  • 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.

Not much that hadn't been covered already. Most notable was: - re the Wingard free, did not dispute that it was a free, but questioned whether one should have been awarded to Pedersen for a similar i

Most of you missed that he essentially said he is at the club until we don't want him anymore - he sounded like a Demon lifer from here. Who cares if he coaches for 3 years or 5 years - he is a Demon

Club stooping low to agree to this appearance.

I'll be well tucked up in bed and won't even bother recording this tripe. Right up there with TFS this rubbish.

The only one you left out was, "what did you make of <insert debatable umpiring decision>?"

When you think about it, the guy has the patience of a saint.

Shock horror the club willing to put the coach on one of the few rating footy programs.

It's basically free publicity to our sponsors and has to be done. But I doubt Roos will have much to say. At least he gets a chance to address questions from Hutchy and Wilson (and on the TFS Barrett). They might be bottom feeders but strangely they are granted a lot of influence and they can make life hard if they persistently peddle crap rumours. Unfortunately it's better to have them onside.

I would love to see Damien Barrett argue with Roosy about a topic

DB: is it correct the the club is looking to recruit Jeremy Cameron?

PR: no, it's categorically incorrect, we have had no contact with Jeremy, and we will not have any contact with Jeremy.

DB: but my sources tell me you have made him an offer and several news sources have reported the same thing...

PR: need to check your sources mate, i would be very surprised if the club is trying to recruit him behind my back.

the Dom Tyson trade is a good possibility if Barrett arks up

I think Roosy would be laughing to much to argue with purple on that one, he seems to find the critics on that one hilarious, what's dom averaging 25 touches and a goal a game? haha

Wouldn't mind Barrett being right on that one.

If Watts made contact with Wingard's head on the follow-through it's clearly a free kick.

If that's the case it's a terrible rule, it's essentially saying Watts should not try and spoil the ball incase he makes contact with someone afterwards, it's a mans game ffs, imo it was a terrible decision whether correct by the letter of the law or not, a match defining decision was made that penalised a player for attacking the ball 100% and rewarded a bloke for simply standing in the way.

Can someone explain to me how a penalty can be awarded against Watts for front end contact after punching the ball out. He made contact on the follow through. Is this correct?

Umpire didn't see it and guessed or he saw it and made an incorrect call. The only possible answers.

Umpires intimidated by the port crowd?

    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,
