  • 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.


GAME DAY - Round 5

Two massive errors by the umpire(s) in last, Ablett given free because McKenzie had two fingers graze his chest. Goal.

Jetta gets his head ripped off during a defensive effort, play on.

These are the inconsistent decisions that make me puke.

Geez, did someone forget to put in the order for a few cans of belt grip? The marks stuck to the suns all day, with most of our boys bent over cleaning up mistakes! Even their blind snaps outta the centre clearences seemed to find someone.

the score flattered us, the gc were far better than we were, while we almost pinched the win because of their woeful kicking we certainly did not deserve it. Too many passengers, too few tackles and poor disposal. The team has very little understanding of the concept of moving the ball on quickly, like the last goal we got. players stop and ignore possible leads and then end up kicking into traffic, was a poor effort. While I like Jack Watts time for him to go back to Casey to learn how to play AFL football, he is lazy around the ball and rarely has a second effort, he goes in for a contest and then meekly accepts it if he looses. Has no heart for the contest, just wants easy kicks. Jetta while he improved showed very little.

While I'm [censored] about the umpiring that did cost us the game, inaccurate kicking from Dawes' set shots is also to blame.

But yeah, [censored] the umpiring. Was absolute [censored] when Ablett got that free kick and whatever dumbass umpire made that call needs to be dropped from the league. What an embarassment.

We can't really say accuracy killed us when the opponent kicked 11.19.

We did miss a lot of crunch goals, right when we needed them (Frawley's miss at the start of the fourth hurt too, as did Howe's shocker in the third).

Should be 1 point down. Robbed.

are we forgetting the goal we got in the 1st Qtr?. It was touched clearly but the 3rd ump gave it anyway. Poor umpiring comes around and goes around. Their poor kicking kept us in it. Has to be said.

That is definitely true, but I (and others, it seems) feel as though there were far too many 50-50 decisions which went their way (the Ablett free was appalling, the Watts incorrect disposal, the passage of play in the third in which about 4 free kicks went begging before one small high contact went to them, even Jones at the opening bounce getting cleaned up in the head), and at momentum-killing times too.

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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,
