  • 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.

Probably yes, but countless equivalent infractions against us go completely ignored. It's pathetic the armchair ride some teams get.

Hawks getting raped as well tonight because the umps protect Geelong at all costs.

Hey, don't want to make a fuss or blow it out of scale, but really best not to use 'raped', y'know?

Keep in mind this performance comes flat on the heels of a performance our players themselves described as "unacceptable." If this is the response after being embarrassed for the umptineenth time, then where is the pride and self respect?

Where are we supporters supposed to find the passion to keep doing what we do when the players don't want to do what they're supposed to do?

I honestly would love to see a stat for the number of times a player loses his feet, I reckon Jack Watts would comfortably be the league leader.

He would defeat any able-bodied human being on the planet in that particular statistic.

Jack Watts: World Champion Faller-Over.

Yeah, why should I turn up every week and pay for it, when our players don't turn up when they get paid to do it?

I'm so sick and tired of supporting this club. I thought I would never feel as bad as I did last year, but this is a whole new low.

Autum leaves was what we called it.

After LeCras kicked that simple simple goal, you could see that James Frawley has just had enough of this shite. Throws his hands up in the air as if to say "I'm out."

Has anyone else been noting Frawley's performances lately with a kind of accepting sigh, and thinking "Well, he's not our problem any more"?

Email that in to the club, disgusting we contribute good money year after year and get this [censored] served up to us, at least under Bailey we tried to kick goals.

How often do our players run to one side when trying to tackle? Am I the only one who remembers the old method of aiming right at their hips?

Really not much to comment on in that quarter. We were diabolical, the umpiring was remarkable and the Weagles at least understand that you need to put the ball in front of a forward if they are going to mark it. One great play from Watts doesn't undo the crap he's dished up for the rest of the match. Fitz and Gawn both missed sitters. Michie continues to show hardness and game sense, Viney less so that quarter. Lots of nonsensical play from the rest. Fumbles are still costing us badly, perhaps none more so that Dunn's admittedly difficult chance at HB.

Pretty much since round one when we lost to the Saints, then solidified the last time WCE thrashed us by 100 points.

Good to see we've made absolutely no progress throughout the whole year as we back that up tonight with another 100 point loss.

We learned nothing when we played to GWS for the second time this year. We learned nothing when we played the Bulldogs for the second time. We will have learned nothing from our loss to Norf, that'll be abundantly clear next week.

The only thing worse than Melbourne tonight is the commentary team of Brereton and Shaw. Our football is disgraceful, but I won't even try to put my view of those two into words.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
