    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.

We'll find out when the video gets uploaded, assuming it does.

I have to say I was pretty annoyed that there wasn't a team list in the Footy Record. How hard would it have been to do a couple of articles and respective sides for the Women as well as the men? It was frustrating as hell sitting there trying to figure out who was doing what.

There was one, but it was well buried -- page 49 in the middle of nowhere, basically. I didn't find it until after the game!

Took the family to the women's game last night. I was really proud of our football club. Their involvement is to be applauded. I can't tell you what a buzz my daughter got seeing young women playing footy so well on the MCG. Congratulations to all involved and for a historic win to the Melbourne Football Club.

If your daughter is any good at football it appears there is a need for 18 stand in players in the last quarter.

As the Boys need to get ready their night out on the Town about 20 minutes before the end the game.

It would be great if someone could stop the opposition scoring at that time.

But hey, its Melbounre, and they will always do it differently.

It was great to see the MFC becoming a real family Club.

Enjoy!

Fantastic!

I can't believe this wasn't broadcast - at least on Foxtel or 7mate or something!

I couldn't even watch the game on the AFL subscription app on my tablet, such a disgrace.

Thanks so much for the link. Right after dinner I'm going to set myself with YouTube and some popcorn.

Just curious since I haven't seen it yet - how many of the players would look at home in a men's AFL side?

Not many. Chealsea Randall would be as close as you'd get. She was pretty physical and attacked the contests hard and at full pace. It's those two things more than the skills that would be the difference.

I'll also note that there is no way in hell Daisy Pearce was BOG. She was involved in a lot of the congested stuff but didn't actually do much in there. She had very good disposal when she got clear, but there were other players who had far more impact. I'd have gone for Randall or Blackburn.

Had a look. Agree with all that. The Dogs skipper was pretty good too.

Gee a colt by Schwartz out of Randall would be worth following !

Congratulations to the Dees womens team - they were terrific. I thought Chelsea Randall (3) was outstanding and loved the tackling machine - Kiara bowers (17).

There was a team list in the Footy Record - it just wasn't anywhere near the other pages about the women. I'll see if I can find the page number later I when I'm home.

Was good of HB early. Kicked the first ever score in an AFL women's game. I think I saw that she also got the first ever goal. You'd take that right?

Thanks for that....Is the daughter of a good mate of mine....Glad she played well...

i agree totally! Some people aren't willing to put 100% into this idea ... There should have been way more publicity on this than there was!! AFL! Put in or shut up!! And the media dropped the ball on this one.... Their so busy searching for negative stories about players lives, that we don't give a [censored] about! to see when a truly positive monumental story about football comes along...... Was it a women in footy thing? Or another hate MFC move.... Who knows... What I know is they missed what could have been the best story in football for the year!!

Seriously: Been at both(?) of the games so far. Stirring stuff (possibly - but hopefully not totally - cos we won). This is something MFC MUST retain a pre-eminent role in. Nailing my colours to the mast, I reckon a womens comp should be the curtain raiser comp to the AFL.

    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

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
