or anything else.

We just have terrible, terrible decision making and technical skills.

What about our defence mate? You don't need skill to play defence, our defence against the kick in is pathetic, when are we going to accept the fact that the coach has to take the responsibility, in what world at 10+ goals week in well out are acceptable? This team since 2011 has gone backwards, we drew and lost by a point 3 years ago to this team!. Neeld will go and he deserves too. No malice here the facts are you cannot continue to get flogged and show no improvement. Our 2010-11 team would be our currant team by 60+ points!!!

its amazing how some people (Fitzpatrick), make it to AFL, and then... to make the 22. do the melbourne staff see the same player i see?

Saw him for a half last week - some guys have it however need development time, other guys just do not have it. He is in the latter category however we have no one better at the moment.

    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

    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,
