  • 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.

if there was any more proof needed as to Paul Roos genius just look at what hes done with Cameron Pedersen

Absolutely, he gives the players self belief, something they've lacked for years.

Got to love Roosy, he's restored my faith in the club.

Jamar early , Viney wow . Dawes hard . Pederson . Jkh . And my boy Wattsy is learning . Everyone and well done . Roos sensational . I said we would win . Crows are poor on paper imo and we have been building . Roos is the man from a player management angle and game plan / match day .

Condescending commentry on fox / lack of knowledge and at first look the umpiring .3 free kicks end to end . Seriously .

Party time .

He gets a hell of a lot of ball in tight spaces where it's really hard to spot. He's often the first one with hands on it getting a quick short pass out to one of the other mids.

Yer that's what I thought - he doesn't strike me as a hard in kind of player though (obviously not as obvious as a Viney who just plows through like a bulldozer).

Is Dom is good.

Both Howe n Watts redeemed themselves without setting the world on fire! Whilst I would not have been surprised to see either dropped, it's great that Roosy had faith in both lads. Both were involved in pivotal moments I'm the match! JKH and Jet were outstanding, 2 guys I didn't expect to see in our best on. Sensational win boys!

Trying to think of who played badly or didn't do their role today!

Literally go across the team and think.

Frawley obviously struggled with possibly an injury and a gun opponent in Talia. Jones not amazing but stood up when needed. And Watts was hindered. But besides from that I can only think of one player who wasn't playing great footy. And that's Byrnes!

So Demonland blew a fuse after the win!!!

Bloody fantastic.

The boys were on today.

Best game Frank Grimes has played in years.

Dawesy.

Dom Tyson stepped up when it counted.

12 years between wins over there

Drinks are flowing tonight.

We beat those biased umpires!

I almost smashed a $20,000 TV at work today!! It was close...

Go Demons.

Roosy.

PJ will be smiling tonight.

Great highlights, and how about the leadership shown by the big fella when Watts neutralised Dangerfield over the boundary line late in the game. I knew we'd be hard to beat from that point. Passion!

Melbourne coach Paul Roos was understandably thrilled by the result.

"I was excited after the game, I love winning and I don't like losing," Roos said.

"I'm really pleased for the players and pleased for the staff and pleased for the footy club because it's been really tough.

"The coach has got to enjoy it as well as the players because obviously there's been a lot of downs…I'm very excited, I thought it was a terrific win."

Come on Paul join us for a few more years.

We made 2 great decisions in getting Roos and PJ. Now they are making good decisions.

Next we need Jason Taylor to make very good decisions.

Eat a big fat one Damian Barrett!

That muppet hadn't even entered my thoughts until I read your post, DD36.

Seriously mate, let it go. He's just a flogger that should go and eat a big fat one.

I think Al Clarkson would have something to say about that, but our guy is right up there. We're not easy beats anymore.

We kicked their butt. A bit too hard at the ball for them, me thinks ... Total football - Roos style. Great teamwork all over the ground.

JKH has got a huge upside - no limits for this young bloke. Vince was immense, so many other contributors but Terlich was as cool as a cucumber. Watts was much improved, Pederson stood his ground, Dawes led the forward line, Bail played like he belonged, Viney is as tough as teak.

So many good players and no passengers ... a great team effort. Roos ... the master at work - worth every cent.

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    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
