  • 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.

Last time this year and the big question is whether the news of the possible appointment of Paul Roos will have an effect in the mindset of the players and turn what would otherwise be a non event into a game worth attending.

Also - good luck to Flash on a great career somewhat diminished by injury in the latter years.

I feel there is nothing that could make the MFC current team perform well.

But I would live to be proven wrong.

Can anybody calculate the required winning margin of GWS over the Suns to be able to pass us and leave us in last place

Now that would really finish the year on a great note and slightly improve our draft!

There are a few variables in the equation, the margin in our own game being one.

If we lost and held the margin to 8 goals (which is the line bet) and the GWSGs squeaked home (against the 7+ goal line) the Spoon result would be close to a dead-heat.

Against all reason, I still harbor an irrational man-love for Neville Jetta. Here's hoping he kicks 10 goals and has 50 possessions today. That way, he might just stay on our list next year.

I've spent Nev's whole career wanting more than anything for him to light up. As an MFC supporter, to have a kid who works really hard, is tough as nails turn and made entirely of the right stuff turn out to be no good just seems cruel, but alas, that's what we've got with him sadly.

He will probably end up sub - if he has a really good game and we struggle to secure a small forward in the draft/trade then he just might keep his spot.

Really expected big things fro him this year but is walking on very thin ice. Who knows what we would be saying about him if he didn't get that 3 week suspension (just when his form was good).

Actually on paper our team looks capable of winning [but then again, that has been the tease all season]!

Not once this season (aside from GWS) have I thought our side looked capable of winning. The list is putrid

expect a bit more spring in their step today. I think the workrate and second efforts might up tempo.

its so much between the ears who really knows what outcome possible .

Think theyll try to go out with respect and not a whimper now.

go dees

A comment from a true believer.

However I no longer this team can achieve anything.

I still can not understand how the team won two games.

With the lead that the Suns have over GWS at the moment, no matter what the result for us today our ladder position will remain second last.

Fridays is just something to get it down on paper. The 22 don't have to start in their allotted positions. Pre-game the interchange must be the commencing bench for the start of the match.

Thanks - Sylvia should start on the ground (need all the big senior bodies out there from the bounce)

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
